REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Based on Components of Stem Cell Culture Fluid
BMS Stem Cell Culture Supernatant
This treatment uses the supernatant obtained while stem cells are being cultured. It does not involve administering the stem cells themselves. We check the product used and its purpose, and explain it at your examination.
Self-pay / Suitability is assessed at your examination
01 ABOUT
What does the treatment involve?
Stem cell culture supernatant is the liquid obtained by removing the cells and other material from the fluid in which the cells were cultured. It contains substances secreted by the cells, but its components and quality vary with the source of the cells and the manufacturing and processing methods.
How It Differs from Stem Cell Administration
Using culture supernatant is not the same as administering living stem cells.
How It Differs from Exosomes
Culture supernatant needs to be distinguished from products in which exosomes have been isolated and purified.

Effects and Suitability
This treatment is not suitable for everyone, and its effects vary from person to person. It does not guarantee that your symptoms will improve or that you can avoid other treatment or surgery.
Risks
Some aspects of its components, quality, effects and safety are not yet understood. Check the risks of each product and method of administration, including allergic reactions and infection.
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) issued a notice on July 31, 2024, about medical care that uses stem cell culture supernatant, exosomes and similar substances. It stated that, at that time, no medicinal product of this kind had been shown to be effective and safe and received regulatory approval in Japan. The current approval status of the product used, and its place in clinical practice, need to be confirmed with the clinic.
