We’re here to help you make an informed, confident decision. Below are answers to common questions about EXM therapy, from how it works to what to expect.
1. What is EXM therapy?
EXM (Expanded Matrix) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses amniotic-derived extracellular matrix to support the body’s natural healing process. It’s designed to help with inflammation, pain, and tissue repair by introducing growth factors and bioactive molecules that support cellular regeneration.
2. Do you use embryonic tissue?
No. EXM therapy does not use embryonic tissue. The matrix is derived from donated placental tissue following full-term, healthy births. All donations are obtained with full consent and processed according to the highest safety standards.
3. Is it safe?
Yes. EXM therapy is non-invasive, rigorously tested, and considered safe when administered by trained professionals. The tissue is thoroughly screened, sterilized, and processed to ensure safety and minimize any risk of immune reaction.
4. Is this compliant in the United States?
Yes. EXM therapy is compliant with FDA regulations under Section 361, which governs the use of minimally manipulated human tissue products. Our team follows all required protocols for sourcing, handling, and administering the treatment.
5. What’s the difference between this and what I can get outside the U.S.?
Outside the U.S., similar therapies may involve expanded stem cells, which are not currently FDA-approved for use domestically.
EXM therapy uses minimally manipulated products, making it compliant and available in the U.S., with safety and oversight that meet American regulatory standards.
6. Do you have to match blood types from the donor?
No. Since EXM is acellular and immune-privileged, there’s no need for blood type matching. The components do not contain live cells and are unlikely to trigger immune rejection.
7. How can EXM therapy benefit me?
EXM therapy may help:
•Reduce inflammation
•Accelerate healing
•Alleviate chronic pain
•Support joint, tendon, or soft tissue repair
It’s often used by people recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or seeking improved mobility and quality of life.
8. Is it considered a performance-enhancing drug?
No. EXM is a regenerative therapy, not a drug or banned substance. It does not contain hormones or stimulants and is not classified as performance-enhancing under athletic or regulatory guidelines.
9. How long before I start to see results?
Some patients notice improvement within a few days, while others may experience benefits over several weeks. Healing time varies depending on your condition, overall health, and response to treatment.
10. How does this compare to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
Both therapies support healing, but they differ:
•PRP uses your own blood and may have lower concentrations of growth factors.
•EXM provides a broader matrix of biologically active proteins and signaling molecules.
EXM may offer a stronger, faster response for some patients, especially those with chronic or complex conditions.
11. How much does it cost?
Costs can vary depending on your treatment plan and the area being treated. While EXM therapy is not typically covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Our team will provide a detailed quote during your consultation.
12. How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from just one treatment, but in some cases, a series of treatments may be recommended. This depends on your individual goals and condition severity.
13. Is the treatment painful?
EXM therapy is minimally invasive and typically involves little to no pain. Some patients may feel mild discomfort during or after the injection, but this usually resolves quickly.
14. How do I get started?
We make it simple:
•Schedule a consultation
•Meet with a provider to assess if EXM is right for you
•Begin treatment with a customized plan
Our friendly team will walk you through every step and ensure all your questions are answered.
