At the offices of Dr. Christopher Calapai, located in Garden City and Plainview, NY, we offer stem cell therapy, a regenerative and restorative therapy that uses stem cells to help the body heal, repair, and recover. From helping diseases and degenerative conditions to restoring hair and rejuvenating the skin, these cells can naturally help patients achieve different, aging-related, health, cosmetic, and wellness goals through a simple and minimally invasive therapy process.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a well-researched topic, and our therapy involves using the cells found in your own bone marrow to repair damaged and degenerating tissue. During the process, we harvest each patient’s own stem cells from their bone marrow, prepare them into a specific form, and then re-administer them into the body to address and correct certain conditions.
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are body cells that can transform into other types of cells, including blood cells, bone cells, brain cells, and more. These cells are some of the most amazing in the human body. They are undifferentiated cells that don’t have a direct blueprint and can become any specialized cell in the body. These healthy cells can replace damaged or diseased cells through a regenerative therapy.
When harvested from the body, isolated, and then re-administered, they can turn into specific cells to heal and repair specific conditions. During our therapies, we use adult stem cells from the bone marrow to help patients achieve their specific goals.
What Are the Benefits of Undergoing This Therapy?
One of the benefits of stem cell therapy is that the entire therapy process is completely natural. You won’t have to worry about any type of adverse reaction post-therapy since the cells we harvest and re-administer come from your body, and you cannot be allergic to your own cells. Other therapy benefits include the following:
- It’s a quick and minimally invasive therapy
- You’ll experience natural and noticeable results
- There’s no significant downtime post-therapy
- You can expect long-lasting results
- We design customized therapy plans
- Therapies promote new tissue growth
- Therapies can increase collagen production
- Therapies can promote hair growth
- These cells can potentially cure diseases and accelerate healing after injuries
- You’ll experience the reduction of symptoms and healing from certain health conditions
A Patient-Centered Therapy You Can Trust
When you visit the offices of Dr. Christopher Calapai to undergo this therapy, you’ll be helped by Dr. Calapai, who takes a comprehensive approach to addressing health and wellness concerns, symptoms, and illnesses. He places a high emphasis on educating each patient, an essential aspect of the doctor-patient relationship.
His goal is to teach each patient as much as possible so they can walk away with more confidence about their health and the ability to make informed decisions. Dr. Calapai is the founder of the Stem Cell Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing stem cell research. Dr. Calapai believes there is more to the cause of illness, which is why we evaluate all the potential causes to attain the best possible results.
What Can It Help?
Stem cell therapy has become an effective therapy option for patients with diseases and health conditions. We can design therapy plans that promote optimal health and wellness, but we can also customize tailored plans to address specific symptoms, illnesses, and health conditions. Stem cells have been successfully used to help various conditions and diseases, including the following:
- Arthritis of the joints
- Alzheimer’s
- Dementia
- COPD
- Diabetes
- Emphysema
- Erectile dysfunction
- Heart decline
- Kidney decline
- Liver decline
- MS
- Macular degeneration
- Parkinson’s disease
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Stroke
Facial Rejuvenation
Not only can stem cells address injuries, health conditions, and diseases, but they can also promote facial rejuvenation. As you age, collagen production decreases, which negatively impacts your appearance. Lines, wrinkles, facial folds, and hollow areas replaced the youthful features that once defined the appearance. Stem cell therapy can reverse the aging process by replenishing fibroblast cells to help maintain a youthful appearance.
This process can make a significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, lines, loose skin, acne scars, aging spots, and other aging-related imperfections. There’s no risk of an adverse reaction post-therapy since all the stem cells come from the patient’s body. They can safely help patients of all ages who want to reverse the natural aging process.
Hair Restoration
Stem cell therapy is also an effective therapy option for patients looking for a hair restoration therapy that works. Unlike topical products that contain chemicals and harsh ingredients to promote hair growth, these cells can force the hair follicles to regrow thicker and healthier hair. Injecting these cells into the scalp can stimulate hair growth by healing damaged hair follicles or awakening dormant ones. The result is natural-looking hair and long-lasting results.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?
The stem cell therapy process is simple. When you come in for therapy, we’ll sterilize the skin over the iliac crest posterior aspect, an area of the pelvis, and then use drapes and gloves to extract 60cc of bone marrow from the area. The entire process only takes a few minutes. Once we extract the bone marrow, we’ll place it in a specialized device called a high-speed centrifuge, which will spin it for 30 minutes.
The centrifugation process separates the red blood cells from the plasma and stem cells. We then extract stem cells through the bottom of the vial and prepare them for re-administration into the body. We can inject them with a syringe and deliver them intravenously into the vein, through a nebulizer designed for the lung, and via nasal droplets. We’ll determine the best therapy method based on your exact needs.
Experience the Power of a Regenerative Therapy
If you’re tired of using pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or traditional therapies to address your health and wellness concerns, there is another solution. When you begin a customized stem cell therapy plan, you’ll invest in your current and future health, wellness, and well-being. We can give you more details about how this process works and how you can benefit from a therapy using the stem cells found in your body.
