Stem cell therapy uses cells that can renew themselves and release signals that influence repair and inflammation. In wellness and aesthetic medicine, stem cells are given by IV infusion or by local injection into the face or scalp. Charisma offers these treatments under medical supervision, with honest guidance on what current evidence supports.

What Is Stem Cell IV Therapy?
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are given into a vein through a slow infusion. Rather than turning into new organs, most of their effect is thought to come from the signals they release, which can help regulate inflammation and support tissue repair. This is why they are used in regenerative and longevity programmes.
Types of Stem Cells Used
- Umbilical cord-derived MSCs — donated tissue processed in licensed labs; widely used in wellness IV protocols.
- Autologous cells — from your own fat or bone marrow; used in some clinical settings.
Your doctor explains the source, cell count and lab documentation for the product used.
Stem Cell Options at Charisma
- Stem cell IV infusions — offered in different cell counts depending on your goals and assessment.
- Stem cell injections for the face — to support collagen, texture and skin repair.
- Stem cell injections for the scalp — to support follicles in thinning hair.
Who May Consider Stem Cell Therapy?
- Healthy-ageing and longevity programmes.
- Recovery support — after intense training or injury, as an adjunct to standard care.
- Skin and hair regeneration.
- Chronic fatigue and low vitality — after medical causes are investigated.
Stem cell therapy is not a replacement for standard treatment of diseases. Patients with serious medical conditions should continue care with their specialists.
Who Should Not Have Stem Cell Therapy?
- Active cancer — or recent cancer history without specialist approval.
- Active infection.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Uncontrolled medical conditions.
Is Stem Cell Therapy Regulated in the UAE?
Stem cell products in the UAE must be sourced and used according to health authority regulations. Some stem cell uses are approved only within clinical settings, and wellness use is not the same as an approved treatment for a specific disease. Charisma provides documentation for the product and explains its intended use.
What Happens During a Stem Cell IV Session
- Consultation and screening — medical history, blood tests and consent.
- Preparation — the product is checked and prepared.
- Infusion — a slow IV drip, usually 1 to 2 hours.
- Monitoring — blood pressure, pulse and comfort checked throughout.
- Post-infusion review — and follow-up plan.
Stem Cell IV vs Exosome IV vs NAD+ IV
- Stem cell IV — living cells that release signalling molecules.
- Exosome IV — cell-free vesicles carrying signals.
- NAD+ IV — a coenzyme for cellular energy.
Your doctor recommends one or a combination depending on goals and health status.
Realistic Expectations and Timeline
Some patients report better energy or recovery within weeks; skin and hair effects develop over 2 to 3 months. Responses vary, and research on many wellness uses is still developing.
Aftercare
- Hydrate well.
- Rest on the day of infusion.
- Report fever, rash or unusual symptoms promptly.
