1. What conditions can be treated with stem cell therapy at PCT Panama?

At PCT Panama, we offer stem cell therapy for a wide range of conditions, including neurological disorders (such as Autism, Parkinson's, and Multiple Sclerosis), autoimmune diseases (such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's disease), cardiovascular conditions (like Cardiomyopathy and Congestive Heart Failure), pulmonary diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, and back and spine issues like Degenerative Disc Disease.

2. How does stem cell therapy work?

Stem cells are unique in their ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissues. By targeting areas of inflammation, injury, or degeneration, stem cells help to repair and replace cells that are no longer functioning properly. This regenerative process helps improve symptoms, slow disease progression, and, in some cases, restore normal tissue function.

3. What types of stem cells are used in PCT Panama’s treatments?

At PCT Panama, we primarily use adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from healthy adult donors or the patient's own fat tissue. These MSCs have shown superior regenerative capabilities and are safe for treating various conditions. We also offer options to use stem cells from young, healthy donors for specific treatments.

4. Is stem cell therapy safe?

Yes, stem cell therapy is generally considered safe, particularly when using autologous stem cells (those derived from the patient’s own body) or carefully screened donor cells. At PCT Panama, we follow strict safety protocols and monitor patients throughout the treatment process to ensure the highest level of care and minimize risks.

5. How long does it take to see results from stem cell therapy?

The timeframe for results can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s unique response to the therapy. Some patients experience improvements within weeks, while others may take a few months to notice significant changes. Stem cells work by gradually promoting healing and regeneration, so results are typically seen over time.

6. How many stem cell treatments are necessary?

The number of treatments needed depends on the patient's condition, severity of symptoms, and how well they respond to the initial therapy. Some patients may require only one session, while others might benefit from additional treatments over time. At PCT Panama, we develop personalized treatment plans to suit each individual’s needs.

7. What are the potential side effects of stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, or mild pain at the injection site. Rarely, there may be immune responses or other minor reactions. However, these risks are minimal, and our team closely monitors patients during and after the procedure.

8. Who is an ideal candidate for stem cell therapy?

Ideal candidates for stem cell therapy are individuals with chronic conditions or injuries that have not responded to traditional treatments. Conditions like osteoarthritis, autoimmune diseases, and neurological disorders may benefit significantly from stem cell therapy. A thorough evaluation by our medical team will determine if stem cell therapy is right for you.

9. How is stem cell therapy administered?

Stem cell therapy can be administered in different ways, depending on the condition being treated. Common methods include intravenous (IV) infusion, direct injection into the affected area (such as a joint or damaged tissue), or lumbar puncture for neurological treatments. Our specialists will determine the best delivery method for each patient.

10. How long is the recovery process after stem cell therapy?

Recovery after stem cell therapy is usually quick and requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal recovery, but in most cases, the procedure does not involve extended recovery periods.

11. What sets PCT Panama apart from other stem cell therapy providers?
