Are you frustrated with the impact the natural aging process or other lifestyle factors have made on your body? Do you feel like you have lost your full range of motion or ease of mobility, and has it left you frustrated with a limited daily life? Do you worry you have tried every therapy possible, or are you hesitant to try therapies that use foreign substances?
Consider stem cell therapy if you said "yes" to any of these questions! This dynamic therapy uses stem cells and growth factors obtained from your own body and containing your DNA to promote regeneration and healing.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive process to stimulate tissue growth. The process uses stem cells to promote tissue regeneration and improve body function. When reintroduced to the body, these cells differentiate into the surrounding cells and tissues, such as:
- Blood vessels
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Collagen
- Muscles
- Neural tissue
- Pulmonary and cardiac tissue
Our team in Chicago is pleased to offer this therapy as a member of the Cell Surgical Network®, or CSN. CSN is the largest regenerative medical clinical research organization in the world. They are committed to providing access to regenerative medical care for many degenerative and inflammatory conditions.
What Could I Expect From the Therapy Process?
The stem cell therapy process begins with harvesting the stem cells. They are typically harvested from body fat in a short, simple process performed under local anesthesia. The process is similar to fat removal for liposuction and is virtually painless.
Stromal vascular fraction (SVF, which contains large numbers of stem cells) is surgically isolated from the harvested fat tissue. The isolated stem cells are deployed to our patients in various ways specific to their condition. All deployments are done under IRB-approved protocols and tracked for safety and efficacy for up to 5 years.
This therapy causes little to no pain, and you should be able to return to your normal daily activities soon after.
The results achieved with stem cell therapy will vary for each person, but they may take some time to enjoy as the body responds to the stem cells. Our providers may recommend a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
Ideal Candidates
One of the best things about choosing a personal stem cell therapy is how diverse the treatment is. As it utilizes substances from your own body, it minimizes the risk of infection and promotes the body responding well to therapy.
A consultation with our qualified team in the Chicago area can help determine if this therapy is a good fit for you and your goals. It is important to approach this therapy with realistic goals and expectations.
Conditions Stem Cell Therapy Can Treat
At Old Town Med Spa, stem cell therapy is revolutionizing the way we approach anti-aging and aesthetic concerns. Below are some concerns this innovative treatment can address:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stem cell therapy stimulates natural regenerative processes. It can improve texture, plump the skin, and smooth wrinkles.
- Skin Laxity and Loss of Elasticity: Stem cells help boost collagen and elastin production. This tightens the skin and improves its firmness and elasticity without the need for invasive procedures.
- Volume Loss in the Face: Stem cell therapy can restore lost volume by promoting tissue regeneration. This leaves your face looking fuller and refreshed.
- Dull or Uneven Skin Tone: Stem cell therapy rejuvenates the skin at a cellular level. This improves tone, texture, and radiance for a glowing complexion.
- Acne Scars and Skin Damage: Stem cell therapy accelerates healing. It helps rebuild damaged tissue, smooths scars, and restores healthy skin.
- Hair Thinning and Loss: Stem cell therapy can stimulate dormant hair follicles. This treatment promotes natural hair growth and enhances hair's thickness and health.
- Joint and Soft Tissue Regeneration: Stem cell therapy can address joint pain or soft tissue injuries. This non-surgical option helps regenerate damaged tissues to provide relief and improve mobility.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy Over Surgery
Stem cell therapy offers a non-invasive, innovative alternative to surgical procedures. Here are some of the top benefits of this advanced treatment:
- Less Invasive: Stem cell therapy involves targeted injections. They allow for quicker healing and less disruption to your daily life.
- Reduced Downtime: Most stem cell therapy clients can return to normal activities within a day or two. This makes it a perfect option for busy lifestyles.
- Natural-Looking Results: Stem cell therapy stimulates your body's natural regenerative processes. The results appear gradual, natural, and subtle. There's less of a risk of looking "overdone" or artificial.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Surgery can cause complications such as infection, scarring, and anesthesia-related side effects. Stem cell therapy uses minimally invasive techniques and relies on the body's natural healing mechanisms.
- Promotes Long-Term Healing: Stem cell therapy repairs and regenerates tissue. This promotes long-term improvements in skin tone, texture, and volume.
- No Scarring: With stem cell therapy, there are no incisions. You won't have to worry about scars, sutures, or the need for wound care.
Common Forms of Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy comes in various forms. Some of the most common types include:
- Facial Rejuvenation with Stem Cells: Stem cell therapy for facial rejuvenation involves injecting stem cells into targeted areas of the face. It can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
- Hair Restoration Therapy: Injecting stem cells into the scalp stimulates dormant hair follicles. It encourages thicker, healthier hair over time.
- Stem Cell Microneedling: Microneedling combined with stem cell therapy enhances skin rejuvenation. It involves controlled injuries to the skin with tiny needles and delivers stem cells deep into the tissue.
- Body Contouring and Skin Tightening: Stem cell therapy can target areas of loose or sagging skin on the body, such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs. It tightens the skin and improves its firmness for a more youthful appearance.
- Stem Cell IV Therapy: This therapy focuses on full-body rejuvenation and wellness. It can improve energy, reduce inflammation, and slow down signs of aging.
