What are stem cells and what are they used for?
Imagine your body is like a city. Over time, some parts can become damaged, like potholed streets or buildings that need repair.
Stem cells are like skilled workers that can become whatever the city (your body) needs: repairing tissues, regenerating organs, or healing wounds.
Exosomes are the materials and tools that these cells use to communicate and make repairs faster and more efficient.
In regenerative medicine, doctors use stem cells and exosomes to help the body recover from injuries or diseases, optimizing its own healing capacity.
Security and traceability.
At Lonvida, we work exclusively with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from rigorously selected, allogeneic, placenta-derived donors who undergo pathogen testing and strict quality control. Our stem cells are cultured in pristine, sterile environments using advanced bioreactor technology that precisely regulates temperature, oxygen, and vital nutrients to ensure their purity and stability.
Better quality of life
Once in the body, mesenchymal stem cells work by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue regeneration, and releasing healing signals that stimulate the body's self-repair mechanisms. Results are not immediate; it is a gradual process where improvements are usually noticeable over a few weeks to a few months.
Repair chain
When administered, stem cells first act in the lungs, where they tend to concentrate due to chronic inflammation associated with urban pollution. This process, called pulmonary sequestration, causes approximately 60% of the cells to remain there during the first infusion to repair damaged tissue. Subsequently, the remaining cells are distributed throughout the body, where they reduce inflammation, modulate the immune system, promote nerve and tissue regeneration, prevent fibrosis, and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. Therefore, several infusions are usually required to achieve an optimal systemic regenerative effect.

Stem cells primarily support the body's natural repair and regeneration processes. They are characterized by their ability to modulate inflammation, communicate with other tissues, and stimulate cellular recovery mechanisms.
In the body, they act as a kind of intelligent support system: they help create a more favorable environment for healing, balance the immune system's response, and contribute to maintaining healthier tissues. Their action is not to "replace" organs, but rather to promote regeneration from within, supporting the body's own biological processes.
For this reason, stem cell therapies are used as part of personalized medical approaches focused on recovery, prevention, and long-term well-being.Mesenchymal stem cells or "stem cells" can be injected directly into a joint, such as the knee or shoulder; in other cases, they are administered by intravenous infusion into the bloodstream; and in some cases, they are applied by local injections in specific areas such as joints, skin, or soft tissues.
The cost of stem cell treatment can vary significantly, as it depends on each patient's specific needs and the number of cells required. This type of therapy is measured in millions of cells per application, and the dosage is personalized after a medical evaluation.
At Lonvida, our stem cell treatments start with 10 million cells, with an initial cost of $15,000 MXN. From there, the treatment can be adjusted according to the therapeutic objectives and the recommendation of our medical team.
Stem cell therapies should not be understood as a guaranteed “cure” for diseases. Their use depends on the diagnosis, the health status of each patient, and, above all, the scientific evidence available for each condition.
In medicine, stem cells are researched and used primarily for their potential to support repair processes, modulate inflammation, and promote recovery in certain contexts. At Lonvida, any recommendation is made only after a medical evaluation and with a clear explanation of what can realistically be expected: potential benefits, limitations, risks, and alternatives.
If you are considering this type of therapy, the most responsible thing to do is to evaluate your case individually to determine if it could be a complementary option, and if there is sufficient clinical support for your specific situation.
The effectiveness of stem cell treatment varies from person to person and depends on multiple factors, such as the diagnosis, general health status, the stage of the condition being treated, the dose used, and the individual response of the body.
In medicine, these types of therapies are considered supportive or complementary approaches, aimed at promoting the body's natural processes such as tissue repair, inflammation regulation, and functional recovery. There is no guarantee of results, nor will every patient experience the same response.
Therefore, at Lonvida, each case is evaluated individually. Our medical team focuses on providing clear, evidence-based information, honestly explaining what benefits can be expected, what results are uncertain, and what the limitations of the treatment are, so that each patient can make an informed decision.
Scientific evidence on stem cell therapies is constantly evolving. Currently, numerous preclinical studies, clinical trials, and medical publications are investigating their safety, mechanisms of action, and potential applications in various medical contexts. However, the level of evidence is not uniform across all conditions, and in many cases, research is ongoing.
In medicine, it is important to distinguish between established uses, research uses, and complementary applications, all of which must be evaluated according to ethical and scientific criteria. Therefore, results observed in studies or in other patients do not guarantee the same effect in all individuals.
