People cannot effectively represent or endorse products or services if they don't epitomize them. And Dr. Cristina A. Puyat is one of those few persons who believe and symbolize the brand she stands for. After all, the still youthful-looking medical practitioner founded one of the most well-known anti-aging and regenerative stem cell therapy clinics in the country.

The Asian Stem Cell Institute (ASCI) offers autologous, tissue-derived stem cell harvesting and treatment for injuries and medical conditions of all types, which includes autism, osteoarthritis, and joint pains. It also introduces comprehensive aesthetics and anti-aging treatments. The stem cell therapy has custom-compound formulations that consist of hormone balancing, nutritional intravenous infusions, and herbal support.

''Autologous stem cell treatment is safe and well-tolerated by the body. When you say autologous, it means that the harvest of the stem cell comes from the same person. Whatever we get from you, that's the one we will process and return. So, it's not coming from any other sources, not embryo or coming from a sheep,'' Puyat explains.

The advanced autologous treatment isolates, expands, and safely re-infuses stem cells from a patient's own adipose stroma (fat), bone marrow, and blood. This regenerative medicine undergoes the process of replacing and renewing cells or organs to restore them back to health.

Also, what sets autologous therapy from its contemporaries is that there is no standard approach to all patients. Puyat explains that each individual has a unique biochemistry that depends on one's age, sex, and genetic predisposition hence, the treatment should tailor-fit the patient with a particular condition.

Trained medical doctors perform the harvesting of fat tissue and extracting of bone marrow, which minimize the damage to the surrounding tissue and stem cells. ASCI has advance and cutting edge services using the ISO 4 Class clean area, where their in-house cellular biologists/microbiologists conduct their processes.

Dr. Cristina Puyat has spent 30 years studying medicine and health. She completed her Masters degree in Science of Preventive, Anti-Ageing, and Regenerative Medicine at the Dresden International University in Germany.

ASCI is located at Medical Plaza Ortigas, Pasig City.
