Are more stem cells always better? This is the question I aim to answer in this week’s episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast.
So many of you have asked me what I think about expanded stem cells and if they work better than native ones.
Many patients come to me with a common misconception: More stem cells = Better results. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
In fact, various studies have shown that culturing and expanding stem cells can lead to genetic alterations, reduced effectiveness, and even dangerous side effects.
Listen in as I break all of this down for you and discuss the big differences between expanded and unexpanded stem cells and why I think you should always go with the latter if you can.
Are you ready?
Let’s dive in.
