Frequently Asked Questions in Clearwater FL

Umbilical and Wharton’s Jelly products are rich in natural growth factors and regenerative components that may help support the body’s own healing responses. These materials are collected from healthy, full-term deliveries with donor consent and are processed in FDA-registered facilities to ensure sterility, purity, and consistency.

Umbilical stem cells and Wharton’s Jelly both come from the umbilical cord, but they refer to different parts of the tissue. Umbilical stem cells are the actual regenerative cells found within the umbilical cord blood and tissue. These cells have the ability to assist the body’s natural healing processes by supporting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Wharton’s Jelly is the soft, gel-like substance that surrounds the blood vessels in the umbilical cord. It contains a rich source of growth factors, cytokines, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are known for their regenerative potential and anti-inflammatory properties. When used in medicine, Wharton’s Jelly–derived products are valued for their natural ability to cushion, protect, and support healing in areas of injury.

Exosomes are very small particles released by stem cells. They act as messengers, carrying signaling molecules such as proteins and RNA that help coordinate the body’s cellular repair and communication. While exosomes do not contain living cells, they play an important role in supporting cell-to-cell communication and promoting balance within the body’s natural healing environment.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from a small sample of your own blood that is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. Umbilical and Wharton’s Jelly–based therapies use regenerative components derived from birth tissue that provide a biologic matrix to support healing. PRP and regenerative tissue injections may be used separately or together, depending on your treatment plan.

Regenerative injections are performed in our Clearwater clinic using sterile techniques for comfort and precision. The procedure typically takes about one hour, and most patients resume normal activities soon after. Our regenerative IV therapies are administered by licensed medical professionals who deliver stem cells directly into the bloodstream. This is done through an IV push, and the procedure takes less than 30 minutes.

Yes. The biologic materials we use are processed in FDA-registered laboratories, screened for infectious diseases, and handled in compliance with federal and state safety regulations.

Umbilical-derived stem cells are classified as immune privileged. They lack the specific antigens that typically cause immune rejection, allowing them to be used safely in therapeutic applications without the need for donor matching.

Each individual’s response varies. Scientific studies show some patients notice gradual improvement over several weeks or months as the body’s natural processes occur. Our focus is on supporting long-term tissue health, comfort, and function, with careful follow-up and evaluation.

Regenerative procedures are typically not covered by insurance. The cost depends on the treatment type and area being addressed. We provide free consultations and clear pricing before any treatment begins, along with flexible payment options to make care more affordable.
