The Revolution of Regenerative Medicine:

Dr. Laurence explains the concept of point of care (POC) procedures. Using a fat removal (lipo-aspiration) technique that Dr. Laurence has used for a decade, fatty tissue is painlessly harvested from a fatty area of the body and is separated in a closed system. Using either an enzymatic, energy, or mechanical technique, the fat cells are separated from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). The SVF is then deployed in the most appropriate manner for tissue repair. This procedure is available worldwide, and patients are traveling from the U.S. to Europe, South America, China, and Mexico, paying up to a 500% premium for this procedure. This cost difference contrasts with other medical tourism procedures, where travel has traditionally been associated with deep discounts.
