What is the much-talked-about [autologous fat-derived stem cell infusion]? Bianca's cosmetic physician, Dr. Yoko Maeda, explains the precautions to take when receiving this treatment!
To maximize your beauty, care for both the inside and outside is essential. We aim to bring advanced anti-aging treatments, such as peptide therapy common overseas, to our Japanese patients. While aesthetic medical approaches may offer more gradual results, they are crucial for building the foundation that supports beauty and youth. We combine nutritional therapy and lifestyle improvements with hormone replacement, peptide therapy, and regenerative medicine to propose personalized treatment plans. We provide long-term support for health and beauty from within.

Hello, everyone. I'm Yoko Maeda, a specialist in aesthetic medicine at Bianca Clinic.
Regenerative medicine has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to address diseases and injuries that were difficult to treat with conventional medicine. In the field of cosmetic medicine, it is also viewed as a promising new option for achieving health and beauty from within.
This time, we'll introduce the "autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusion." We'll explain what kind of treatment it is in an easy-to-understand way.
What is autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusion?
Autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusion is a form of regenerative medicine that involves extracting stem cells from your own fat tissue, culturing them, and then administering them intravenously to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation in damaged areas.
This is an innovative treatment that harnesses the power of the stem cells themselves, rather than utilizing the supernatant from stem cell culture, as seen in "Purified Concentrated Cell Culture Supernatant Infusion."
Originally developed to alleviate pain lasting from several months to years (chronic pain), this treatment also offers various synergistic benefits. By easing physical discomfort, it enhances quality of life (QOL). When combined with other aesthetic treatments, it can also address skin concerns.
Since IV therapy works throughout the entire body, it may be the ideal approach for those who wish to achieve healthy beauty from within or seek comprehensive anti-aging care for the whole body.
Treatment Process for Autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Infusion
First, we will perform a blood test to check for any infectious diseases.
If the examination results indicate that treatment is feasible, fat tissue is harvested from the patient's own abdomen or inner thighs.
Stem cells are isolated from the adipose tissue, cultured to increase their number, and then reintroduced into the patient's body via intravenous infusion.
On the day of your IV infusion, you may return home after a short wait. Following that, you will need to attend regular check-ups every six months to monitor your health.
Is autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusion truly safe?
One major advantage of this treatment is that stem cells are harvested from the patient's own fat cells and cultured, making allergic reactions and rejection relatively uncommon.
However, some individuals considering treatment may feel uneasy, wondering, "Is autologous fat-derived stem cell infusion truly safe?"
If you are planning to receive autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusion or are considering it, be sure to choose a clinic while paying attention to the following points.
Key Points for Choosing a Clinic for Autologous Fat-Derived Stem Cell Infusion >
- Has the plan for provision been submitted to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare? Has it been approved by the ethics review committee?
- Is it manufactured in a cell culture processing facility?
- Have adverse events been disclosed to date?
- Is the quality management system reliable?
While autologous adipose-derived stem cell infusions, which administer living cells, hold promise for innovative effects, many aspects remain unexplained.
When choosing a clinic, focus on whether you can receive treatment with confidence, rather than leaving gray areas unresolved.
