Stem cells can be obtained from adipose tissue (fat), bone marrow, or peripheral blood. The best source depends on the patient’s age, body composition, condition being treated, and goals of therapy. The treating physician determines
the optimal approach for each case. The procedure is performed under local
anesthesia and is well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime.

Most procedures are done with local anesthesia and light sedation if needed. Some procedures, particularly those involving deeper joint or spine injections, may require mild or moderate sedation, but general anesthesia is not necessary.

Extraction typically takes 30–45 minutes, and processing another 60–90 minutes
depending on the protocol. In most cases, treatment is completed the same day.

Yes. For most patients, both extraction and treatment occur on the same day at
Evoque Labs.

All procedures are performed or directly supervised by Dr. Carlos De La Hoz, MD, a triple board-certified physician in Anesthesiology, Interventional Pain Management, and Regenerative Medicine. Virtual consultations are available for both local and out-of-state patients.

We recommend avoiding NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) and alcohol for several days before the procedure. Staying hydrated, eating a clean diet, and maintaining good sleep all enhance cell quality. Specific guidance will be provided during
your consultation.

A follow-up is typically recommended within 2–4 weeks to assess progress and results. Additional follow-ups are scheduled as needed.

Many patients experience improvement after just one session. Healing and regeneration continue for several months, with full benefits often visible around 3–6 months post-treatment. Some conditions may benefit from a second session.

Recovery is typically minimal. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours. Mild soreness or bruising at the harvest or injection site is possible but temporary.

Because we use your own cells, risks are very low. Mild swelling, bruising, or soreness can occur. Serious complications are rare when performed by trained professionals.

Patients with active cancer, severe infections, or uncontrolled medical conditions may not be good candidates. A medical evaluation ensures each patient’s safety and eligibility.

Stem cell procedures are not recommended during pregnancy. We advise
waiting until after delivery and medical clearance.

Facial rejuvenation typically ranges from $4,500–$6,500, while pain management procedures range from $6,000–$8,500, depending on the number of areas treated and complexity.

Yes. Harvesting and injection are billed separately. The harvesting fee generally starts around $1,000–$1,500, depending on volume and intended use.

Yes. Microneedling with stem cell lysate starts around $1,200–$1,500, and IV regenerative infusions start around $650, with options like NAD+, antioxidants, or stem cell support formulations.

We offer NAD+, amino acid, antioxidant, and longevity support blends that complement stem cell recovery and overall cellular health.

Yes. We partner with select medical financing providers to make regenerative treatments more accessible. Flexible payment plans are available.

Both sources are effective, but adipose (fat-derived) stem cells tend to yield a higher number of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and are easier to collect. However, research suggests that in patients under 65 years of age or those with
low body fat, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) may offer higher-quality regenerative potential for orthopedic and musculoskeletal applications. At Evoque Labs, both methods are available and selected based on patient age,
body composition, and clinical goals.

At Evoque Labs, we use your own (autologous) stem cells because they are living, biologically matched, and free from immune or infectious risks. Many allogenic products marketed as “umbilical cord stem cells” actually contain no
viable cells, and quality control is inconsistent. Studies have found that some of these products can be contaminated or contain only growth factors without living regenerative cells. Using your own cells ensures safety, purity, and consistent results supported by clinical evidence.

When cryopreserved properly, stem cells can remain viable for decades, maintaining their regenerative potential for future use.

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for combined procedures or out-of-state patients.

Procedures are performed in our accredited medical facility in Florida, equipped with a sterile laboratory and advanced imaging and processing systems.

Most patients can travel the next day, but for convenience and monitoring, we recommend staying locally for 24–48 hours post-procedure.

Evoque Labs adheres to strict FDA-compliant protocols for autologous (your own) cell use and maintains sterile, medical-grade laboratory standards. All equipment and processes meet U.S. regulatory and ethical guidelines.

Muse cells are a specific type of stress-enduring stem cell identified in research. While promising in early studies, they are not yet clinically available for patients. Evoque Labs focuses on evidence-based, proven autologous methods currently
supported by human data.

Under new Florida regulations, advanced stem cell procedures can now be performed legally and safely in state-licensed centers. Patients benefit from U.S. safety standards, medical oversight, and the ability to follow up locally—all without the uncertainty of medical tourism.

Typically 50–100cc of fat or 30–60cc of bone marrow is sufficient, depending on the treatment area and patient goals.

Yes. Evoque Labs offers cryopreservation so your stem cells can be securely stored for future treatments, allowing you to access younger, healthier cells as you age.
