The flagship programme

Regenerative Medicine

Therapies planned around one idea: the body already knows how to renew itself.

Artist’s rendering

The approach

Medicine that accompanies a natural process.

Regenerative medicine works with material the body already uses to repair itself: cells, plasma, and the signals that pass between them.

At Ponce de León, these therapies will be prepared and given by physicians, in a clinical setting, as part of a stay designed for rest.

Each plan will begin with a remote consultation before travel. A physician will decide with each guest whether a therapy is suitable.

Planned therapies

What the programme will offer.

Guests will typically follow one therapy, or a small combination, chosen with their physician.

  • Stem cell therapy

    Mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly.

    Wharton’s Jelly is the connective tissue of the umbilical cord. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from it will sit at the centre of the programme.

  • Platelet-rich plasma

    PRP, delivered with image guidance.

    Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of a guest’s own blood. It will be delivered by a physician using image guidance.

  • Exosome-based therapies

    Therapies based on the signals cells send one another.

    Exosomes are small vesicles that cells release to communicate. Exosome-based therapies will be offered alongside the cell and plasma treatments.

  • Joint and tendon treatments

    Shoulder and other joints.

    Shoulder treatments will be planned in two forms, within the joint and within the tendon. Other joints will be assessed individually.

  • Spine treatments

    Facet and epidural injections.

    Facet and epidural injections will be planned segment by segment, with each plan set by the treating physician.

  • Supporting therapies

    Hyperbaric oxygen and cryotherapy.

    Hyperbaric oxygen sessions and cryotherapy will be available as part of a stay, in support of the main therapies.

  • Support for surgical recovery

    For guests of the aesthetic programme.

    Guests of the aesthetic surgery programme will be able to include regenerative therapies in their recovery plan, on their physician’s recommendation.
