International patients
Your Treatment Journey, Simplified
We organise the medical and practical side of your visit so you can focus on your recovery. Depending on your protocol, some treatments may need only one day of in-person care at the clinic.
01Before you travel
An online consultation, from home: the doctor reviews your history and imaging and confirms whether you are a candidate.
02Planning your visit
Your coordinator helps with dates, hotel and airport transfers, and sends you one written plan.
- 03
Clinical care
Your treatment at the hospital, with time for preparation and observation. Some protocols fit into a single day.
- 04
Aftercare support
You are never on your own: we stay with you, with ongoing care and follow-up on your progress.
The number of days depends on each patient’s protocol and is confirmed by the treating physician. A single day of care is not guaranteed for every case.
Quality & origin
Know Where Your Cells Come From
Stemlife works with mesenchymal stem cells extracted from Wharton’s jelly, the gel-like tissue inside the umbilical cord. Before they reach a patient, the cells go through laboratory quality controls.
- Origin
- Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord, obtained after a healthy birth.
- Extraction
- Mesenchymal cells are extracted from Wharton’s jelly in the laboratory.
- Laboratory controls
- Cells are tested under the laboratory’s quality protocol before release.
- Ready for you
- Prepared in a sealed vial for the protocol your doctor designs.

People who travelled to Guadalajara and got back what pain had taken from them.
“What I valued most was that they reviewed my MRI before talking about dates. No pressure at any point.”
“Honestly I was nervous about traveling for this. Clara checked on me the whole day and that made all the difference.”

No cost, no commitment
Take the first step: your medical assessment is free.
Before we call you, a physician reviews your history. On that call, we’ll:
- Answer your questions
- Assess whether you are a candidate for regenerative therapy
- Explain the protocol, realistic outcomes and next steps
- Give you a cost breakdown and explain what affects the price
Submitting the form does not mean starting treatment. It lets our physicians decide whether further evaluation is appropriate.

Questions
Your questions, answered.
How do I know if I’m a candidate?
Send us your diagnosis and recent imaging. A physician reviews your case and tells you on the first call — before you book any flight. If you are not a candidate, we tell you.
How long do I need to stay in Mexico?
Two to three days. You arrive, receive your treatment in a single day, and can fly home the next day.
How much does treatment cost?
Treatment protocols start from $5,000 USD. Your final investment is confirmed after an individual medical evaluation, in one written plan that includes logistics.
Where is the procedure performed?
At Hospital Puerta de Hierro Andares in Guadalajara, Mexico. The clinic is at Plaza Corporativa Zapopan, 6th floor.
Does stem cell therapy cure my condition?
No. Regenerative therapy does not cure the conditions described here. Its goal is less pain and better mobility; individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Do you speak English?
Yes. The whole team works in English and Spanish, and we reply within one business day.
You’re in expert hands.
