Expertise in Regenerative Therapies: LX Medical is Minnesota’s top private concierge medical practice, led by veteran providers with extensive experience in traditional medicine as well as regenerative and longevity medicines.
Minimally Invasive Solutions: Our non-surgical therapies offer quick recovery times with minimal discomfort.
Proactive Health Approach: We focus on healing the whole body by addressing underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. Regenerative medicine is only as effective as your body’s ability to heal itself. We take the approach of elevating your foundational health while exploring how regenerative treatments can augment your body’s potential to repair.
Advanced Technology: We utilize the latest in regenerative technology to deliver safe and effective treatments.
Commitment to Patient Care: LX Medical is dedicated to the advancement of regenerative medicine therapeutics through supporting research and building protocols based on real-world case studies, along with our years of combined clinical experience.
Personalized Treatment Plans: We tailor each regenerative therapy to suit your specific health needs and goals. Our approach relies on a comprehensive approach that uses the most appropriate regenerative medicines and does not overly rely on HCTBs alone.
Regenerative medicine can address a wide range of conditions across various medical fields. In musculoskeletal and orthopedic health, it helps with joint pain, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, back and neck pain, and sports injuries. For neurological and cognitive disorders, it may improve outcomes in neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injuries, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic migraines. In the realm of respiratory and cardiovascular health, research shows promising outcomes with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and post-COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, it enhances sexual health and wellness by addressing erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, female sexual dysfunction, low libido, hormonal imbalances, and postmenopausal sexual wellness.
Results vary, but most patients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks of treatment as their body heals naturally.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients require a single session, while others may benefit from multiple treatments.
Coverage varies, but many regenerative medicine treatments are not covered by insurance. We offer various financing options to make treatments accessible.
Human cell and tissue biologics (HCTBs) have been shown to be safe in multiple peer-reviewed studies. Additionally, in our experience, we have not encountered any long-term negative side effects from using HCTBs.
Every case that utilizes HCTBs at LX Medical will undergo rigorous risk vs. benefit consultation with a trained medical professional. Studies have shown that HCTBs have hypoimmunologic properties, meaning they are less likely to trigger an immune response compared to other foreign cells. HCTBs derived from the sources we use are considered immuno-privileged, meaning they are not recognized as foreign by the body. Unlike treatments such as organ transplants, HCTB therapy does not require blood product use or HLA matching, making it a safe option.
Active Cancer: HCTBs can potentially help repair damaged cells and may differentiate into new cells. Because of this, we consider active cancer a contraindication to avoid any theoretical risk of HCTBs supporting cancer cell growth. Although more large-scale randomized clinical trials are needed, this precaution is taken for safety.
Previous Donor Tissue Recipients: While HCTBs are hypo-immunogenic, meaning they don’t typically trigger an immune response, some studies suggest that individuals who have previously reacted to donor tissue might have a similar reaction to HCTBs. Due to the lack of extensive trials confirming this, we consider this a contraindication in our practice.
Current Immunosuppressive Medications: HCTBs work by enhancing the immune system and reducing inflammation. If a patient is on immunosuppressive medications, these could reduce the effectiveness of MSC therapy or cause the stem cells to improperly interact with the immune system, making the treatment less effective.
At LX Medical, we carefully select our third-party vendors for human tissue and biologic products. We source our stem cells and exosomes from labs in the United States that are cGMP and AATB certified and fully FDA compliant. These labs are regulated under Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and the regulations in 21 CFR 1271.
FDA Regulation: The products and therapies provided by LX Medical are sourced from FDA-compliant laboratories and are regulated under Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. However, it is essential to note that these products are not classified as drugs or biologics under the FDA’s Section 351 and are not subject to the same approval processes as traditional pharmaceuticals. The use of HCTBs and exosomes in regenerative medicine is considered investigational, and these products have not been approved by the FDA for any specific disease or condition.
Treatment Outcomes: The efficacy of human tissue biologics can vary from patient to patient. While many individuals may experience significant benefits, others may see minimal or no improvement. There is no guarantee of specific results, and outcomes may depend on factors such as the patient’s overall health, the severity of the condition being treated, and individual biological responses.
Risks and Side Effects: Although HCTBs and exosomes are generally well-tolerated and have been shown to be safe in numerous studies, potential risks do exist. These may include, but are not limited to:
Contraindications: Certain conditions, such as active cancer, previous adverse reactions to donor tissue, and current use of immunosuppressive medications, may make the use of MSCs or exosomes inappropriate. Patients should discuss their full medical history with our clinical team to determine the suitability of these therapies.
Investigational Use: The therapies provided by LX Medical are considered investigational and are part of ongoing research in the field of regenerative medicine. While we strive to offer the most advanced treatments available, patients should be aware that these therapies are not a substitute for conventional medical treatment and should be considered as part of a comprehensive care plan.
Consultation and Informed Consent: Prior to receiving any treatment, patients will undergo a thorough consultation with one of our healthcare providers to discuss the potential benefits, risks, and limitations of human tissue biologics. Patients will be required to provide informed consent, acknowledging that they understand and accept the investigational nature of these therapies.
No Guarantee of Coverage: Many insurance providers do not cover treatments involving human tissue biologics, as they are considered experimental. Patients are responsible for all costs associated with these therapies and should verify their financial obligations prior to treatment.
