New Health Creation from the Cellular Level”
Autologous adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine in which
“stem cells” harvested from one’s own fat are cultured and returned to the body, and
these stem cells repair diseased tissue.

What are “stem cells”?
Cells that change as needed, “stem cells”
The human body consists of The human body is made up of approximately 37 trillion cells.Each body part has its own role, such as skin cells for skin, muscle cells for muscles, etc., and each cell maintains vital activities by fulfilling its role.
Originally, we began with a single cell, the oocyte.
At that time, cells had no fixed “role,” and after fertilization, each cell had its own role during repeated cell division and the development of the human form.
The “role” of the stem cell are cells that have no defined role.
Stem cells can become skin cells or liver cells, depending on the instructions they receive.
Our stem cell therapy is performed using “somatic stem cells,” which are cells that exist in our bodies.
somatic stem cell
Somatic stem cells are stem cells found in various parts of our body. These cells have specific roles, and until recently, for example, it was thought that hematopoietic stem cells, which produce blood, could only change into blood cells, and neural stem cells, which produce the nervous system, could only change into nervous system cells.
However, mesenchymal stem cells, a type of stem cell found in bone marrow, have the so-called ” pluripotency ” to differentiate into muscle, cartilage, and nerve cells. pluripotency which can differentiate into muscle, cartilage, nerve, and other cell types.
Our Stem Cell Therapy
Autologous adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy
Tokyo Ginza Wellness & Aging Clinic offers regenerative medicine using adipose-derived stem cells, the aforementioned somatic stem cells.
In autologous adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy, about three grains of tissue the size of a grain of rice are harvested from the patient himself/herself, cultured to increase the number of stem cells, and returned to the body through intravenous infusion.
This is a cutting-edge medical technology applied to anti-aging treatments for arteriosclerosis and other diseases.
Because autologous stem cells are used, the risk of rejection and allergies is extremely low.
What is the “homing effect” of stem cells?
One of the major roles of stem cells is to replace new cells lost due to disease or injury.
To this end, stem cells have a ” homing effect,” a property whereby they are guided by signals to a specific site of interest.
The signal is sent from the site of disease or injury, and the stem cells receive the signal and gather at that site.
This is exactly what happens when stem cells target ( i.e., homing in on) and repair the injured area.
Contributes to improvement of age-related arteriosclerosis and vascular disorders
As atherosclerosis progresses, arteries become thinner, lose elasticity, and become hard and brittle. As atherosclerosis progresses, “plaque,” a lipid mass, forms on the inside of blood vessels, narrowing them and slowing blood flow. When the plaque peels off, it clogs the blood vessels and causes cerebral or myocardial infarction.
Stem cells can repair vessel walls damaged by atherosclerosis and create new blood vessels. In addition, due to the aforementioned ” homing effect,” when stem cells arrive at the damaged area of blood vessels, they secrete their own cytokines to suppress inflammation and stimulate surrounding cells to promote repair. They also differentiate into endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and other cells that make up blood vessels, contributing to the regeneration of new blood vessels. Stem cell therapy is expected to be an effective way to improve blockages in blood vessels caused by atherosclerosis and to prevent and treat ischemic diseases of the heart, legs, and brain.

treatment process
Counseling/Examination
A consultation with a specialist physician will carefully listen to the patient’s symptoms and wishes.
Blood and urine tests are required to determine if stem cells can be cultured.
Adipose tissue collection and culture
Under local anesthesia, a small incision is made and a small amount of fatty tissue is extracted.
Stem cells are isolated from incised adipose tissue and cultured.
Stem Cell Injection
Stem cells are returned to the body using an intravenous infusion to promote tissue regeneration and repair. The treatment takes about one hour.

Patients who meet the following conditions are not eligible for autologous adipose cell-derived stem cell therapy
- Persons with severe infections
- Persons with serious heart disease
- Those with malignant tumors
- Those with immunodeficiency
- Pregnant or nursing
side effect
The following side effects may occur with autologous adipocyte-derived stem cell therapy
Pain and swelling in the fat harvesting area
Temporary pain and swelling may occur, but will improve within a few days.
Inflammation of the injection site
Inflammation may occur in rare cases but improves with appropriate treatment.
Risk of infection
Although infection may occur at the surgical site, thorough hygiene minimizes the risk.
allergic reaction
Although extremely rare, allergic reactions to the drugs used in treatment may occur
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there pain during cell collection or injection?
Local anesthesia is administered at the time of fat tissue harvesting, so there is almost no pain. Similarly, pain is minimal during stem cell injection.
How long will the swelling and pain last during adipose tissue cell harvesting?
Usually, there is swelling and pain at the site of extraction for a few days, but this does not interfere with daily life.
*The duration of swelling and pain and the degree of swelling may vary from person to person.
How long does it take for the effects of treatment to appear?
The effects are often realized in a few weeks to a few months. Long-lasting results can be expected, and regular treatment is expected to further prolong the effects.
What is the recommended number of treatments and frequency?
Generally, the ideal frequency is about four times a year, but the frequency depends on the patient’s condition and goals. The best plan will be discussed with the doctor during the initial consultation.
