Standalone · Add-on to any protocol
What Muse adds
Muse cells can be added to most protocols on this page, or given on their own by IV.
Muse cells are a rare pluripotent subset of mesenchymal stem cells, selected by SSEA-3 sorting. Given by IV, they migrate to injured tissue in response to its stress signals. Given by direct injection, they reinforce one joint or region. Published human Muse-cell trials have reported no tumor formation. Your physician recommends the pairing after reviewing your case.

Questions about treatments?
How do I book a consultation?
Submit the consultation form with your imaging and history. Our concierge confirms a time within one business day. The consult itself is complimentary and conducted by a board certified physician.
What conditions are best treated with stem cells?
Joint and orthopedic indications (knee, hip, shoulder, spine, small joints), autoimmune and metabolic conditions, neurological cases, and longevity protocols. A physician confirms candidacy after reviewing your imaging and labs. We turn down candidates where joint replacement or another option will serve them better.
What does treatment cost?
Single joint UC MSC protocols typically begin in the mid five figure range. High dose IV and multi joint packages are quoted on the consult call once your physician confirms the plan. We provide an itemized quote before anything is scheduled. Clear, upfront pricing.
How long does a treatment visit take?
Joint injections take 20 to 40 minutes under ultrasound guidance with local anesthetic. IV protocols are a 60 to 90 minute infusion in a private suite. You walk out the same day. Most patients fly home the day after treatment.
Is the procedure painful?
For most patients, far less than expected. Joint injections use local anesthetic and are described as comparable to a standard intra articular injection. Mild post procedure soreness for 48 to 72 hours is common and resolves on its own with acetaminophen.
How quickly will I feel results?
Most patients report initial changes within 4 to 6 weeks and meaningful improvement at 3 to 6 months. Outcomes vary by indication, severity, and protocol. Aftercare check ins at 2, 6, and 12 weeks track progress objectively.
How is the dose decided?
Priced by indication, severity, imaging, and patient size. UC MSC doses are calculated per patient from body weight, height, and indication, as required under COFEPRIS regulation, and scale from a standard joint dose to high dose systemic protocols. Your physician documents the rationale on your protocol sheet.
Will I need follow up treatments?
Most patients see meaningful improvement from a single visit. Some indications, like chronic autoimmune or advanced OA, benefit from a booster at 9 to 12 months. Your physician shares the expected trajectory during your consultation, up front.
Can I combine protocols in one visit?
Yes. Multi joint and articular plus systemic combinations are common and often more efficient. See our multi joint packages for typical pairings. Custom combinations are quoted on consult.
Are results guaranteed?
No legitimate regenerative practice will guarantee outcomes. We share aggregate response rates honestly. We will tell you if your case is unlikely to respond before you book. Honest "no" answers are how the "yes" earns its weight.
What's included in the price?
Physician consultation, cell preparation, in clinic procedure, recovery suite, and structured follow up at 2, 6, and 12 weeks. Travel and lodging are arranged separately by our concierge at preferred rates.
What aftercare do you provide?
Structured check ins at 2, 6, and 12 weeks, then 6 and 12 months. Your case manager remains reachable around the clock for the full two year follow up window. Discharge summary and protocol record are sent home with you and coordinated with your local physician where ongoing care is needed.
