Aeterna Health’s Stem Cell (svCell) Application is a cutting-edge therapy that utilizes live cell clusters to promote healing and rejuvenation. By leveraging the regenerative properties of stem cells, svCell therapies aim to enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health and vitality.
The skin, composed of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat layers, acts as a crucial protective barrier against environmental factors. Efficient wound healing and epithelial cell proliferation are vital to restoring this barrier function, essential for survival. Evidence shows that resident epithelial stem cells in adult skin are key to driving the re-epithelialization process.
svCell harnesses the regenerative properties of these stem cells to enhance collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. This process not only restores the skin’s barrier function but also results in a youthful and radiant complexion, effectively rejuvenating the skin and adding life to life.
svCell is ideal for individuals who desire natural-looking rejuvenation without the risks of invasive procedures. This therapy is suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages, making it a versatile option for many. Specifically, svCell is beneficial for:
This minimally invasive treatment is particularly suited for those seeking a safe and effective solution to improve their skin’s overall health and appearance, without the downtime associated with more aggressive procedures.
svCell therapy, is an Australian patented biotechnology process, that has been used as a complementary approach to treat osteoarthritis in Australia and the United States for many years.
The potential benefits of using svCell therapy in the clinical treatment of osteoarthritis in Australia include:
as the svCell ultrasonic cavitation process uses a person’s own cells, there is a reduced risk of infection or disease transmission;
as the svCell concentration process does not culture cells, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
svCell therapy has the potential for therapeutic advantage as it contains a mix of regenerative cells, with some scientific research suggesting that this mixed cell population may provide superior treatment.
Autologous adipose-derived svCell therapy has a reduced risk of adverse reactions or serious side effects.
As the treatment is autologous, with the svCell regenerative cells derived from the patient’s own body, there is a lower risk of infection or disease transmission. Using the patient’s own, uncultured cells reduces potential risks and complications as associated with rejection and allergic reactions.
The ultrasonic cavitation concentration process does not use any enzymes or animal products.. Within a relatively short period of time, potentially within 4 hours, the patient’s cells are concentrated and injected. As a result, there is a reduced chance of infection, disease transmission, bacterial contamination, or allergic reaction.
Over the last 12 years, there has been a body of evidence in peer-reviewed scientific literature supporting the safety of svCell in the treatment of osteoarthritis for knee and hip disease.
The svCell therapy procedure involves removing adipose (fat) tissue from the patient’s abdomen, concentrating a mixture of cells, and then re-injecting the cell concentration into the patient’s painful joint(s).
In Australia svCell therapy procedures must be conducted within an accredited hospital setting under medical supervision with patient’s admitted to the hospital as a day surgery patient. The procedure is usually completed within 4 hours after which the patient may go home.
Preparation
Patients taking Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications (such as Voltaren and Mobic), corticosteroids, or herbal medications (e.g., Krill oil, fish oil, Vitamin E, and Ginkho Biloba) are advised that these must be discontinued at least 10 days before the procedure, according to standard hospital admission instructions. Those patients taking aspirin (Cartia, etc.), clopidogrel (Plavix or Iscover), warfarin, or anticoagulants for a heart condition or stroke prevention, would be provided specific information by their own doctor on when to stop and restart these medications.
Removal of adipose tissue
Patients receive oral sedation, and local anesthetic, and may be prescribed an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection and are expected to be comfortable, and relatively pain-free.
A syringe or miniliposuction method is used to extract 60-300ml of adipose (fat) tissue from the patient’s abdomen, as that is all that is required. The amount of fat consumed will be determined by the number of joints to be treated. The treating doctor will explain the method of fat extraction to be used prior to the procedure. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, no stitches are usually needed.
Collect regenerative cells
Following adipose tissue removal, a sterile laboratory technician immediately performs the svCell ultrasonic cavitation process to concentrate the patient’s regenerative cells. A flow cytometer is used to count cells and viability and determine the best dosage for the injection of svCell concentrate.
Injection
The injection site is prepared in advance. A Doctor will then inject the svCells into the joint(s).
Where necessary, ultrasound guidance can be used to guide needle placement.
After the injection, patients are monitored for 1 hour before being released to go home.
Please Note: The effectiveness of svCell/iCell therapy can vary based on individual circumstances. We encourage discussions with our medical team to understand how svCell/iCell therapy might align with your needs. Compliance with TGA regulations, Aeterna Health is committed to adhering to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations. All potential benefits mentioned are based on ongoing research patient safety, and informed decision-making.
