Recently, regenerative medicine has received boosts from stem cell research that may be used in a wide variety of fields, including obesity and weight loss, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery using fat transplantation as well as stem cells used for breast implants. Another recent development was the use of stem cells activated by lasers to help treat COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), ranked as the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S.

New stem cell treatments, research and technologies have followed Australian and French researchers as they attempt to develop stem cell delivery systems such as stem cell capsules that may help treat orthopedic issues such as broken bones, while nearly 160 stem-cell based clinical trials are under way in the fields of cardiology, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, stroke, immune, ophthalmic and peripheral artery disease, just to name a few.

A large number of these stem cell clinical trials are in Phase II and Phase III trials, and technologies that enable autologous (transplants of a patient’s own tissues) stemm cell therapies lead the stem cell transplantations for stem cell treatments of bone marrow disease processes, while the other majority of stem cells under study were focusing on cardiovascular disease processes including PAD (peripheral artery disease), stroke and cardiac or heart disease.

Facilities such as EmCell, located in Kiev, Ukraine, offer treatments and therapies for a variety of medical conditions, and stem cell research and development facilities in Latin America like American Stem Cell in Quinto, Ecuador also offer treatments, and hope, to many.

Stem cell clinical trials are under way in the U.S. and Europe, within Germany and Spain. From treatment of fractures to treatments for Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disease processes, stem cell technologies and research are leading the charge for treatments and cures.

Maintaining healthy, smooth skin involves understanding how the skin functions and how to protect and replenish against the damages of sun exposure, aging, acne, allergic reactions and injuries. It’s that time of year again, when people make new resolutions, promote positive change and most importantly, to defy the aging process!

Dermabrasion and micro-dermabrasion treatments, also known as chemical peeling, involve removing layers of skin to eradicate pitting, scarring, and pigmentation common with those who’ve suffered from acne or sun damage. In such procedures, a variety of chemicals in varying strength can be used to facilitate smoother skin. Common chemical peels include glycolic acid, which is the mildest form of chemical peel agent.

In the United States, most elective procedures and surgeries are not covered by medical insurance plans. The cost of skin care treatments varies widely between procedures. For example, micro-dermabrasion, which is commonly used to help eradicate the signs of crow’s feet, lines, and age spots, costs around $200 per treatment.

Individuals seeking affordable cosmetic surgical or non-surgical procedures to defy wrinkles and age flock to international destinations such as Mexico and Latin American to obtain the best in skin care and age defying treatments and procedures. Locations such as Perfection Medical Spa & Plastic Surgery in Cancun, Mexico or Dr. Tomas Brosto in Buenos Aires, Argentina, combine the best in vacation travel with the best in medical tourism.

For the best in cosmetic surgery in Latin America, or for the best cosmetic surgery clinics in Latin America, the best plastic surgery in Costa Rica or the best plastic surgeons in South America, visit PlacidWay for up-to-date resources and information on everything from rhinoplasty and facial reconstruction to Botox.

As we all know, the cost of medical procedures is rising at a dramatic rate within the United States. Medical malpractice insurance for physicians and surgeons has driven medical costs for consumers through the roof. So, it’s not surprising that people are fighting back, and in an unusual way. A growing trend called medical tourism finds more Americans seeking medical help outside of the country. 

 

Traveling to another country to have a wide variety of procedures done has grown increasingly popular as costs for procedures continue to cause financial hardship and strain. If you haven’t really seriously considered traveling to another country to have your procedure done, you should. Traveling outside of national borders saves patients thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on various surgeries and medical procedures. In some cases, choosing to have surgery abroad costs about a tenth of what you’d pay for the same procedure in the U.S.

 

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, USA, offers medical travel and global medical tourism resources, information and facility descriptions and certification for international travelers seeking affordable yet quality medical care and services.

 

Surgical and medical facilities outside of the United States, including those in Asia, e.g., India, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia, and North American cross border countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Latin America; and Eastern Block/European countries such as Hungary, Norway, Poland, lure growing numbers of medical tourists with the best trained physicians, higher service standards and huge savings.
