Stem Cells

Stem cells can help heal your body from the inside out. At MyFitMed the skilled providers harness this power to treat chronic pain from an injury or disease. The team also uses stem cells to address common cosmetic issues that can age you. Through a series of minimally invasive injections, you can find long-term chronic pain relief, revitalized health, and/or enhanced dermal beauty. Find out if stem cell therapy is right for you by calling any of our locations in Dallas, Frisco, Southlake, or Heath, Texas, or by requesting an appointment online at any time.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are naturally occurring cells that are found in the body, and that can regenerate into any type of cell, including tissue cells, muscle cells, and even new bone. 

When undergoing stem cell therapy for aesthetic reasons or to relieve chronic pain, stem cells are injected into the problem area. These cells are known as mesenchymal stem cells.

The MyFitMed team uses pharmaceutical-grade stem cells for your stem cell therapy.

How are stem cells used in cosmetic treatments and pain management?

The goal of stem cell therapy for aesthetic purposes is to inject the cells into areas of the skin that have lost volume and vitality. As new cells grow in the weeks after treatment, your skin appears firmer, smoother, and younger-looking.

Injections also stimulate your body’s own ability to heal, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin – proteins that are essential for healthy skin.

Stem cell therapy can also address chronic pain that develops due to an injury or underlying health issue. Injecting stem cells into areas of soft tissue or bone damage can improve the efficiency and speed of your healing process. New tissue forms to replace what’s been damaged by disease or trauma.

Because stem cell therapy addresses the root cause of your pain and aesthetic flaws, you can expect your results to be long-term. As new cells continue to form, you can see a significant difference in the health of your skin and a reduction in the frequency and severity of your pain.

What can I expect during stem cell therapy?

As part of your stem cell therapy, your MyFitMed provider creates a customized treatment plan specific to your needs. They review the details of your plan prior to the injections so you know how to prepare and what to expect during your treatment. After the injections, you can expect to go home to relax for the rest of the day. Your provider can discuss if you need to limit any activities, but you can usually return to your normal routine the next day.

Depending on the reason for your stem cell treatment, you may need to schedule follow-up injections several weeks apart to get the maximum benefit of therapy. It takes time for your body to produce new tissue, but within 4-6 weeks of treatment, you should begin to notice an improvement in your skin health or a reduction of your pain.
