Von Dr. Dinko Kaliterna
Stem cells have a unique ability to self-renew and regenerate functional tissues. They can develop into many different types of cells in the body during early life and growth.

WHAT TYPE OF STEM CELLS IS USED IN POLYDERMA POLICLINIC?

SCALP STEM CELLS

Stem cells are harvested behind the ear and from the scalp and applied because these regions are richest in stem cells. The more hair roots there are, the more stem cells are there. The hair that grows there has the most hair roots. Therefore, stem cells from these areas are harvested. Other areas of skin are poor with stem cells. If the treatment includes stimulating hair growth, then stem cells from the scalp are used, and if the goal of the treatment is facial rejuvenation or, for example, reduction of scar tissue, then stem cells from behind the ear are applied.

ADIPOSE-DERIVED STEM CELLS

Adipose tissue is richest in stem cells and has 2700 times more stem cells than bone tissue. Stem cells are obtained from adipose tissue in 2 ways, using enzymatic and non-enzymatic processing. In enzymatic processing, enzymes are used to obtain stem cells using a special device. When applying the enzymatic method of obtaining stem cells, the largest number of stem cells that can be applied locally or systemically is obtained. When applying the non-enzymatic method of obtaining stem cells, another device is used, and stem cells can only be used locally in the skin.

WHAT ROLE DO STEM CELLS PLAY?

The primary role of stem cells is to remove any type of cell damage by repairing the damaged cells or replacing them with new cells. Unlike other types of cells, stem cells can divide indefinitely as required and remove tissue damage thus regenerating the tissue. Stem cells have the greatest ability to heal and regenerate. There is no other method, treatment or therapy that can be compared to the stem cell therapeutic outcome and effect.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF STEM CELLS?
  • embryonic stem cells found in umbilical cord, and placenta
  • adult stem cells found in adipose tissue, bone tissue, hair root, skin and in some organs

Stem cells are mostly found in adipose tissue and subsequently in the bone marrow. Consequently, adipose tissue has 2700 times more stem cells than bone marrow.

WHICH STEM CELLS ARE USED IN THERAPY?

Only the client’s adipose or bone marrow stem cells are used. Other person's stem cells are not to be used. Embryonic stem cells are not suitable for adults, nor should they be used.

HOW DO STEM CELLS WORK?

Stem cells remain dormant and awake in case of tissue damage to repair and replace the damaged tissue.  Different stem cell-secreted factors renew the damaged tissue and restore the lost or damaged function or provide new cells. In this way they encourage renewal and healing, which is their main therapeutic role. The key to successful treatment is the effect of stem cells on the cell itself, which results in biological cell rejuvenation by 10 to 15 years on average. It can be said that stem cells take the biological clock back 10 to 15 years. The body has everything it needs to heal if it is in balance. If the balance is disturbed, the body cannot heal, and disease occurs. For the body to heal, balance should be restored. Without healing there is no cure.

Stem cells have the most efficient healing power to restore the body balance. They encourage the organism to renew itself on its own, restore balance and heal, and thus cure itself. They have a strong effect on the immune system in terms of stimulating and changing the immune response. They stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and nerve branches. They remove dead and damaged cells. They have a very pronounced effect of reducing inflammation. Stem cells have the strongest rejuvenating effect. It is the basis of stem cell application in rejuvenation, degenerative, inflammatory, autoimmune, and numerous other diseases. Stem cell therapy can be applied for treating any condition or disease and their application contributes significantly to any treatment.

WHY CHOOSE STEM CELL THERAPY?

Because:

  • it is 100% natural,
  • it is 100% safe,
  • it is a scientifically based therapy, which has been proven effective,
  • stem cells are the best option for preserving and improving health as well as preventing disease development,
  • the treatment prolongs life because it slows down aging and improves quality of life,
  • where modern medicine cannot help, stem cell therapy is the one and only option,
  • stem cell therapy is the most comprehensive, effective, and complete solution to treating most diseases and medical conditions,
  • this therapy has strongest effect of restoring balance, regenerating, and healing, which is a prerequisite for cure,
  • stem cell therapy significantly shortens and facilitates the recovery period after both surgeries or various,
  • it significantly improves the treatment outcome of modern medicine,
  • with systemic application, stem cell therapy is the most comprehensive treatment because it affects the whole body and has numerous positive effects &
  • in most cases only 1 treatment is required.
IS STEM CELL THERAPY A SAFE PROCEDURE?

The treatment is 100% safe when using the client’s own stem cells. It has been scientifically proven that adult stem cells do not cause tumors or affect tumors. Evidence of this is the successful use of stem cells in treating individual tumors. The role of stem cells is exclusively to restore, i.e. replace damaged cells, and not to stimulate the growth of new cells. Consequently, they cannot cause tumor formation or growth.

HAS STEM CELL THERAPY BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN AS EFFECTIVE?

Stem cell therapy has been scientifically proven, as evidenced by numerous articles on applying stem cell therapy in treatment of many diseases. Stem cells are also used to treat tumors. With every passing day, stem cell therapy is increasingly applied in treating a number of new diseases and medical conditions. Pubmed is the largest and most important medical knowledge base where the most important and latest scientific medical articles are published. If you visit the web site www.pubmed.ncbi.nim.nih.gov  and enter a specific disease plus stem cells in search engine, e.g. stem cells covid, the result will show the latest articles on stem cell therapy application in treating this particular disease.   

HOW ARE STEM CELLS COLLECTED?

At our Polyclinic stem cells are obtained from adipose tissue from the abdomen, hips, thighs, groin, or knees. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and non-aggressive.

A small amount of fat cells is removed under local anesthesia. The fat is then removed and placed in a special device where the stem cells are isolated. The process of removing adipose tissue and obtaining stem cells takes about 90 minutes. Dr. Kaliterna has developed a special method of stem cell preparation and processing for best possible result.

The harvested stem cells are prepared and injected into the tissue or applied into a vein over a period of about 3 hours.

The key to treatment success depends on the type of stem cell preparation, the preservation, and the processing. Dr. Kaliterna’s method for stem cell preservation significantly helps to obtain preserved stem cells of the highest quality. The obtained stem cells are placed in a specially prepared solution designed by Dr. Kaliterna to further activate and feed the stem cells. According to the method of Dr. Kaliterna, significantly better results are obtained compared to the standard stem cell preparation. It is extremely important to apply stem cells immediately! The longer the stem cells are kept, the lower the quality. The method of Dr. Kaliterna facilitates the fastest application of stem cells after their obtaining.

HOW MANY STEM CELLS ARE OBTAINED?

For best results, in addition to the number of stem cells, their properties and quality are of great importance. Any additional manipulation of stem cells weakens the quality of their processing and cultivation in the laboratory, which is otherwise prohibited in most countries. About 40 million stem cells of the highest quality are obtained per 1 stem cell kit. Depending on stem cell application, Dr. Kaliterna determines the preparation method and the number of stem cells. The number of stem cells is determined separately for each disease or condition. A maximum of 2 stem cell kits can be used at one time, i.e., 80 million stem cells.

HOW MANY STEM CELL THERAPIES ARE NEEDED?

In most cases, only 1 treatment is needed depending on the stem cell application. However, some autoimmune diseases require repeated treatment.

IS POST-TREATMENT RECOVERY PERIOD REQUIRED?

A short-lived bruise or a small swelling may occur at the injection site. Systemic application requires no recovery period. After treatment, there may be minor discomfort for about a few days at the site of fat removal. There are no major restrictions on post-treatment activity.

WHAT TESTS MUST BE DONE BEFORE SYSTEMIC APPLICATION OF STEM CELLS?

A routine search for tumor markers should be performed to rule out any existing tumor. For better results, a few other tests, such as internal medicine exam and laboratory work, are recommended. Also, is advisable to detox the body before treatment by applying infusions for 2 weeks if possible. After that, stem cells are administered.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE THE RESULTS?

Usually, the initial results can be seen after a couple of weeks and get better over the next 9 months, when the final result is achieved.

WHAT ARE CONTRAINDICATIONS TO STEM CELL THERAPY?

- Pregnancy,

- Adipose tissue deficiency,

- Allergy to local anesthetics,

- Severe acute infections,

- Existing tumors &

- Chemotherapy.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED RESULT OF STEM CELL THERAPY?

It is not possible to accurately predict the result, nor can a guarantee be given, because the final result depends on the condition of the organism, the duration of the disease, the age of the client and a number of other factors. In some diseases and conditions, significantly better results are achieved, and in other diseases the result is somewhat weaker. Each client has a different condition and disease. Each client has experienced improvement in organ function, i.e., functions that have been damaged, as well as improvement of general health, a regeneration, feels better after the treatment, and has observed an increase in immunity and energy… For better results, it is advisable to use genetic tests to prolong life while respecting possible food intolerance and prepare the body through infusions and blood cleansing. In doing so, it is important to follow the instructions and change your lifestyle.

WHAT DETERMINES THE PRICE OF TREATMENT?

Primarily the number of stem cells. Then the way the stem cells are prepared in terms of the type of ingredients that are added to the stem cell revitalization. Stem cell processing procedures differ depending on the disease or condition for which the stem cell treatment is applied.

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS USED FOR?

Hardly is there a disease or condition that would not benefit from stem cell therapy. In the Polyclinic Poliderma the stem cell therapy is mostly used for:

SYSTEMIC APPLICATION OF STEM CELL THERAPY:    

POST COVID SYNDROME

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 includes long-term symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, rapid weariness, weakness, cough, etc.… Unfortunately, these problems last for months even after recovering from Covid infection. Most people report that they have difficulty recovering and regaining their strength. All listed symptoms occur as a result of severe inflammation in addition to the virus attacking almost all organs.

Unfortunately, some people have long-term consequences, post-Covid issues should be taken seriously, and therapy should be started as soon as possible. Stem cells are the most effective option to remove post-covid symptoms, especially if the lungs are more severely affected. Stem cells are the most effective way to help the lungs recover, that is, postpone lung transplantation. The important role of stem cells after Covid is to significantly reduce the development of autoimmune diseases that consequently occur due to Covid-19, of which diabetes is the most common. As part of the post-Covid syndrome, damage to certain organs occurs, which unfortunately is often detected late. Most often, it is damage to the brain and heart. Stem cells are the most effective way to help remove such damage. It can be freely stated that the most effective treatment for any issue caused by Covid infection is stem cell therapy.

SYSTEMIC BODY REJUVENATION
WHY DO WE AGE?

The main cause of aging is the loss and damage of cell functions due to environmental influence and genetics. In the past, people used to say that 50% of aging is caused by environmental influences and the other 50% by genetic influences. Environmental influence could and can be affected, but genetics could not be significantly influenced in the past. Today, however, genetics can be affected for about 25%. There remains 75% of the environmental impact, which is a large percentage, which can be used to significantly slow down the aging process. The main disadvantage of all beauty and rejuvenation treatments is that they act only on the skin, i.e., externally, and not on the internal organs and the whole organism. A person can look nice on the outside, but the internal organs are old, damaged, and worn out. Therefore, we cannot talk about true rejuvenation. For complete body rejuvenation not only the skin but all organs should be rejuvenated. The only method to systemic body rejuvenation both inside and out is the application of stem cells.

BIOLOGICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL AGING

Chronological aging is related to the age a person has while biological aging refers to the biological age of this person’s organs. Chronological and biological aging are not always the same. If you take two individuals of the same age, i.e., chronological age, it does not mean that they are in the same state of health. Some people are in better health and their organs work better. This means that such individuals are biologically young. Biological age matters much more.

WHAT IS SYSTEMIC REJUVENATION?

Systemic rejuvenation is the latest and the only method, which guarantees complete body rejuvenation both inside and out by using stem cell therapy. It is the most effective method, which slows down the aging process and offers the strongest rejuvenating effect. The client’s stem cells are applied and distributed through circulation throughout the whole body except joints. In doing so, all damaged tissues and organs heal while repairing the damage. In that way, they strengthen, i.e., restore damaged or lost organ function offering the effect of rejuvenation. Functioning of all organs is improved. At the same time, the skin is rejuvenated on the outside and inside. This method is the most effective for preserving and improving health and preventing the development of many diseases. Due to the effect of slowing down the aging process, this method prolongs life.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE TREATMENT

After collecting data and per client’s wishes, before the treatment individual treatment is made for the best possible treatment results. The client is advised to do the following:

- run a full blood work up and check hormone levels,

- undergo individual medical exams,

- perform a body analysis,

- get infusions especially of Resveratrol and undergo blood cleansing treatment,

- perform a genetic analysis for food intolerance,

- determine one’s biological age &

- consult various specialists as needed.

LIFE EXTENSION

Based on genetic analysis, a 100% individual plan is made to determine what should be undertaken and taken to prolong life, improve quality of life and which cosmetic creams work best for skin rejuvenation. A swab of the oral mucosa is done and after about 30 days a detailed report is obtained, which should be adhered to. There is genetic material in chromosomes. At the top of the chromosome there are telomeres that get shortened by cell division. The longer the telomeres, the longer we live and vice versa.

The aim of the test is to determine:

- telomere length,

- which foods to eat to lengthen telomeres and thus prolong life, and which foods are good for biological rejuvenation,

- the actual and biological age,

- measurement of the aging process,

- individual cream production according to the ingredients that best rejuvenate the skin &

- which hormones to take.

A combination of a life extension test with stem cell treatment is the most effective method of systemic rejuvenation. The advantage is that everything is done 100% individually. This way a client can freeze the aging process and is granted another youth.

WHAT DOES SYSTEMIC REJUVENATION OFFER?

The results vary from individual to individual and cannot be predicted due to the client’s health condition and organ damage. Preparing the client for the treatment and following post-treatment recommendations can significantly improve the results. The most commonly reported results are listed below and include:

- skin: thickening, rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, a fresh facial expression; the skin is no longer dry and sensitive,

- improvement of eyesight and reduction in eye-related conditions,

- hair: improvement in quality and hair density,

- improvement of general condition, mood and memory,

- revitalization,

- cleansing of blood vessels, better blood sugar control and lowering cholesterol levels,

- increase of energy and concentration,

- elimination and reduction of chronic pain,

- improvement of sex life in men,

- strengthening immunity, a person feels much better,

- a slight weight loss,

- improved organ function,

- increase of mobility,

- improved circulation, a person no longer gets tired,

- slowing down of degenerative processes and aging &

- reducing discomfort in most diseases. 

WHAT DO THE RESULTS OF SYSTEMIC REJUVENATION DEPEND ON?

The results depend primarily on client’s health condition. Not everyone responds equally to treatment because it is not the same whether you undergo treatment in good or poor health.

If you undergo body cleansing treatments before the treatment, then much better results are achieved. Lifestyle and life habits after treatment also affect the result. It is essential to follow the instructions and change the lifestyle and life habits, watch your diet, exercise regularly, and to control body weight.

POST-TREATMENT FOLLOW-UP

After the treatment, it is recommended to do an annual examination, which includes lab work, in order to assess the state of health. Occasional Reseveratol infusions and blood cleansing treatments are recommended.

DISEASES

Where modern medicine fails, the only hope for recovery are stem cells that can significantly help in treating most diseases and various conditions. Stem cells work in a natural way so that they facilitate the healing process in repairing and removing damage of any kind. Healing encourages the cells to restore balance, which is the key to healing. The winning combination for healing is the use of stem cells and modern medicine at the same time. Stem cells are the best and most efficient thing that can be offered today.

At the Polyclinic Poliderma stem cells are mostly used for treating:  

- autoimmune diseases: arthritis, multiple sclerosis, vitiligo, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, allergies, and other diseases,

- pulmonary and respiratory diseases, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease),

- diseases of the eye, especially autoimmune ones,

- liver disease: hepatitis, fatty liver, and liver damage of any cause,

- blood vessels: cleansing, atherosclerosis, strengthening circulation, cholesterol regulation,

- Crohn's disease,

- neurological diseases: stroke, dementia, nerve paresis, neuropathy,

- chronic wounds, burns &

- recovery after heart attack and major surgeries.

There are a number of diseases and medical conditions, which may not have been listed here. For additional information, contact us at: poliderma@poliderma.hr

We will be happy to help and provide all the necessary information.

WHAT PROMOTES THE HEALING PROCESS BEST?

The drugs themselves are not always effective enough to cure and heal because they have no or little effect on restoring cell balance, which is the key to healing. The most common problem is belated drug administration. In addition, the immune system detox, cell function improvement and a number of other important factors should be affected as well. Cells have the ability to regenerate only if they are in balance. Our goal is to restore cell balance. As a result, the cells work less, lose their balance, and cannot regenerate. As a result, cell death occurs. This paves the way for the development or deterioration of the disease. It is crucial to act on the cells, and stem cells are the ones with the strongest effect on the cells in terms of restoring cell balance, restoring the cells, and improving their function. Without that, there is no cure. Diet has an extremely important role in healing because if you eat food that does not suit your body then many diseases occur and the existing disease, i.e., the existing condition worsens. In addition to stem cells, the application of infusions, blood cleansing, genetic analysis for food intolerance and a life extension test to prolong life are combined because all of them restore cell balance. In this way, everything possible is done to cure and heal our body as successfully as possible. When the cells restore balance, the drugs have a much better effect. It is not enough to focus only on the disease or the affected organ because one should look at the organism as a whole.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE STEM CELL TREATMENT?

The client needs to undergo medical examination to get an insight into client’s health condition. Certain tests are recommended for this purpose. Based on the findings, a treatment plan is drawn up. Before stem cell treatment, it is ideal to restore cell balance. Therefore, 2 weeks of infusions, blood cleansing treatment, and a number of other procedures are recommended as needed. In this way, the body is best prepared for treatment and the successfulness of stem cell treatment is significantly increased. Treatments are 100% individual. The cooperation of various specialists is recommended.

WHY ARE LIFE EXTENSION TESTS AND GENETIC INTOLERANCE TESTS IMPORTANT FOR HEALING?

Genetic analysis determines in the most precise way what the body needs and what it suits best. By following the instructions obtained by genetic testing, we can best improve the general health condition. Certain foods worsen or improve health. If you follow the recommendations resulting from genetic testing, in addition to improving your health, you can prevent the development of diseases that you are prone to. The life extension test significantly biologically rejuvenates the body so that the cells work better if life is extended.

STEM CELL FACIAL REJUVENATION: STEM CELL FACE LIFTING

Stem cell transfer to the face is the most effective method for facial rejuvenation, contouring and rejuvenation. It is believed that there is nothing more effective but stem cells for facial treatment, nor will it be possible to invent something more efficient. Stem cells completely change your skin in the sense that it gets rejuvenated for about 10 to 20 years depending on skin condition. There are two methods for obtaining stem cells: enzymatic and non-enzymatic method (in Polyclinic Poliderma both methods are applied). The enzymatic method is the most efficient method for obtaining stem cells. Stem cells can be injected:

pure, with the smallest needle,

combined with nanofat, i.e., small fat particles, with a cannula or

combined with adipose tissue, with a cannula, which is the best option.

For best results, a treatment to damage the face is recommended to activate the stem cells thus getting an even better result. For this purpose, Endolift is used; collagen is damaged with laser fiber, or abrasion is done with Skin foam. Post-treatment recovery lasts on average 1 to 3 days. The first results are usually seen after a couple of weeks, and they get better with time. The desired result is seen after 6 months. The average long-term treatment effects last for about 5 years or more depending on the care provided to your face. Stem cell treatment is the best thing you can do for your face and slow down the aging process most effectively. An entirely natural effect is obtained.

TREATMENT RESULTS

The results of treatments cannot be predicted as each treatment is individual and depends on a number of factors.

The most common results are:

- tightening and firming up of the skin,

- face contouring,

- wrinkle reduction,

- reduction of pores and possible scars,

- the skin is no longer dry and sensitive,

- removal of facial pigmentation and under-eye circles, evening the skin tone,

- thickening the skin,

- significantly improved appearance, structure, and quality of the skin,

- 100% biorevitalization of the skin,

- stimulating metabolism with biological skin rejuvenation of 10 to 20 years on average &

- effectively slowing down the aging process.

WHY ARE STEM CELLS THE MOST EFFECTIVE REJUVENATION TREATMENT?

Stem cells are the best method to get a new skin because they biologically rejuvenate the cells for about 15 years on average. As cells age, they work less and do not produce enough collagen; toxins accumulate, damaged cells are not removed, metabolism is slow, and more disorders occur. As a result, the skin ages, which is witnessed by the appearance of pigmentation and wrinkles. The skin thins and the face sags. Damage to the skin's protective barrier leads to dry skin and increased sensitivity. Stem cells work most effectively at the cellular level which is why they are the most effective treatment for skin rejuvenation. All the consequences of aging get corrected by stem cells. Due to the biological rejuvenation of cells, a strong rejuvenating effect occurs. With stem cells, the aging process is slowed down and delayed by about 10 to 15 years. Stem cell treatment is the best treatment to rejuvenate your face.

IS A POST-TREATMENT RECOVERY PERIOD REQUIRED?

A post-treatment recovery period mostly lasts for 1 to 3 days due to minor swelling or bruising,  which all heals quickly.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE TREATMENT?

For better results, it is advisable to detox the body before treatment by administering infusions and blood cleansing procedure for 2 weeks if possible.

WHY IS LIFE EXTENSION TEST IMPORTANT?

This is not just the matter about prolonging life and improving the quality of life but so much more than that. Based on an oral mucosa swab, your biological and actual age is determined, and the aging process is measured. The aim of the test is to determine the length of telomeres and to determine which dietary supplements to take in order to lengthen telomeres and thus prolong life. At the top of the chromosome there are telomeres that get shortened by cell division. The longer the telomeres, the longer we live and vice versa. The aim of the test is to determine which foods and supplements to take to lengthen telomeres and thus rejuvenate biologically. In this way, the test effectively slows down the aging process. The test indicates which hormones should possibly be taken to improve life depending on age. Data are obtained on what food to eat and what to avoid. The life extension test is much more than just extension of life.

STEM CELL TREATMENT FOR HAIR GROWTH

The main cause of hair loss are degenerative changes in the hair roots due to a number of factors. The most common are male hormones in men, and iron deficiency, thyroid disease, or stress in women. Stem cells for hair growth are taken from the scalp or adipose tissue, which is a more efficient option because they contain more stem cells. To prevent hair loss, it is necessary to renew the hair root, which is most effectively done by stem cells. The future of hair loss treatment lies in hair root regeneration. It is crucial to start treatment on time and thus solve the problem of hair loss. The only therapy that helps with hair loss is one that targets the hair root. There are two ways to obtain stem cells from fat using the so-called enzymatic and non-enzymatic processing, the former being more efficient. The treatment helps prevent hair loss, strengthens the hair, and stimulates hair growth. For better effect it is advised to do damage to the scalp to activate stem cells, which then work better. The treatment only helps if there is hair preservation. The initial results are seen after a few months and get better over the next 6 to 9 months. In most cases, only one treatment is needed. If hair loss is more pronounced, then hair transplantation should be combined with stem cells for best results. It is advisable to do the stem cell treatment before the hair transplant because much better results are obtained. When transplanting hair, the person gets to keep the transplanted hair, but this does not prevent their own hair from falling out. Therefore, in cases of a greater hair loss, a combination of both stem cell treatment and hair transplantation is required for best results.
