Intravenously administered adipose-derived stem cells will tend to migrate back to the fresh wound site if it is not given an adequate time to heal. Therefore, it is essential to allow about one week after the mini-liposuction before administering any stem cells intravenously. Otherwise, there is a likelihood that the treatment will not be as effective. Additionally, it takes 5 five days to thoroughly test the adipose cell samples for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as endotoxins.
In order to ensure that no patient receives an infected sample, at least 5 days must transpire before the cells can be confirmed safe and injected back into the patient.
Lastly, this 5-day waiting period enables our scientists to culture a small sample of each patient’s stem cells in the lab to observe how they are likely to proliferate once they are inside the body. If a patient’s cells show low viability, Stem Cell Institute doctors will supplement the treatment with additional cord-derived cells to compensate. The same can be done in cases of low cell yield.

Neil Riordan PhD - Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury (Part 5 of 5) || Video
Dr. Riordan discusses current FDA oversight of adult stem cell treatments, "practice of medicine" treatments that are neither regulated nor approved by the FDA, historical examples of successful medical procedures such as bariatric surgery, liposuction and ulcer treatments which were violently opposed by researchers, physicians and companies with competing financial interests.
