Before your treatment

Am I a candidate for stem cell therapy?

A specialist reviews your case and your studies first, so your plan is designed for you. The review is free and happens before you spend anything. Write on WhatsApp to start.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Share what you are living with. Your coordinator matches you with the right specialist, who designs the protocol for your case. See all treatments.

What information is needed from me?

Recent imaging (an MRI or X-ray for joints and spine), recent blood work for the other protocols, and a short medical history. If you do not have them, your specialist tells you what to prepare.

How far in advance do I need to book?

There is no long waiting list. Once your plan is agreed, your dates are arranged around your calendar.

What health checks happen before treatment?

Every IV protocol starts with cancer markers, for your safety, and your specialist reviews your health in your online consultation, before you travel.

About the treatment

What kind of stem cells are used?

Mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s jelly, the tissue of the umbilical cord, at Passage 3–4: young cells, grown just long enough for a full treatment dose, while many clinics grow theirs to Passage 5 and beyond. A passage is each round the cells spend growing in the lab. Every vial comes with its own quality certificate. Why Passage 3–4 matters.

Why come to Colombia instead of the US?

In the US, stem cells expanded in a laboratory can only be used inside clinical trials authorized by the FDA. In Colombia the law allows them in treatment, applied by specialists, at a fraction of the US price. Stem cell therapy is not approved by the FDA, but in Colombia it is legal.

Does the application hurt?

It is done under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on your protocol, so you stay comfortable throughout.

Is it safe?

Applications are performed in a fully equipped operating room, with ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, by specialists. Your specialist reviews your individual health in your consultation before anything is booked.

How is this different from PRP or cortisone?

Cortisone and PRP are often used to manage symptoms for a while. Mesenchymal stem cells release signals that may help calm inflammation and support the body’s own repair processes. Your specialist explains what to expect in your case.

Is this approved by the FDA?

Stem cell therapy is not approved by the FDA, but in Colombia it is legal. It complements your regular medical care, and every case is reviewed by a specialist first.

When will I see results?

Every body responds at its own pace. Cells work gradually, from the inside: for joints and spine, improvement is usually expected at 4 to 6 months, and your follow-up consultations track your progress.

Will I need more than one application?

Some conditions improve with a single application; others may need more in the future. For joints, the team assesses your progress at about six months before recommending anything else. For systemic conditions, a second visit 6 to 8 weeks after the first is usually recommended.

Your trip

How many days do I need in Medellín?

Most protocols are one day of treatment, and a night at the hotel can be added to your plan; for joints and spine the doctors recommend staying at least two days after the application. The intravenous protocols take three days and the intrathecal protocol four. The hotel can be added to your plan. See your journey.

What is included in the price?

The starting price is the treatment itself: the stem cells, the application and a consultation with the doctor, with a bilingual coordinator. The Marriott Hotel in the same building as the treatment center, airport pickup, transfers, sedation and exosomes can be added to your plan, and your coordinator sends that price in writing. Flights and meals are not included. See starting prices.

Is Medellín safe?

Your hotel and the treatment center are in El Poblado, one of the city’s most international neighborhoods, and your coordinator arranges every transfer. More about Medellín.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

No. You are looked after in English from your first message to your flight home.

Can I bring a companion?

Of course. Many patients travel with a partner or a family member, and your coordinator helps you plan for it.

Can I combine treatments in one trip?

Yes, and combined plans receive a discount. Your specialist plans the days so nothing overlaps.

After your treatment

What does recovery look like?

You rest at the hotel, one elevator away from the treatment center, with written care instructions and your coordinator a message away.

Can I take anti-inflammatories afterwards?

After the application you take only the medication your doctor recommends and skip anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), so the cells can do their work.

What follow-up do I get?

Online consultations with the same team once you are home, included in your price.

Good to know. A specialist reviews each patient’s medical history first, so every plan is designed for the person. Every body responds at its own pace. Stem cell therapy is not approved by the FDA, but in Colombia it is legal.
