Why choose VSEL?
The Institute’s VSEL Treatment Protocol A sample of blood or bone marrow is collected. VSELs are separated from other cells using state-of-the-art cellular processing technology. Once isolated, the VSELs are exposed to very cold temperatures simulating hypothermia, which is known to activate VSELs. ...

Mar 28, 2022 · VSEL Therapy (Video) May 10, 2022. Posted by Dr. Minkoff. 23 Feb. VSEL stands for “very small embryonic-like” stem cell. VSEL Therapy is a rejuvenation treatment and is great for anti-aging. Dr. Minkoff explains VSEL Therapy in great detail in this video. What you will learn:
What are the characteristics of VSELs?
The implications of this treatment are profound. If we are able to turn the tide of osteoporosis it will save our health care system billions of dollars. The amount of money spent on a fractured hip is astounding. More importantly this treatment can dramatically improve the quality of …

What Are VSELs?
VSELs stands for Very Small Embryonic-Like Regenerative Cells, and are also known as "V-cells.” Very Small Embryonic Like Regenerative cells (VSELs...
What Do VSELs Do?
In short, VSELs have been shown to have extremely powerful healing qualities and have shown promise in dealing with autoimmune diseases such as Has...
How Do VSELs Work?
VSELs secrete telomerase, which is the enzyme that restores the DNA telomere ends. Telomeres can be thought of as the aging clock in every cell. By...
What Are The Expected Results of VSEL Treatment?
Patient results vary drastically with VSELs, as everyone has unique causes of inflammation within the body. A few common results we hear from patie...
What Are VSELs?
VSELs, Very Small Embryonic-Like stem cells, are the cutting-edge of platelet-rich plasma therapy. These cells are unique in that they can eventually become any cell in your entire body. In many ways, this makes their use limitless.
What Are the Applications for PRP and VSEL Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy and VSEL injections have an abundant amount of potential. However, due to safety and limited research, these injections are restricted to only a few applications, including:
The Difference Between PRP and Stem Cell Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy and stem cell therapy are two different things. On one hand, PRP therapy helps rejuvenate damaged tissue and has anti-inflammatory effects. On the other hand, stem cell therapy involves the division of the cells to create new growth.
Who Should Consider PRP and VSEL Therapy?
For the most part, almost anybody experiencing nagging injuries, baldness, or osteoarthritis is a good candidate for PRP and VSEL therapy.
The Outlook for the Future of Medicine
PRP and VSEL therapy offer a bright future for medicine and individualized treatments. Research further indicates that with more standardized processes for VSEL and platelet-rich plasma therapy, it can be applied to a broad range of medical issues.
What do we know about VSELs?
So what do we know about VSELs and disease? The advocates for VSELs have published papers showing that they’re mobilized into the bloodstream during heart attacks, strokes, and chronic respiratory disease (4,5,7). We know that when mice are exposed to intermittent low oxygen (hypoxia) that VSELs mobilize into the bloodstream (6). What we don’t know is that if you isolate these cells and use them to treat someone that it does any good.
What is a VSEL cell?
The idea behind Very Small Embryonic Like (VSEL) stem cells is that they are small and like embryonic stem cells, they can differentiate into many different cell types. They are supposed to be produced largely in the bone marrow but can mobilize from there into the blood under certain circumstances. VSELs were discovered by a professor ...
How to isolate VSELs from other blood cells?
Next, isolating VSELs from other blood cells would involve binding a fluorescent antibody to the cells and then using cell sorting (FACS) or some other commercial system like a magnetic separation column (8). The former is a complex lab research machine and the latter is a purpose-built kit device used in labs. Neither of these would be legal to use in a clinical patient.
Where were VSELs discovered?
VSELs were discovered by a professor at the University of Louisville and in humans, they are about the size of a red blood cell (7 nm) (1). I was first introduced to the concept of these cells way back in about 2008 because the company I was consulting for (Neostem) had a contract to work on VSEL research with the lead researcher in this area, Dr. Ratajczak.
Where do VSELs come from?
It is thought that VSELs originate from the early cells in an embryo and are deposited in developing organs as the embryo grows. It’s also thought that they play a role as a backup population for tissue-committed stem cells. There are stem cells that live in all of your organs that help repair things.
Is Irv a stem cell establishment?
Irv is very much the stem cell establishment and Ratajczak is very much the upstart wanting to reorganize the way the establishment sees how stem cells work. In 2013, Dr. Weissman published a paper that blew up the VSEL research world (3). Basically, Irv tried to find VSELs in mouse bone marrow and didn’t find any.
Can VSELs be used in a clinic?
So even if you could isolate VSELs in a clinic (it would actually take an advanced research lab), activate them, and then infuse them intravenously, none would make it to the brain to help the fifth cranial nerve that causes TN. So this clinic’s story of using VSELs is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. That’s British slang that means not quite fully baked.
What is IPL therapy?
What it does. IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It’s a type of light therapy used to treat wrinkles, spots, and unwanted hair. You can use IPL to minimize or remove: age spots.
How to use IPL on skin?
Your skin care specialist first cleans the area that’s being treated. Then they rub a cool gel onto your skin. Then, they apply light pulses from the IPL device to your skin. During your treatment, you’ll need to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes.
How much does an IPL cost?
On average, IPL costs $700 to $1,200. You might have to pay more for anesthesia, tests, follow-up visits, or medicines. Because IPL is considered a cosmetic procedure, most health insurance plans won’t cover the cost.
Is laser treatment ablative?
If the laser removes the top layer of skin, it’s considered an ablative treatment. If it heats the underlying tissue without damaging the top layer , it’s considered nonablative. Laser treatments require fewer sessions than IPL, and they can be used effectively on dark skin.
Can IPL be used on uneven skin?
You can use IPL anywhere on your body, but it may not work as well on uneven areas. It isn’t recommended for people who tend to get thick, raised keloid scars or who have darker skin tones. It’s also not as effective on light-colored hair as it is on darker hair.
