Important information about stem cell therapy treatments, risks, and regulatory status. Please read carefully before considering treatment.

Last updated: January 2025

Important Medical Notice

The information provided on this website and the stem cell therapy treatments offered by Elicells are for educational and informational purposes only and are not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment options.

1. Experimental and Investigational Nature

Stem Cell Therapy Status

  • Stem cell therapy is considered experimental and investigational for most conditions
  • Many stem cell treatments are not approved by regulatory agencies including the FDA, EMA, or COFEPRIS for specific medical conditions
  • Scientific evidence supporting efficacy may be limited or preliminary
  • Long-term effects and safety profiles are still being studied
  • Results from clinical trials may not reflect real-world outcomes

While stem cell research shows promise for various medical conditions, it is important to understand that these treatments are not established standard medical care for most conditions we treat.

2. No Guarantees of Results

Treatment Outcomes

We cannot and do not guarantee any specific results or outcomes from our stem cell therapy treatments. Individual responses to treatment vary significantly based on:

  • Age and overall health status
  • Severity and duration of the medical condition
  • Individual biological factors and genetics
  • Lifestyle factors and adherence to post-treatment care
  • Concurrent medications and medical treatments
  • Psychological and emotional factors

Some patients may experience significant improvement, others may see modest benefits, and some may experience no improvement at all. It is also possible that your condition may worsen despite treatment.

3. Risks and Potential Side Effects

Like all medical procedures, stem cell therapy carries inherent risks and potential side effects, including but not limited to:

Immediate Risks

  • Infection at injection site
  • Bleeding or bruising
  • Pain or swelling
  • Allergic reactions
  • Nerve damage
  • Blood vessel injury

Long-term Risks

  • Tumor formation (theoretical risk)
  • Immune system reactions
  • Unintended tissue growth
  • Unknown long-term effects
  • Disease transmission (rare)
  • Worsening of existing conditions

Important: This is not a complete list of all possible risks. Your doctor will discuss specific risks related to your condition and treatment plan during your consultation.

4. Regulatory Status and Legal Framework

4.1 Mexican Regulations

Our treatments are conducted in Mexico under Mexican healthcare regulations and oversight. The regulatory framework for stem cell therapy in Mexico may differ from other countries.

4.2 FDA Status

Important Notice: The stem cell treatments offered by Elicells are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the conditions we treat. The FDA has approved very few stem cell therapies for specific conditions.

4.3 International Recognition

Patients should be aware that treatments received at our facility may not be recognized or covered by insurance providers in their home countries.

5. Patient Responsibilities

As a patient considering stem cell therapy, you have important responsibilities:

  • Informed Consent: Carefully review and understand all consent forms before signing
  • Medical History: Provide complete and accurate medical history information
  • Current Medications: Disclose all medications, supplements, and treatments you are receiving
  • Follow Instructions: Adhere to all pre and post-treatment instructions
  • Realistic Expectations: Maintain realistic expectations about treatment outcomes
  • Follow-up Care: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
  • Report Changes: Immediately report any adverse effects or changes in your condition

6. Alternative Treatment Options

Before choosing stem cell therapy, patients should consider and discuss with their physician all available treatment options, including:

  • Conventional medical treatments and medications
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Surgical interventions
  • Lifestyle modifications and conservative care
  • Other investigational or experimental treatments
  • Palliative care options

Your decision to undergo stem cell therapy should be made only after careful consideration of all alternatives and thorough discussion with your healthcare provider.

7. Research and Scientific Evidence

While stem cell research is rapidly advancing, patients should understand:

  • Many studies are in preclinical or early clinical phases
  • Results from laboratory studies may not translate to human outcomes
  • Small study sizes may limit the reliability of findings
  • Publication bias may favor positive results
  • Long-term follow-up data may be limited

Stay Informed: We encourage patients to research current scientific literature and discuss findings with qualified healthcare professionals before making treatment decisions.

8. Financial Considerations

Important financial considerations include:

  • Stem cell treatments are typically not covered by health insurance
  • Treatment costs may be substantial and require upfront payment
  • Additional costs may include travel, accommodation, and follow-up care
  • Additional treatments may be recommended, resulting in additional costs
  • Refund policies may be limited (see Terms of Service)

9. Emergency and Urgent Care

In Case of Medical Emergency:

If you experience a medical emergency after treatment, immediately contact local emergency services (911 in the US, 066 in Mexico) or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not wait to contact our clinic in emergency situations.
