Autologous

Cells taken from and returned to the same person.

Why Autologous matters when choosing treatment

Cells harvested from your own body and returned to you—your own biology, no donor needed. Clinics market this as safer because your immune system recognises the cells as "self" rather than foreign. When evaluating claims, ask whether the clinic will expand your cells in the lab (which takes weeks) or inject them fresh; expansion increases contamination risk and alters cell behaviour. Insurance rarely covers autologous procedures, so clarify costs upfront and whether pricing includes the growth-factor analysis your own cells will need post-harvest.
