At Regenerative Medicine LA, Dr. Mark Ghalili provides physician-led consultations for patients interested in learning whether an autologous regenerative cell procedure may be appropriate for them.
Autologous means the cellular material comes from your own body and is used only for you. We do not use donor stem cells for this procedure, and we do not transfer cells from one patient to another.
Every patient is evaluated individually. No procedure is recommended without a physician consultation, medical review, informed consent, and a discussion of realistic expectations.
Regenerative Medicine LA focuses on individualized medical evaluation and patient-specific care.
During your consultation, Dr. Ghalili reviews your health history, prior records when available, current medications, allergies, safety considerations, and personal goals. The purpose of the consultation is to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate and whether any procedure should be considered.
We do not represent autologous cellular procedures as a cure, guaranteed outcome, or FDA-approved treatment for any disease or disorder.
This page is for general education only.
Regenerative Medicine LA does not claim that autologous regenerative cell procedures diagnose, treat, cure, reverse, or prevent any specific disease or disorder.
Results vary by patient. Some patients may not be candidates. A consultation is required before any recommendation can be made.
Each patient is evaluated by a licensed physician before any procedure is considered.
The review may include:
No procedure is performed automatically. Each case requires physician review and patient-specific documentation.
Your first visit is focused on determining whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Dr. Ghalili will review your history, answer your questions, discuss potential risks, and explain what is known and not known about the procedure. You will also receive a clear explanation of alternatives, limitations, and expected follow-up.
A procedure is only considered when Dr. Ghalili determines that it is clinically appropriate for the individual patient.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. These may include soreness, bruising, swelling, bleeding, infection, irritation, temporary discomfort, or other complications.
Before any procedure, patients are provided informed consent and are given the opportunity to ask questions. Patients are also told that outcomes are not guaranteed and that additional care may be needed depending on the individual situation.
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Ghalili.
At Regenerative Medicine LA, every patient is evaluated individually. Our goal is to provide honest guidance, clear expectations, and physician-led care.

No. Eligibility depends on your medical history, current health status, safety considerations, and physician evaluation. Some patients are not appropriate candidates.
Cost depends on the consultation, evaluation, and whether any procedure is recommended. Pricing is reviewed with the patient before any procedure is scheduled.
When appropriate, cellular material is collected from the patient, prepared in a controlled setting, and used only for that same patient. The specific details are reviewed during the consultation and consent process.
No. Results vary by patient, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Downtime varies depending on the individual patient and the type of procedure performed. Patients receive instructions before and after the visit.
A consultation is required because this is a physician-directed process. Dr. Ghalili must review your history, risks, goals, and available information before determining whether any procedure is appropriate.
All your questions about stem cell therapy answered.
Stem cell therapy can range in price depending on the condition being addressed and the type of procedure recommended. Typically, harvesting adipose tissue and preparing your stem cells through a physician-led process may cost under $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and treatment plan.
The adult stem cells used for your therapy come from your own body. Fat tissue is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells. Dr. Ghalili can remove a small sample of your fat, process it in the office to prepare mesenchymal stem cells, then use those cells for your injection.
Stem cell therapy is frequently considered for musculoskeletal concerns, such as cartilage damage; muscle, ligament, and tendon tears; and inflammatory joint conditions like arthritis and bursitis.
Facial Rejuvenation using stem cells may help support healthier-looking skin and overall skin quality. Many studies are also evaluating the potential role of stem cell therapy for conditions such as fibromyalgia, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, inflammatory bowel disease, complex regional pain syndrome, and chronic pelvic pain.
Stem cell therapy is not a pharmaceutical drug, and no provider should claim that stem cells are guaranteed to work or produce a specific medical outcome. Results vary from patient to patient depending on the condition, severity, overall health, and treatment plan.
Clinical experience and ongoing research continue to evaluate how stem cell therapy may support patients with orthopedic concerns, inflammatory conditions, and other complex health issues. Some patients report improvements in symptoms, comfort, mobility, or overall function, but individual outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Stem cell therapy using your own adipose-derived cells is generally considered well tolerated when performed by an experienced physician under proper medical protocols. Because the cells come from your own body, the risk of rejection is typically low compared to donor-derived cell products.
At Regenerative Medicine LA, the cells are processed in a controlled medical setting and passed through multiple micron filters before being prepared for use. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including soreness, swelling, infection, bleeding, or irritation at the treatment site. Serious complications are uncommon when the procedure is performed appropriately, but they are still possible.
Donor-derived products, including umbilical cord-derived cell products, may carry different considerations because they do not come from the patient’s own body. This is why proper screening, sourcing, handling, and medical oversight are essential when evaluating any type of regenerative therapy.
Stem cell therapy is not appropriate for every patient or every area of the body. Certain uses may carry higher risks depending on anatomy, medical history, and the treatment site. A careful consultation is necessary to determine whether this approach may be safe and appropriate for your specific condition.
Stem cell therapy may be available in the United States when performed under appropriate medical oversight and in accordance with applicable regulations. At Regenerative Medicine LA, protocols are designed to align with relevant safety standards, medical guidelines, and oversight requirements.
Because regulations around stem cell therapy can vary depending on the cell source, processing method, and intended use, patients should discuss the details of their specific treatment plan during consultation.
Stem cells may be collected from a patient’s adipose tissue, commonly from the flank or “love handle” area. This allows Dr. Ghalili to use your own cells as part of a same-day regenerative procedure.
The area is numbed with topical anesthetic and lidocaine while you remain awake. Once the area is numb, a small amount of fat tissue is collected, typically around 50cc or less than 2 ounces.
From there, the sample is processed in-office to help separate and concentrate the stem cells and regenerative components from the remaining fat and blood. This is done through a careful, physician-led process designed to follow applicable safety and oversight standards.
Once prepared, the concentrated cells may be reintroduced back into your body the same day, depending on your treatment plan and the area being addressed.
Stem cell therapy may provide longer-lasting support for comfort, mobility, or function in some patients, but results are not guaranteed and may not be permanent. The longevity of potential benefits can vary based on the individual’s condition, the type of therapy used, overall health, and the body’s response to treatment.
While some patients report meaningful and sustained improvement, others may need follow-up care or additional treatments to help maintain their results.
To qualify for stem cell therapy, a thorough evaluation by a qualified specialist is necessary. This typically involves a review of your medical history, current health status, imaging when appropriate, and the specific condition being addressed.
Stem cell therapy may be considered for individuals with chronic or degenerative concerns that have not responded well to conventional treatments. Your eligibility will depend on factors such as the nature of your condition, severity of symptoms, overall health, and whether this approach may be appropriate for your goals.
Not everyone is a candidate for stem cell therapy. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as active infections, severe uncontrolled autoimmune disease, or active or advanced cancer, may not be suitable for treatment.
Additionally, patients with specific contraindications or poor overall health may be advised against undergoing stem cell therapy. A comprehensive evaluation by a specialist will help determine whether stem cell therapy may be appropriate for you.
Stem cells do not typically provide immediate results. The body’s response to stem cell therapy can take time as the cells may help support natural repair and regenerative processes.
Some patients begin to notice changes within a few weeks to months after treatment, depending on the condition being addressed, overall health, and individual response to therapy. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
The effects of stem cell injections can vary widely among patients. Potential benefits may last for several months to years, depending on the condition being addressed, the individual’s overall health, and the body’s response to treatment.
Follow-up treatments may be recommended in some cases to help support or maintain results over time. Regular assessments with your healthcare provider can help determine how your body is responding and whether additional care may be appropriate.
