Key takeaways
- VSELs are powerful, autologous stem cells: Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells are naturally present in your body and can transform into multiple cell types, making them a safe and versatile tool for regenerative medicine.
- VSEL Therapy activates your body’s natural repair system: Using photobiomodulation and platelet lysate, VSEL Therapy “wakes up” dormant stem cells to promote healing, tissue regeneration, and overall wellness.
- VSEL Therapy offers broad health benefits: From cardiovascular support and musculoskeletal repair to anti-aging and aesthetic improvements, VSEL Therapy provides a natural, minimally invasive approach to enhance health, longevity, and quality of life.
What are VSELs?
VSELs (Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells) are a unique type of stem cell found in adult tissues like blood and bone marrow. First discovered in 2005 by Professor Mariusz Ratajczak, VSELs are remarkably small—smaller than red blood cells, and embryonic-like because they share the regenerative potential of embryonic stem cells.
Unlike embryonic stem cells, VSELs come from your own body, making them safe, ethical, and highly compatible. Their natural presence in adult tissues positions them as a powerful tool for regenerative medicine.
How VSELs Work
VSELs are part of the body’s dormant repair system. They circulate in the blood and reside in bone marrow, ready to differentiate into multiple cell types, including heart, cartilage, nerve, bone, and skin cells.
These cells also produce telomerase, an enzyme that protects DNA and helps slow cellular aging. Markers like OCT4, Nanog, and SSEA-1 keep them flexible and ready to respond to the body’s repair needs without the risk of uncontrolled growth or tumor formation.
What Is VSEL Therapy?
VSEL Therapy or Plasma Photobiomodulation Therapy (PPT) is an advanced regenerative treatment that activates your body’s dormant VSELs to support healing, tissue repair, and overall wellness.
- A blood sample is collected.
- VSELs and growth factors are isolated from your blood.
- Photobiomodulation technology activates these cells using precise light wavelengths.
- Activated VSELs are reintroduced via IV or targeted injection to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular function.
The Role of Platelet Lysate and Exosomes
VSEL Therapy is often combined with platelet lysate, a concentrated solution from your own blood platelets containing growth factors and exosomes. Exosomes act as tiny messengers, delivering healing signals to cells, even across the blood-brain barrier, enhancing tissue repair and regeneration.
Key growth factors in platelet lysate include:
- PDGF: Tissue repair
- TGF-β: Collagen production and healing
- VEGF: New blood vessel formation
- IGF-1: Cell growth and metabolism
- bFGF: Tissue regeneration
Together, platelet lysate and VSELs provide a powerful, natural regenerative therapy.
Health Benefits of VSEL Therapy
VSEL Therapy has potential benefits across multiple areas:
- Cardiovascular support: May regenerate heart tissue and improve function
- Anti-aging: Potential to reduce biological age markers, enhance metabolism, immune health, and skin quality
- Musculoskeletal repair: Supports cartilage, tendons, and ligaments; relieves chronic pain
- Aesthetic improvements: Promotes skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, hair restoration, and scar improvement naturally
Safety and Advantages
Because VSELs are autologous, they carry minimal risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Side effects are typically mild, such as temporary fatigue as your body undergoes repair. This natural compatibility makes VSEL Therapy a safe and well-tolerated regenerative solution.
The VSEL Therapy Experience at BionwoRx
A typical session involves:
- Blood collection
- Isolation of VSELs and platelet lysate
- Activation with photobiomodulation
- Reintroduction via IV or targeted injection
Most patients complete treatment in a single session, though results often improve with multiple sessions.
