Why Stem Cells
Potent mesenchymal stem cells supports tissue repair, boosts your immunity, and revitalizes your overall wellness, empowering you to age gracefully and live vibrantly.

Studies in aging models show that stem cell therapies can lead to measurable reductions in biological age and improvements in organ and tissue function.
Unlike conventional medicine that manages symptoms, stem cell therapy activates your body’s repair systems. From joint health to immune balance and skin rejuvenation, the therapy restores vitality by regenerating cells and reducing systemic inflammation.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are an example of ‘adult’ Stem Cells. They are ‘multipotent’, meaning that they can differentiate into many different types of cells and tissues.
Stem cells are considered safe and hold therapeutic potential for many disorders due to their restorative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties that aid regeneration of skin, muscle, cartilage, and bone.
‘Inflamm-ageing’—a rise in systemic inflammation—is a key feature of ageing, marked by high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines that predict mortality and are linked to reduced muscle mass, impaired organ function, and weakened immunity.
MSCs help counter this by reducing cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1, and CRP through the release of growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes containing peptides, proteins, and micro-RNAs that together exert immunomodulatory effects.
Types of stem cells
1
Autologous Stem Cells
Autologous stem cells are derived from your own adipose tissue (fat). These remarkable cells are your body’s natural repair system.
2
Allogenic Stem Cells
For an additional boost, allogenic stem cells, sourced from carefully screened and matched donors, offer a fresh pool of regenerative cells to support your body’s renewal process.
Key benefits
Stem cells don’t just replace damaged cells — they release growth factors and signals that repair, restore, and regenerate tissues.
Stem cells act like the body’s natural repair system. They home in on areas of damage or inflammation, delivering regenerative signals that trigger healing and new cell growth. This is why stem cell therapy has broad applications across both wellness and aesthetics.
Tissue Repair & Regeneration
Stem cells differentiate into cartilage, bone, or skin cells to heal damage.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
They release bioactive molecules that calm chronic inflammation.
Immune Modulation

Stem cells rebalance the immune system, reducing autoimmunity and overactive responses.
Collagen & Elastin Boost
Stimulates fibroblasts in the skin for improved tone, elasticity, and repair.
Systemic Vitality

Reviews
What our members are saying
Have questions? We’re here to help.
Is Stem Cell Therapy safe?
Yes. At Shookra, stem cell therapy is performed using ethically sourced, laboratory-certified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under international clinical standards. These cells are non-embryonic, immune-privileged, and thoroughly tested for sterility and viability. The procedure is minimally invasive, with a very low risk of adverse reactions.
How long does it take to see results?
Results depend on the condition being treated and the individual’s health profile. Some patients notice improvements in energy, inflammation, or pain within a few weeks, while deeper regenerative effects — such as tissue or joint repair — may continue to develop over 3 to 6 months as the cells integrate and stimulate healing.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients undergo one to three sessions, depending on treatment goals. Chronic or degenerative conditions may benefit from a booster session every 6 to 12 months. Your doctor will personalize a treatment plan based on diagnostics and response.
How long do results last?
The regenerative effects can last 12 to 24 months, or longer, depending on your overall health, lifestyle, and follow-up care. Many clients combine stem cell therapy with lifestyle medicine, NAD+ IVs, or exosome protocols to maintain long-term results.
What should you expect post-treatment?
Stem cell infusions and injections are typically well tolerated. After treatment, you can expect mild fatigue or sensitivity at the injection site (if localized). Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Our team provides detailed post-care guidelines to optimize healing.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare. Some clients may experience temporary soreness, mild fever, or inflammation as the body initiates its healing response. All procedures are monitored by medical staff, and any reactions typically resolve within a few days.
Who is not a candidate for Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is not recommended for:
- Individuals with active cancer, uncontrolled infections, or autoimmune flare-ups
- Those pregnant or breastfeeding
- Patients with severe blood disorders or recent organ transplants A consultation and medical review are required to ensure eligibility and safety.
Where do the stem cells come from?
Shookra uses allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells derived from donor umbilical cord tissue, ethically collected and processed in GMP-certified laboratories. These cells are screened, purified, and tested before clinical use to meet the highest safety and ethical standards.
Is the treatment painful?
IV infusions are generally painless, performed with a fine medical cannula. Localized injections (for joints, skin, or scalp) may involve mild discomfort, which is minimized using topical numbing and precise medical technique.
Can Stem Cell Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes — stem cell therapy can be safely combined with exosome infusions, PRF treatments, NAD+ IVs, and longevity medicine programs for enhanced outcomes. Your physician will design an integrated plan based on your specific wellness goals.
When should I repeat the therapy?
For preventative or anti-aging goals, most clients repeat a maintenance session every 12 months. For chronic inflammation or joint repair, a follow-up at 6 months may be advised.
Will I need downtime?
No significant downtime is required. Patients can return to work or daily routines immediately after IV therapy or within a day of localized injections.
When can I exercise after treatment?
Light movement can resume the next day, but avoid strenuous workouts or heat exposure for 48 hours post-treatment to allow optimal cellular integration.
Is Stem Cell Therapy approved?
Stem cell therapy is considered an advanced regenerative procedure. While not yet FDA-approved for all applications, it is widely practiced in leading longevity clinics worldwide under strict medical oversight, including in Dubai.
