A Supportive, Regenerative Approach
Regenerative Tissue Repair
Joint degeneration, chronic pain, and soft tissue injuries progressively worsen when left to conventional management alone. Anti-inflammatory medications mask symptoms without repairing damaged cartilage, tendons, or ligaments. Physical therapy strengthens surrounding muscles but cannot regenerate lost tissue. Over time, patients face increasing pain, reduced mobility, and the prospect of invasive surgical intervention — often with lengthy recovery periods and uncertain long-term outcomes.
Stem cell therapy at RegalMed Clinic uses your body's own regenerative cells to support tissue health. These undifferentiated cells may help support repair processes in tissues such as cartilage, bone, muscle, and connective tissue, and may release growth factors that help modulate inflammation. Dr. Sherry Farag uses advanced techniques to deliver concentrated stem cells to targeted areas, with the goal of supporting—not replacing—your body's natural healing processes. Outcomes vary by individual and cannot be guaranteed.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Regenerative Cell Science
Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medical treatment that uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to develop into multiple tissue types — to repair damaged joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. These cells are harvested from carefully screened and processed sources, then concentrated and delivered to the injury site under physician guidance.
Once administered, stem cells migrate to areas of damage where they differentiate into the specific cell types needed for repair. They also release powerful paracrine factors — growth factors, cytokines, and anti-inflammatory molecules — that recruit additional repair cells, reduce chronic inflammation, and create an optimal environment for tissue regeneration. Published research in Stem Cells Translational Medicine confirms that MSC-based therapies demonstrate significant potential for musculoskeletal repair and pain reduction.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Stem Cell Therapy?
Candidacy Assessment
Stem cell therapy is suitable for patients seeking a regenerative, non-surgical approach to tissue repair and pain management. Dr. Farag evaluates each patient's health status, injury severity, and treatment goals to determine optimal candidacy.
Ideal Candidates for Stem Cell Therapy
- Adults with chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis or degenerative conditions
- Patients with tendon, ligament, or soft tissue injuries that haven't responded to conservative care
- Individuals experiencing hair loss who want a regenerative approach
- Those looking to avoid or delay joint replacement surgery
- Patients in good general health with realistic expectations for gradual improvement
Who Should Wait or Avoid Stem Cell Therapy
- Patients with active infections, sepsis, or fever
- Women who are pregnant or nursing
- Individuals with active malignancies or undergoing cancer treatment
- Patients with severe blood clotting disorders
- Those with uncontrolled systemic diseases such as unmanaged diabetes
Dr. Farag conducts a thorough clinical evaluation and may order diagnostic imaging or lab work to confirm that stem cell therapy is the safest and most effective approach for your condition.
Stem Cell Therapy Treatment Overview
Preparation
Dr. Farag prepares the treatment area with sterile technique and local anesthesia for optimal comfort.
Injection
Using image-guided precision, Dr. Farag delivers concentrated stem cells directly into the targeted joint or tissue.
Recovery Plan
You receive a personalized aftercare protocol with activity modifications and follow-up scheduling.
Side Effects & Safety
What to Know
Stem cell therapy is generally well-tolerated, with side effects that are typically mild and self-limiting. Dr. Farag follows strict safety protocols to minimize risk and optimize outcomes.
Common side effects include soreness, swelling, or stiffness at the injection site for 2-5 days post-treatment. Some patients experience mild bruising, which resolves within one week.
Less common effects may include temporary increased pain at the treatment site as the healing response initiates, mild fatigue for 24-48 hours, or localized warmth and redness.

Stem Cell Therapy FAQ
Your Questions Answered
01 Where do the stem cells come from?
Regal Med Clinic uses mesenchymal stem cells from carefully screened and processed donor tissue sources. All preparations undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure safety, viability, and potency before administration.
02 How long does it take to see results from stem cell therapy?
Most patients notice initial improvement within 4-6 weeks, with continued healing and pain reduction over 3-6 months. Joint repair is a gradual process as new tissue forms and strengthens over time.
03 Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved?
While certain stem cell applications are FDA-regulated, many regenerative uses are performed under the practice of medicine. Dr. Farag follows all current regulatory guidelines and uses only compliant preparations.
04 How many treatments will I need?
Many patients achieve significant improvement with a single treatment. Depending on the severity of your condition, Dr. Farag may recommend a second session 3-6 months after the initial treatment.
05 Can stem cell therapy replace joint surgery?
For many patients with mild to moderate joint degeneration, stem cell therapy can delay or eliminate the need for surgical intervention. Dr. Farag evaluates each case individually to determine the best approach.
06 What is the difference between stem cell and exosome therapy?
Stem cell therapy uses live, undifferentiated cells that can transform into new tissue types, while exosome therapy uses cell-free vesicles that carry regenerative signaling molecules. Both are effective, and Dr. Farag may recommend one or a combination based on your needs.
