Documents, timelines, number of trips and what to prepare
Quick answer
For Thai patients, treatment at EHL Bio usually means two trips: the first for assessment and fat harvesting, then roughly 4-6 weeks of culture, then a second trip for the infusions. Recent blood work and imaging must be reviewed by the medical team before any booking.
Prepare blood work no older than three months (CBC, liver and kidney function), infectious disease screening (HBV, HCV, HIV, syphilis) and a full medication list. The team uses these both to judge suitability and to clear you for the local anaesthesia used during fat harvesting.
The first trip typically runs 3-5 days: consultation, additional testing and a small fat harvest from the abdomen or thigh. You can fly home afterwards, and the hospital reports on the progress of your cell lot while it is in culture.
The second trip is the infusion phase, and the number of sessions depends on the disease and its stage. Some programmes are a single dose; others — chronic kidney care, for example — commonly recommend three or more under a physician's plan. Ask upfront how many sessions the quoted price covers and whether annual cell storage is billed separately.
Usually 3-5 days, since fat harvesting is a minor procedure without a long inpatient stay.
Yes — cryopreserved in the centre's cell bank, so later rounds skip a new harvest, though annual storage fees apply.
