From first consultation to treatment day: what gets checked and how to prepare

The general sequence when considering a Basic Cell programme at Bong Bong Wellness Clinic

Quick answer

Considering a Basic Cell programme at Bong Bong Wellness Clinic generally starts with a doctor's consultation to assess symptoms and goals, followed by telomere testing (a genetic marker of cellular ageing) and any necessary baseline health checks. The doctor then plans a course, which may include same-day blood or fat sampling using the clinic's blood-based cell kit — allowing some cases to complete treatment in a single day, though every step still requires medical evaluation first.

Key facts

Step 1
Doctor consultation, symptom/goal review
Step 2
Baseline telomere (genetic) test
Step 3
Blood/fat sampling, targeted injection
Typical timing
Same-day possible with the blood kit
Follow-up
Compare pre/post results over 3–4 sessions

Step 1: consultation

The first step is a doctor's consultation, ideally a face-to-face or pre-travel remote conversation through the clinic's channel, so the doctor understands symptoms, health history, current medications, and the specific goal — general anti-ageing, knee recovery, or skin care. This information shapes which programme gets recommended next.

Step 2: telomere testing

The next step is telomere testing — a genetic test measuring telomere length in immune cells as a marker of cellular ageing. The clinic uses this as a baseline before treatment and the same measure to track outcomes after a 3–4 session course. If the result does not show clear accelerated ageing, the doctor may suggest starting with other basic programmes instead.

Step 3: sampling and injection

If Basic Cell is chosen, the clinic uses a blood-based cell kit that shortens the older fat-extraction method's roughly two-week wait down to same-day treatment. The resulting Basic Cell mix combines autologous adipose-derived, autologous blood-derived and donor adipose-derived cells, and the doctor then injects around 100 million cells per session directly into the affected site.

Add-ons during the treatment day

During the treatment day, add-on programmes such as HBOT, negative-pressure circulation care, or lymphatic care may be included as the doctor judges appropriate. Patients should ask in advance which add-ons are part of the core plan versus optional extras, to plan accurately how much time each clinic day will take.

Follow-up

After treatment, the clinic typically schedules follow-up to compare before-and-after measures, such as telomere results or the original clinical target symptom. Thai patients should ask whether follow-up can be done remotely or requires returning in person to the clinic.

Summary of the sequence

Overall, this sequence is designed to keep a doctor's evaluation at every decision point — from choosing the programme, to the cell dose, to injection sites. Patients who arrive with clear health information and goals help the entire process run tighter and more accurately.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is telomere testing required every time?

    It is generally used as a baseline and follow-up marker, but the doctor may adjust based on individual need.

  • Is same-day treatment always possible?

    Not always — it depends on the chosen programme and doctor's assessment; the blood kit shortens timing in many but not all cases.

  • What documents should I prepare before the consultation?

    Health history, current medications, any related test results, and details of the symptom or goal you want to discuss.
