Regenerative Cell Therapy
Regenerative cell-based approaches are an active area of medical research. At Beautiful Orlando Spa & Cosmetic Surgery, we focus on patient education and personalized planning—especially when cell-based therapies are discussed alongside procedures like liposuction or other cosmetic surgery care.
Personalized care in Kissimmee, serving the greater Orlando area.
A thoughtful approach to regenerative care
“Regenerative cell therapy” is an umbrella term used to describe cell- and tissue-based approaches that aim to support repair and recovery. Some approaches use tissues from your own body (autologous), and are sometimes discussed alongside PRP therapy for targeted goals.
What patients are looking for
Many patients ask about regenerative therapies for recovery support and wellness goals. We guide you through what’s known, what’s evolving, and what is considered investigational.
Your consultation includes a full review of goals, medical history, and existing evidence—so you can make a confident, informed decision.
This page is informational. Candidacy and treatment planning require an in-person consultation and individualized medical evaluation.
Who may be a good candidate?
You may be a candidate for discussing adipose-derived cell approaches if you are already planning cosmetic surgery (such as liposuction, breast surgery, or Brazilian butt lift), since adipose tissue is often part of the surgical workflow. Some patients also inquire about investigational uses related to men’s health or hair concerns.
Often discussed alongside surgery
Patients already undergoing procedures involving fat (e.g., liposuction) may ask about cell-based options as part of a broader recovery and wellness plan.
Other inquiries (investigational)
Some patients ask about ED or hair restoration applications. Evidence and regulatory status vary—so we focus on education and safe, compliant care.
What the process may involve
In certain settings, adipose-derived tissues may be collected under local anesthesia and processed depending on the clinical protocol. If any cell-based product is discussed or used, your provider will review the process, potential risks, and the appropriate medical oversight.
Comfort first
Local anesthesia is applied to the donor area to keep you comfortable.
Tissue collection
A small amount of fat may be collected when appropriate and indicated.
Treatment planning
Administration route and aftercare are determined by your individualized plan and medical oversight.
You’ll receive clear post-treatment guidance, including comfort measures and activity recommendations tailored to your plan.
Experience and follow-up
Your experience will vary depending on the plan discussed, whether it is paired with another procedure, and the intended goals. During your consultation, we’ll outline what to expect, including any activity modifications and follow-up timeline.
Outcomes vary. Some goals may require multiple sessions or ongoing maintenance depending on the condition and the protocol.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and encourage patients to reach out with questions at any point in the process.
If you are considering any regenerative medicine product, ensure you understand the evidence, risks, and regulatory oversight before proceeding.
Important information before you decide
Regenerative medicine is a promising field—but many products marketed as “stem cell” or “fat-derived cell” treatments are not FDA-approved for many advertised uses. The FDA has issued consumer and patient alerts describing risks and the problem of illegally marketed products.
The FDA states it regulates regenerative medicine products (including fat-derived cells / stromal vascular fraction) and warns that many are illegally marketed and may pose serious risks. (See sources below.)
The American Urological Association (AUA) considers intracavernosal stem cell therapy investigational and PRP for ED experimental, recommending these only in IRB-approved research settings.
Our approach is transparency-first: clear expectations, shared decision-making, and prioritizing patient safety.
Frequently asked questions
What is “regenerative cell therapy”?
It’s a broad term used for cell- and tissue-based approaches intended to support repair or recovery. Specific methods, evidence, and regulatory status vary.
Where do the cells come from?
Some approaches use tissues from your own body (autologous), such as adipose (fat) tissue. The exact method and processing depend on the clinical protocol.
Is this FDA-approved?
Many regenerative medicine products marketed for broad uses are not FDA-approved. The FDA encourages patients to ask about regulatory status and to be cautious of unapproved products.
Can this be used for erectile dysfunction (ED)?
The AUA guideline states stem cell therapy for ED should be considered investigational and PRP therapy for ED experimental, recommended only in IRB-approved research settings.
How many treatments are needed?
It depends on the goal and the plan discussed. Some applications may require multiple sessions or maintenance, which will be reviewed in your consultation.
What are the potential risks?
Risks depend on the product and route of administration. The FDA has reported serious adverse events with some unapproved regenerative products, which is why proper oversight matters.
What should I ask during my consultation?
Ask about evidence for your specific goal, potential risks, what’s known vs investigational, and whether the treatment is offered as part of appropriately regulated clinical research.
