Most of my patients report feeling mild pressure during the injection that is controlled with local anesthesia and some soreness in the areas treated for up to 5 to 7 days after the procedure that does not require pain medication.

Is Stem Cell Therapy Approved by FDA?

FDA does not regulate medical procedures performed by qualified and licensed doctors. We have the only clinically proven procedure to treat Erectile Dysfunction with adult stem cells in the US. We ONLY use your own adult stem cells (not Embryonic stem cells) and we don’t alter, manipulate or store your stem cells. Therefore FDA does not object to these procedures.

Does insurance cover these procedures?
