Is a Stellar IV Painful?

A Stellar IV treatment is generally not painful. You may feel a slight pinch when the needle is inserted, but discomfort is minimal and brief. Once the IV is in place, the infusion is painless, and many patients find the experience relaxing.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments needed for Stellar IV treatments can vary based on your goals and skin condition. To achieve optimal results, clients start with three to five sessions spaced a few weeks apart. After the initial treatments, you may schedule maintenance sessions every one to three months to sustain the benefits.

How Long Until I See Results?

When seeing results from your Stellar IV treatment, many patients notice improvements within just a few days. You might experience increased energy levels, enhanced mood, and improved mental clarity shortly after your session. The revitalizing effects can continue to build over the following weeks as your body absorbs the powerful nutrients. Individual experiences can vary, and factors such as your overall health and the specific goals of your treatment play a role in how quickly you’ll see results. Some people may notice gradual improvements in their skin’s appearance and overall wellness, primarily as the treatment supports your body’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. Regular sessions may be recommended for optimal results, allowing you to maintain and enhance the benefits of the Stellar IV therapy.

Can I Combine a Stellar IV With Other Procedures?

Many patients pair it with facials, microneedling, or laser therapies to amplify the rejuvenating effects. The IV provides essential vitamins and hydration that can complement and boost the outcomes of these procedures by nourishing the skin from the inside out.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Stellar IV?

While Stellar IV treatments are generally safe, there are some potential risks. Common side effects include mild soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, infection if proper sterile techniques aren’t followed, and fluid overload may be a concern for those with certain medical conditions. Some patients might experience mild nausea or discomfort, but these effects are typically temporary.

Stellar Anti-Aging IV

STELLAR ANTI-AGING STEM CELL IV

Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells that work in harmony to keep our organs and tissues healthy. Over time, due to aging, injury, or illness, these cells naturally begin to stop working and require replacement through a process called cellular regeneration. This process is driven by our stem cells — unique, “immortal” cells with the remarkable ability to orchestrate the replacement of damaged or aging cells.

When we’re young, our bodies have an abundant supply of stem cells that can efficiently manage the regeneration process and keep our bodies young and healthy. But as we age, our stem cell reservoirs begin to dramatically decline. The result? A gradual buildup of aging and damaged cells that create an environment of chronic inflammation within the body. This insidious process begins to take a physical toll and reveals itself as the visible signs and symptoms of aging – which is often referred to as “inflammaging.”

Many physicians and scientists, including Dr. Motykie, believe aging should not be simply ignored and rather should be considered a treatable disease. This raises an important question: if we do not accept inflammaging as “normal,” can we intervene and change the trajectory of the aging process itself?

As our stem cells reservoirs begin to decline, many people begin to experience symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, decreased libido, joint pain, and an overall sense of diminished vitality. These symptoms are tied to inflammaging, which also plays a role in many age-related disorders including arthritis, dementia, cardiovascular disease, and many more. Traditional pharmaceuticals often act as band-aids — masking symptoms without addressing aging’s underlying cause as well as creating additional unwanted and debilitating side effects of their own.

The Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IV was developed to address one of the root cause of aging at the cellular level: the decline of our own stem cell reservoirs. By replenishing and supporting these critical cells, stem cell IV therapy helps the body to naturally combat chronic inflammation, modulate the immune system, and repair the damage cells that begin to accumulate with age. The benefit is a more direct approach to targeting the root causes of inflammaging which helps the body achieve a more youthful state of homeostasis and overall vitality.

Another important advantage of stem cell therapy is its safety profile. While the potential benefits can be significant, the risks are exceptionally low. After treating vast numbers of patients with stem cells over the past decade, Dr. Motykie has not seen a single patient experience a serious side effect. On the contrary, many of his patients have reported a noticeable improvement in energy, chronic pain, brain fog and overall vitality following their stem cell therapy.

The Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IV is designed for those who want more than a quick fix — it’s for anyone seeking to target aging at its source, optimize their vitality and unlock the body’s own natural potential for youthful regeneration.

STELLAR ANTI-AGING PROGRAM

While stem cells alone can help combat the effects of inflammaging, Dr Motykie understands that the best results come from a comprehensive approach. The Stellar Anti-Aging Program was designed to provide more than just a one-time treatment — it’s a personally tailored, long-term treatment plan created to address the multidimensional process of aging on a cellular level.

The Stellar Antiaging Program combines regularly scheduled Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IVs with select bioactivators and advanced biohacking therapies to further amplify the results of the overall treatment plan. These therapies include the addition of exosomes, NAD+, peptides, hyperbaric oxygen, red light therapy, and a customized daily regimen of high-quality anti-aging supplements. Also included in the treatment plan is laboratory testing to track your biological age and monitor your progress.

Education is also a cornerstone of the Stellar Anti-Aging Program. Dr. Motykie believes one key to longevity and a longer healthspan is for patients to understand that aging is a disease process driven largely by chronic inflammation. By understanding the aging process, patients can take a more active role in addressing their own personal epigenetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that, alongside with their stem cell therapy, can maximize the long-term results of their Stellar Antiaging Program.

The Stellar Anti-Aging Program is designed for those patients who want to take a proactive role in optimizing their own health, vitality, and longevity by combining cutting-edge science, personalized stem cell therapy and biohacking with a custom-tailored plan that targets inflammaging at its cellular core.

Not All Stem Cell Treatments Are Created Equal

The success of any quality Stem Cell IV therapy depends on more than simply receiving stem cells alone. Several key factors influence long-term outcomes from stem cell therapy, including the quality of the stem cells, the delivery method, and the dosage administered.

Just as every treatment is not created equally, neither is every patient. The optimal dose and frequency of proper stem cell therapy varies depending on the condition being treated, the patient’s age, and their individual goals. These variables can have a significant impact on long-term results from therapy, which is why treatment must be thoughtfully administered, carefully evaluated, adjusted routinely and monitored by an experienced stem cell provider.

One other important consideration is the use of bioactivators, or “boosters,” that amplify the effects of the IV stem cell therapy. Many clinics overlook this step, but Dr. Motykie’s approach includes the additional of powerful bioenhancers such as exosomes, NAD+, and peptide therapy. The addition of these bioenhancers helps to maximize the activity and regenerative potential of the administered stem cells, leading to more effective treatment and longer-lasting results.

Why Choose a Stellar Antiaging Stem Cell IV?

The stem cell and regenerative medicine market is expanding quickly, and with that growth comes a flood of confusing — and sometimes misleading — marketing claims. While stem cell therapy is extremely safe and effective when performed by a reputable, experienced physician, it can also be rendered ineffective or even unsafe in less qualified hands.

Dr. Motykie has been providing stem cell therapies to patients for over a decade. His experience ensures that every treatment is delivered at the proper dose and frequency to achieve optimal outcomes. Before beginning therapy, he takes the time to educate each patient, helping them to avoid the common pitfalls and the disappointment of ineffective treatments they may have already experienced elsewhere.

The results speak for themselves. The majority of patients who receive a Stellar Stem Cell IV report noticeable improvements in stamina, vitality, and improvements in their symptoms of inflammaging. Those who participate in the more comprehensive Stellar Anti-Aging Program often experience even greater and longer-lasting benefits.

Each Stellar protocol is fully customized — from the dosage and frequency of stem cells, to the addition of bioactive compounds and advanced biohacking therapies. Regularly scheduled treatments build upon each other over time, delivering more powerful and sustained results.

With Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IV therapy, you can expect a program that is not only safe and effective but also uniquely designed around your personal needs and desires from treatment.

What Stem Cells Are Used in a Stellar Anti-Aging IV?

The Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IV uses umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cells (UDSCs), obtained exclusively from healthy women who voluntarily participate in regulated donation programs. Donations are only accepted after thorough medical screenings, and every stem cell product is extensively tested in accordance with international blood bank standards. This ensures both the safety and quality of the stem cells used in your treatment.

These products are processed under FDA guidelines for 361 HCT/Ps and are intended for homologous use only. Every donor sample undergoes extensive testing. All infectious disease testing is performed in CLIA-certified laboratories in accordance with federal requirements. The manufacturer laboratories that supply these products follow strict quality and safety standards and rigorous tissue procurement and processing protocols. This multilayered approach ensures that every product used in the Stellar IV Protocols meets the highest standards of safety and compliance.

The stem cells are derived from the umbilical cord tissue layer known as Wharton’s Jelly and are carefully processed to maximize the concentration of viable cells. These mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) support the body’s natural healing abilities by secreting powerful bioactive molecules and providing a network of scaffolding proteins, growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix — all essential components for repair and regeneration.

Because UDSCs lack MHC-II surface markers, they are considered hypo-immunogenic, meaning they do not trigger an immune reaction. At the same time, they exert a strong anti-inflammatory effect, reducing inflammatory cytokines and helping to modulate the immune system.

How are the Stem Cells Administered?

All stem cells used in the Stellar Anti-Aging IV are cryopreserved at –80°C and stored in a fully accredited stem cell bank. They are shipped frozen on dry ice and transferred directly into an ultra-low temperature freezer upon arrival. To ensure the highest viability and effectiveness, the cells are only thawed immediately before your treatment.

The umbilical cord–derived stem cells (UDSCs) are administered intravenously (IV), usually through a vein in the arm or hand. The infusion process is quick, comfortable, and essentially painless. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, and there are no serious restrictions afterward. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately following the treatment.

What Are the Benefits of a Stellar IV?

Umbilical cord–derived stem cells (UDSCs) support the body on multiple levels to combat aging and enhance overall wellness. Their key benefits include:

Reducing inflammation – UDSCs have natural anti-inflammatory properties that help calm chronic inflammation linked to aging.
Modulating the immune system – They help rebalance immune responses, supporting healthier function.
Stimulating regeneration – UDSCs assist the body in repairing and renewing damaged or aging cells.

In addition to these cellular-level benefits, many patients report noticeable improvements after treatment, including:

Increased energy and stamina
Clearer focus and mental clarity
A greater sense of vitality and overall well-being
If signs of aging/inflammaging are already present, patients also report an improvement in their symptoms over time

The result? A targeted reduction in the signs and symptoms of inflammaging — with the goal of achieving a more youthful, vital, and revitalized version of yourself.

You Don’t Have to Leave the Country for Stem Cell Therapy

Many people are surprised to learn that you can receive advanced stem cell therapy right here in the United States. There’s no need to travel to Mexico, Panama, Europe, or other countries when the highest-quality treatments are available without leaving home.

One of the key differences is quality standards. In the U.S., stem cell products are carefully regulated and must meet strict safety guidelines. By contrast, some clinics abroad are permitted to use expanded stem cells — a process known to reduce stem cell quality and effectiveness, while also increasing the risk of potential side effects.

All Stellar Antiging IVs utilize only non-expanded, umbilical cord–derived stem cells (UDSCs). These have been shown to be more effective, safer, and better at supporting your body’s natural regenerative processes. Don’t be misled by clinics advertising “hundreds of millions” of cells per treatment. In stem cell therapy, more is not always better — and in fact, large numbers of over-expanded, less viable cells may reduce results and raise the risk of complications. High-quality, potent cells in the appropriate dose are far more effective than inflated numbers of low-quality cells.

By choosing Stellar Stem Cell IV therapy in the U.S., you not only receive the benefit of superior safety and quality, but you also avoid the expense, stress, and inconvenience of traveling abroad. These advantages become even greater when you participate in the Stellar Antiaging Program, which offers multiple treatments, laboratory testing to track your progress, and access to adjunct bioenhancing therapies at regularly scheduled intervals.

How Much Does a Stellar IV Cost?

The cost of a Stellar Anti-Aging Stem Cell IV can vary depending on your customized formulation and the frequency of treatments recommended for your individual plan. A stand-alone treatment typically ranges from $5,500 – $6,500, with final pricing determined by your own personally developed protocol. The Stellar Antiaging Program offers packaged protocols which include regularly scheduled Stem Cell treatments that are more cost efficient over time. Because each plan is tailored to your unique goals, the best way to receive accurate pricing is to contact Dr. Motykie’s office directly.
