Stem cell therapy for knees in Dream Body Clinic

1 accreditation
hospital certificates of quality

About the clinic

Stem cell therapy for knees at Dream Body Clinic in Bucerias, Mexico, is a regenerative procedure that typically runs around $3,500 for a single knee. This treatment is led by Dr. Arick Lopez and uses 50 million mesenchymal stem cells to help repair damaged joint tissues. The clinic is known for its on-site ISO 7 clean room lab, where cells are processed and used within 24 hours to maintain high potency.

Advanced Treatment Method

The clinic uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) sourced from Wharton's Jelly and placenta tissue. These cells are never frozen, which helps keep them viable for the repair process. During the procedure, Dr. Arick Lopez performs an intra-articular injection directly into the knee joint. This injection is done under ultrasound guidance to make sure the cells reach the exact area of injury. This method treats various conditions, including osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, and chronic knee pain.

What the Package Includes

A typical treatment package at Dream Body Clinic covers more than just the injection. Patients receive a complete diagnostic review to confirm they are good candidates for therapy. The following services are included for a price that may cost around $3,500 per knee:

  • 50 million mesenchymal stem cells for targeted joint repair
  • Esaote S Scan Open MRI for detailed, claustrophobia-free imaging
  • Full blood panel to check overall health before the procedure
  • Consultation and follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment
  • Bilateral treatment for both knees typically runs around $7,000

Expertise and Safety

Head Physician Dr. Arick Lopez has over 10 years of experience in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. The facility holds COFEPRIS accreditation and follows strict safety standards in its ISO 7 clean room. By cultivating cells on-site, the medical team avoids the cell damage often caused by freezing and shipping. For patients with knee osteoarthritis, this approach has shown a symptom improvement rate between 65% and 78%.

Your Stay and Recovery

Patients should plan for a 5-day stay in Mexico. The process begins with an MRI and bloodwork on the second day. Dr. Arick Lopez reviews these results with the patient before the injection occurs on the fourth day. Most people return home on the fifth day with minimal downtime. While some feel better quickly, significant improvement usually happens within 3 to 6 months as the cells work to rebuild cartilage and reduce inflammation.

Dream Body Clinic: more details about the clinic

Mexico, Mexico City
Established in 1984, Dream Body Clinic is a private regenerative medicine facility in Bucerías, Mexico. The clinic focuses on mesenchymal stem cell therapy and pro-aging treatments. It treats international patients from over 40 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.### Clinical Quality and Safety StandardsThe facility operates under **COFEPRIS licensing**, Mexico's health authority for regenerative medicine. This license covers stem cell production and cryo-bank operation. All stem cells are processed in an **ISO 7 clean room lab** following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).The clinic uses human mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton's Jelly and placenta from live, healthy births. Every patient receives a third-party analysis of their stem cells to verify viability and purity. For safety reasons, the clinic does not treat patients who have had cancer within the past five years.### Flagship Regenerative ProtocolsThe primary specialty is mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for chronic conditions and longevity. The flagship **300 Million Stem Cell IV Treatment** follows a minimum four-day protocol. This program delivers 300 million certified, never-frozen MSCs directly into the bloodstream.The protocol also includes:
  • NAD+ and high-dose vitamin C IV drips to support cell function
  • Day 2 comprehensive blood panel reviewed by physicians
  • Overnight stem cell preparation, so cells are administered within 24 hours of cultivation
  • Remote follow-up monitoring at 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment

According to clinic data, patients report an 81% average improvement rate for anti-aging protocols at six months.

### Orthopedic and Joint RegenerationSpecialists treat musculoskeletal conditions by injecting stem cells directly into affected joints. They use image guidance, such as **deep field ultrasound**, to place MSCs into spinal areas or joints. The clinic reports an 84% improvement rate for osteoarthritis and joint regeneration.Specific orthopedic protocols include:
  • Knee therapy – 50 million MSCs for meniscus tears, ACL damage, and cartilage loss
  • Spinal treatment – Targeted injections for herniated discs and chronic back pain
  • Hand and foot care – Doses from 10 million to 25 million MSCs for arthritis

For orthopedic patients, injected cells remain active in the system for up to one year.

### Specialty Urology and NephrologyThe urology department offers specialized treatment for **benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)**. Head physician Dr. Barba Lopez developed this protocol to reduce prostate size without surgery. It involves injecting 50 million MSCs around the prostate using ultrasound guidance.In nephrology, the clinic treats acute and chronic kidney disease using MSCs to support renal regeneration. Data for Type 2 diabetes patients show that 72% achieved a significant reduction in HbA1c levels. Of these patients, 64% were able to reduce their daily medication requirements.### Advanced Diagnostic EquipmentDream Body Clinic maintains on-site diagnostic tools for precise treatment planning. The facility uses the **Esaote S Scan Open MRI**, which features a non-claustrophobic design. This system provides detailed imaging of bones, ligaments, and tendons before joint injections. All joint treatment packages include an on-site MRI and a full blood panel to assess eligibility.### International Patient ServicesThe clinic provides dedicated support for foreign travelers to Bucerías and Nuevo Vallarta. English-speaking medical coordinators assist with travel planning and hotel bookings. Patients staying north of Puerto Vallarta International Airport receive complimentary airport and clinic transportation.

Thinking about stem cell therapy for medical issues or anti-aging? This is the place to begin your search for treatments. I've been twice (for hair, face, and full body infusion of stem cells) and have had outstanding results. I researched clinics in Panama, Columbia, and Mexico for over a year. The team of doctors and clinicians at Dream Body Clinic are some of the best you'll find worldwide.
