The success rate of stem cell therapy varies based on several key factors: the condition being treated, the source and quality of the stem cells used, the patient’s overall health, and the expertise of the clinic administering the treatment. At Regenamex, we use only third-party tested mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly and placental tissue—some of the most potent and well-researched regenerative cells available today.

Many of our patients report significant improvements in pain relief, joint mobility, reduced inflammation, and overall vitality within the first few months of treatment. For chronic orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis or spinal degeneration, success rates are especially high when stem cells are administered before structural damage becomes irreversible. While no treatment is guaranteed to work for every individual, stem cell therapy at Regenamex has delivered consistent results in thousands of real-world cases.

Most patients begin to feel improvements within 2 to 8 weeks after treatment, though full regenerative effects may take 3 to 6 months to manifest, depending on the individual and the condition being treated. In the early weeks, patients often notice a reduction in inflammation-related symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and fatigue. This is because MSCs quickly start modulating the immune response and calming inflammatory cytokines.

Tissue repair and regeneration take more time. For instance, in cartilage repair or nerve damage cases, the process involves gradual restoration at the cellular level. That’s why our medical team at Regenamex provides ongoing support and follow-up to track your progress and recommend any necessary additional rounds of treatment or complementary therapies such as IV nutrient support or PRP.

Not at all for most patients. The stem cell therapy process is minimally invasive and typically well tolerated. If you are receiving IV stem cell infusion, the process feels similar to a standard vitamin drip or hydration therapy—mild, relaxing, and pain-free. For local injections (such as into the knee, shoulder, or spine), a small amount of local anesthetic is used to numb the area beforehand. You may feel slight pressure or pinching, but most patients report only mild discomfort, comparable to a cortisone shot.

There’s no need for general anesthesia or hospitalization. You’ll be able to walk out of the clinic and resume most normal activities within the same day. At Regenamex, our facilities are designed for comfort and ease, and our medical team walks you through every step of the process to ensure you feel supported and confident.

In many cases, yes—that’s one of the biggest advantages of stem cell treatment. For patients with chronic joint degeneration, herniated discs, or soft tissue injuries, stem cell therapy has helped delay or even eliminate the need for surgeries such as knee replacement, spinal fusion, rotator cuff repair, or hip arthroplasty.

By reducing inflammation, repairing tissue, and supporting new cell growth, MSC therapy addresses the root causes of chronic pain and dysfunction—without the long recovery periods, scarring, or risks associated with surgery. This makes stem cell therapy an attractive option for those who want to maintain their mobility, avoid the use of opioids, and get back to daily life faster.

At Regenamex, many of our patients come to us specifically to avoid orthopedic surgery, and they often experience results that exceed their expectations.

Regenamex is not just another clinic offering stem cells—we are one of the most respected, ethical, and clinically focused regenerative medicine centers in Mexico. Here’s what sets us apart:

• We exclusively use mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s jelly and placental tissue—not from fat or bone marrow.

• All MSCs are sourced from GMP-certified biobanks and undergo third-party testing to ensure safety, sterility, and potency.

• Our team includes experienced, bilingual doctors trained in regenerative protocols and international standards of care.

• We offer transparent pricing, starting at just $2,500 USD, with no hidden costs or upselling.

• We personalize every treatment plan to the patient’s unique condition, history, and goals.

• We provide care in licensed medical facilities located in Puerto Vallarta and Tijuana, which are safe, clean, and designed for comfort.

Our commitment is not just to deliver stem cell therapy, but to ensure it is done responsibly, ethically, and effectively.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem cell therapy are both regenerative treatments—but they work in very different ways.

PRP is derived from your own blood. It’s rich in growth factors that help signal healing and stimulate cellular repair. However, PRP does not contain stem cells and does not have the ability to regenerate tissue on its own. It’s best used for mild injuries or in conjunction with other treatments.

Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells, are living cells that can differentiate into new tissue, modulate immune response, and orchestrate complex healing mechanisms in the body. They are powerful agents of repair, especially in chronic and degenerative conditions.

At Regenamex, we may recommend combining PRP and MSCs for enhanced healing in certain cases—especially for orthopedic or sports-related injuries.

Stem cell therapy with MSCs from birth tissue is considered very safe and low-risk, especially when administered in a clinical setting by trained professionals.

The most common side effects include:

• Mild fatigue or flu-like symptoms after IV infusion (usually resolves within 24 hours)

• Temporary swelling or tenderness at injection sites

• Rare but possible mild allergic reactions (although unlikely with MSCs)

There is no risk of rejection, since mesenchymal stem cells are immune-privileged. Additionally, there is no ethical controversy with the use of birth-tissue MSCs, as they are collected from donated placentas after healthy births with full donor consent.

Regenamex uses only clinical-grade, lab-verified MSCs that meet international quality control standards—ensuring your treatment is both effective and safe.

You may be a great candidate for stem cell therapy if you:

• Have been diagnosed with a chronic inflammatory or degenerative condition

• Suffer from joint pain, autoimmune disease, back pain, or long COVID symptoms

• Want to avoid surgery or reduce reliance on pain medications

• Are looking for a natural, science-backed approach to healing

• Are medically stable and can travel to Mexico for treatment
