Frequently Asked Questions

It uses biologic material — PRP, cellular treatments, peptides — to restart repair in tissue that has stopped healing on its own.

Most use your own cells or screened biologic material, which is why they are generally well tolerated. Every plan is physician-supervised, and we will tell you when you are not a good candidate.

Arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, soft-tissue damage, sports injuries, and joint pain that has not resolved with conservative care.

Expect weeks rather than days. The first fortnight can feel like nothing is happening, and the fuller benefit builds across several months.

PRP delivers concentrated platelets from your own blood. Cellular and exosome treatments act further upstream, on the signalling that drives repair — generally reserved for more involved damage.

Sometimes it postpones surgery, and occasionally it removes the need. It will not rebuild a joint already worn to bone, and we would rather say so than sell you a course that cannot work.

A regenerative medicine treatment that uses naturally occurring extracellular vesicles containing proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules that help support the body’s healing response.

Exosome therapy is cell-free. Rather than delivering living cells, it delivers the biological signals that encourage your body’s own cells to communicate and repair.

Candidacy is determined after a comprehensive consultation, imaging review, and physical examination.

Most patients experience only minimal discomfort during treatment, which is performed under ultrasound guidance.

Most treatments are completed in less than one hour.

Healing timelines vary depending on the condition treated and each patient’s individual response.

A regenerative medicine treatment that uses umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells selected for their regenerative signaling properties to support the body’s natural healing response.

Candidacy is determined after a comprehensive consultation, medical history review, physical examination, and imaging assessment.

No — it’s a minimally invasive treatment performed in the office using ultrasound guidance.

Most treatments are completed in less than one hour, allowing many patients to return to light activity quickly.

Recovery varies for every patient. Some begin noticing improvement within weeks; others see gradual progress over the following months.

The practice combines experienced physicians, advanced imaging technology, and personalized regenerative medicine treatment plans.

A regenerative medicine treatment that uses umbilical cord tissue rich in naturally occurring growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix proteins to support the body’s natural healing response.

Rather than replacing damaged tissue, Wharton’s Jelly provides biologically active components that help support healthy cell communication and tissue repair.

Your physician will determine whether Wharton’s Jelly Therapy is appropriate after reviewing your medical history, symptoms, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging.

No. Wharton’s Jelly Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment performed in the office using ultrasound guidance.

Most procedures are completed in less than one hour, allowing many patients to resume light activities shortly afterward.

Our physicians combine advanced regenerative medicine, ultrasound-guided precision, and personalized treatment planning to provide comprehensive orthopedic care tailored to every patient.

An acellular regenerative medicine treatment that combines Regenerative Protein Array™ technology with proteins extracted from MUSE cells to support the body’s natural healing response through protein signaling rather than living cells.

Traditional MUSE Cell Therapy uses living MUSE cells, while MUSE-Infused RPA Therapy uses an acellular protein fraction enhanced with proteins from MUSE cells.

Treatment may be provided through IV push or targeted injection as part of your personalized treatment plan.

Your physician will determine whether MUSE-Infused RPA Therapy is appropriate after reviewing your symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging.

Most regenerative medicine procedures are completed in under one hour, although treatment times vary depending on your individualized care plan.

Regenerative medicine therapies are generally self-pay services and are not covered by insurance or Medicare.

A regenerative medicine treatment using a live-cell preparation containing Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring (MUSE) cells, a rare subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Traditional MUSE Cell Therapy uses living MUSE cells, whereas some other regenerative therapies rely primarily on signaling molecules or acellular components.

Depending on your individualized treatment plan, therapy may be administered through IV push or targeted injection.

Your physician will determine candidacy after reviewing your medical history, physical examination, symptoms, and diagnostic imaging.

Most regenerative medicine procedures are completed in less than one hour, although timing varies depending on your personalized treatment plan.

No. It is a minimally invasive regenerative medicine treatment performed without traditional orthopedic surgery.

Most patients describe strong pulses over the treatment area — brief and well-tolerated, with no anesthesia needed and no downtime afterward.

Protocols vary by condition; many tendon and heel-pain protocols involve a short series of weekly sessions. Your specialist will map this out at your evaluation.

Minimal — most patients return to normal activity right away, with temporary soreness possible after shockwave sessions.

Yes — combination protocols are common and often produce synergistic results. Your plan will sequence therapies for the best outcome.

The one-way valves that keep blood moving upward stop sealing, so blood falls back and pools, stretching the vein. Family history, pregnancy, age and hours spent standing all raise the odds.

Medical treatment addresses symptoms and circulation, and insurance often covers it where symptoms justify it. Cosmetic work is about appearance and is elective. Many patients need some of both.

Not meaningfully. Local anaesthetic covers the procedure itself, and afterwards most people describe mild soreness rather than pain.

Most people walk out and carry on the same day. What you should avoid, and for how long, depends on which procedure you had.

Weakened vein valves and venous reflux cause blood pooling; risk factors include genetics, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and age.

Most procedures use local anesthesia or numbing techniques and involve minimal discomfort; post-procedure soreness is usually mild.

Patients often resume light activity the same day, with specific guidance based on the procedure performed.

Medical vein care — treating symptoms and circulation problems — is often covered; cosmetic treatment is usually elective. We verify your benefits before treatment.

Weakened vein valves and venous reflux cause blood pooling; risk factors include genetics, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and age.

Treated veins are closed permanently, but new veins can develop over time — structured follow-up and prevention strategies minimize recurrence.

Most procedures use local anesthesia or numbing techniques and involve minimal discomfort; post-procedure soreness is usually mild.

Patients often resume light activity the same day, with specific guidance based on the procedure performed.

Treated veins are closed permanently, but new veins can develop over time — structured follow-up and prevention strategies minimize recurrence.

Medical care treats symptoms and circulation problems and is often covered by insurance; cosmetic care improves appearance and is usually elective.

Peripheral neuropathy symptoms including burning or tingling, numbness, sharp or shooting pain, and weakness or instability.

Medications often mask symptoms. This program combines systemic IV support, regenerative injections, laser, ultrasound, and diagnostics to target the root cause of nerve damage.

If improved, monthly maintenance options are available. Partial improvement may warrant additional regenerative injections. A persistent focal nerve issue may be evaluated for a targeted nerve release procedure.

No referral is needed — book a consultation directly and our team will evaluate whether the program fits your situation.

Our physician-supervised solutions include compounded therapies and FDA-approved GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic® and Wegovy® (both semaglutide) and Zepbound® (tirzepatide) — prescribed only when appropriate for you.

Plans start at $239 per month; your exact program depends on the medication and monitoring plan your physician recommends.

GLP-1 therapy should always be prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical professional. Outcomes and treatment response differ from person to person — our physicians screen carefully and monitor you throughout.

Many patients notice appetite changes within the first two weeks and early weight loss over the first month; individual results vary.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Peptide therapy uses targeted, physician-prescribed protocols to support processes like tissue repair, inflammation control, sleep, and recovery.

Peptide programs start at $249 per month. Your exact protocol and cost are set at consultation based on your goals.

Yes. Every protocol is prescribed and monitored by our physicians, and compounds are sourced from licensed U.S. 503A/503B pharmacies.

Yes — peptide protocols are frequently paired with regenerative injections, shockwave or laser therapy, IV therapy, and rehabilitation. Our team coordinates the timing.

Candidacy depends on your medical history, medications, and goals. Some patients are not appropriate for peptide therapy, and our physicians will tell you honestly at consultation.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide your body already makes — it is present in plasma, saliva and urine. Published work examines what it does in tissue remodelling, wound repair and cellular regeneration.

We consider it where connective tissue is the bottleneck — repair that has stalled, collagen quality, tendon and joint health, remodelling after injury, or inflammation that will not settle.

MOTS-c is encoded in mitochondrial DNA and takes part in how cells regulate energy — most relevantly in muscle, where mitochondria do the bulk of the work.

Where the limiting factor is the tank rather than the injury — fatigue tracking with training load, endurance dropping off, or flat energy arriving with age.

Peptide programs start at $249 per month. Your exact protocol and cost are set at consultation based on your goals.

Yes. Every protocol is prescribed and monitored by our physicians, and compounds are sourced from licensed U.S. 503A/503B pharmacies.

Anyone who cannot spend six weeks in a referral queue, values privacy, or simply wants to deal with the surgeon directly rather than through a front desk.

Often, yes — where it is clinically appropriate. We will not compress something into one day if doing it properly takes two.

Concierge and bundled services are direct-pay at a quoted price. Plenty of what we do elsewhere in the practice does run through major insurance, and we will show you both routes before you choose.

Each bundle is built around a procedure or a recovery programme, with the inclusions written down and explained before you commit to anything.

Usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which formula you are having and the rate it runs at.

Yes. Nothing starts without a medical pre-screen, a clinician supervises the session, and every solution is sterile and pharmaceutical grade.

Plenty of people notice something the same afternoon. The metabolic and cellular effects build more slowly, over days and across repeat sessions.

Yes, and it usually is. We will sequence it around your rehabilitation or other treatment rather than running the two blind to each other.

It depends what you are after. Recovering from something acute may warrant a short run of sessions; maintenance is often monthly.

Uncommon, and minor when they happen — some bruising at the site, occasionally brief lightheadedness. You are monitored throughout.

Yes. There are protocols built for training blocks, for recovery after an operation, and for patients on an ongoing programme.

Yes. We work with most major insurance providers and will help verify your coverage before treatment.

For uninsured services we offer flexible payment plans and transparent direct-pay options so care remains accessible.

Concierge and direct-pay services are offered with clear, upfront bundled pricing for procedures and recovery programs — no billing surprises.

Medical vein care that treats symptoms and circulation problems is often covered; cosmetic vein care is usually elective. We verify benefits for you.
