The Revolution of Regenerative Medicine- Stem Cell Surgery and SVFThe Stem Cell SVF Technolgoy Advance in Medicine Author: Germantownaesthetics
Gregory Laurence, MD introduces cell surgery and explains the purpose of this podcast series addressing the role of the use of stem cell and stromal vascular fraction. Regenerative medicine, in its broadest definition, includes: Nutrition, risk avoidance, exercise, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), platelet rich plasma (PRP), and cell surgery (the topic of this series). There is much confusion regarding the cellular area of regenerative medicine. It has not been fully determined which cell sources are the most effective. Choices from ones own body (autologous) include: peripheral, bone marrow, and adipose-derived. Other "off-the-shelf" options are also available for therapeutic use. Dr. Laurence is the Founder of Germantown Aesthetics and Complete Medical Care Germantown near Memphis, TN. Dr. Laurence received his undergraduate and doctorate degrees from Baylor University and the University of Texas at Houston Medical School. Dr. Laurence fulfilled his initial specialty training at Saint Francis Family Medicine at the University of Tennessee. As a longstanding member and recent president of the American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery, Dr. Laurence has worked with adipose tissue as a breast and body grafting technique. He has expanded the traditional use of technology and pioneered several innovative, minimally invasive surgical techniques. Dr. Laurence has represented the industry by being involved with overseas promotion of a medical device. He is one of the few certified faculty teaching platelet rich plasma (PRP) Vampire procedures and other regenerative medicine procedures. Contact the staff at www.lasermemphis.com or 901-624-5605.

Episode 9 (9 of 9): Your doctor needs to be your advocate for the best Stem Cell approach
Wednesday, 22 March, 2017
The Revolution of Regenerative Medicine: Dr. Laurence discusses his motivation for pursuing competency in the area of cell surgery. For nearly a decade he has removed fat tissue for the purpose of improving cosmetic appearance, or removed for grafting to other areas of the body. An incurable lung disease diagnosis in his father, as well as his witnessed clinical experience of several of his patients (in this roundtable discussion), was the “final straw" as he observed this emerging technology for the last four years. Dr. Laurence saw, as he pursued competence in this area, that there were multiple specialties who were embracing this technology. While there are these physicians who are motivated to find better solutions for difficult-to-treat conditions, others clearly feel threatened that this effective emerging technology might invalidate traditional approaches. Dr. Laurence asserts that cell surgery is complementary to approved drugs and natural remedies. It is important to understand how economic considerations drive treatment decisions. Physicians are obligated to advocate for patients through recommendations based on the best information available. This is the conclusion of a nine part podcast providing general information for this emerging area of medicine. Regenerative Medicine, in part, includes, the use of cells and tissue factors which can be deployed from one area of the body to another to potentially heal areas of the body that have undergone cellular damage.
