What is tissue regeneration and how does cellular therapy work?
Tissue regeneration is the process through which the functionality of cells and tissues that have experienced a decline in performance due to aging, the passage of time, or injury is restored.
When tissue damage occurs, the body can follow two different paths:
1. Regenerate the affected tissues
2. Or replace them with scar tissue.
Regenerative therapies aim to support the body's natural repair mechanisms, helping preserve and improve tissue function in order to optimize recovery capacity.

Areas of application: Who is our cellular regenerative therapy intended for?
Cellular regenerative therapy is indicated both for individuals who wish to promote longevity and the proper functioning of their tissues, as well as for patients with injuries or degenerative conditions that affect their quality of life.
Its main objectives are:
1. Improve cellular function
2. Reduce inflammatory processes
3. Enhance the body's natural regenerative mechanisms
Cartilage and Joint Regeneration (Knee and Osteoarthritis)
In joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, cellular components obtained from adipose tissue may help improve the condition of existing tissues.
Although the goal is not to fully regenerate lost cartilage, it is possible to improve the biological conditions of the joint environment by reducing inflammation, enhancing vascularization, and promoting a greater repair capacity. This can lead to a reduction in symptoms and improved joint function.
Regenerative Gynecology and Ovarian Rejuvenation
Regenerative therapy is also applied in the field of regenerative gynecology and ovarian rejuvenation.
Through the action of bioactive molecules, the aim is to stimulate ovarian activity and support reproductive function in women experiencing a natural age-related decline in fertility. In addition, this approach may help improve hormonal balance in a physiological way, without necessarily relying on external hormone treatments.
Hair Regeneration and Hair Follicle Health
In cases of androgenetic alopecia, improved vascularization and stimulation of the regenerative processes of the hair follicle may help preserve its functionality.
The treatment aims to enhance the biological environment of the follicle, helping it maintain its adaptive capacity in the face of changes associated with aging and certain hormonal factors.
Sports Medicine and Musculotendinous Injuries
Muscle and tendon injuries resulting from sports activities have a naturally high recovery potential.
Cellular activation regenerative therapy can act as an additional stimulus to accelerate repair processes, helping tissues regain functionality sooner and facilitating a faster return to physical activity.
Facial Rejuvenation and Skin Regeneration
The skin is constantly renewing itself. By stimulating the processes involved in collagen and elastin production, regenerative cellular therapy helps improve skin quality.
As a result, the skin may show improved hydration, elasticity, and firmness, helping to soften visible signs of aging and providing a more rejuvenated appearance.
How is tissue regeneration treatment performed at Clínica Planas?
Treatment begins with a personalized assessment to understand each patient's health status and specific needs.
Depending on the case, different strategies may be applied to optimize cellular function and promote tissue regeneration. When indicated, bioregenerative tissue is obtained through a mini-liposuction procedure. This tissue is then processed to extract the necessary components, which are subsequently applied to the treatment area.
This approach can be used in different therapeutic fields, such as:
1. Joint regeneration
2. Regenerative gynecology
3. Hair regeneration
4. Rejuvenation treatments
To achieve this, Clínica Planas uses Time Machine technology, a system designed to carry out the entire process in a closed and highly aseptic environment. Its objective is to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure the highest safety standards throughout the procedure.
Why choose tissue regeneration treatment at Clínica Planas?
The indication for tissue regeneration treatment always depends on a personalized medical evaluation.
Each patient has unique characteristics, needs, and goals. For this reason, the medical team analyzes every case individually to determine whether this treatment is the best option and to establish the most appropriate therapeutic strategy.
F.A.Q.
-
What exactly is vascular stroma and why do you use it?
Vascular stroma is a collection of different cell types naturally present in the body's tissues. Although it can be found in various tissues, adipose tissue is one of the most accessible and least invasive sources for obtaining it.
This cellular conglomerate includes, among other components:
1. Mesenchymal stem cells
2. Hematopoietic cells
3. Immune cells
4. Fibroblasts and adipocytes, which participate in the body's natural repair and regeneration processes.
Once obtained and processed using the technology available at Clínica Planas, it is applied locally to the area requiring treatment in accordance with current homologous tissue-to-tissue regulations. -
How long does it take to see results?
The time required to notice results can vary considerably from one person to another. Factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle, and overall health status directly influence the speed and effectiveness of regenerative processes. Depending on these variables, results may begin to appear within the first few weeks or several months after treatment.
-
How often should I repeat the treatment?
There is no universal protocol applicable to all patients. The need to repeat the treatment depends primarily on individual progress and the response achieved. While some individuals may benefit from additional applications after one year, others may maintain their results for several years without needing to repeat the procedure.
-
Is this the same as stem cell therapy?
No. Cellular therapy based on vascular stroma and stem cell therapy are different procedures. Stem cell therapies require specific laboratory processes to isolate, culture, and expand certain cell populations. In contrast, the cellular treatment described here uses processed tissue without substantial manipulation or cell culture, preserving the original biological characteristics of the harvested tissue.
-
What role does lifestyle play in treatment outcomes?
Lifestyle plays a fundamental role in the effectiveness of regenerative processes. Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress appropriately help optimize cellular regeneration, promote better clinical outcomes, and prolong the benefits achieved through treatment.
