Dr. Charles Mok explains how autologous fat-derived stem cells can slow aging. Fat harvested via liposuction gets processed into nano-fat for joints, while leftover material goes to a lab for six weeks to extract and bank stem cells for future intravenous or whole-body applications. Potential uses include spinal cord injury, brain function, and autoimmune diseases.

There's people who want to go a little step further. They really want to slow down aging and they're intending to keep up with this. They also want to use tissues from their own body. They might even want to do other things like intravenous or whole body stem cells. Now we're looking at fat derived stem cells. This is the most abundant source of stem cells that we have. We would do the liposuction procedure to harvest or obtain the stem cells, take a portion of it and do the nano fat for the affected joint or joints, and then ship it off to a lab. Takes about six weeks. Let them extract the stem cells out of the additional fat that we didn't use today, and they'll bank it for you, which you can order anytime you want, and then they can ship to the clinic. Purposes for stem cells. You know, we're seeing stem cells being used for spinal cord injury, for brain function, for autoimmune diseases. There's a lot of other purposes for stem cells, and typically we're using, you know, your own stem cells for those other purposes.
