Why Rakan
In-house CPC culture, minimally invasive collection, and university-level research—three reasons international guests choose Azabudai.
The same licensed cell-processing facility that cultures your cells sits in-clinic—not outsourced—so handling, documentation, and release stay under one roof.
Learn what makes Rakan great
Collaborative immunology research and institutional partnerships—including The University of Tokyo—ground our work in evidence, not stock gloss.
Learn what makes Rakan great
Needle-based adipose collection—not the incision most stem-cell programs require—so many guests leave the same day with just a band-aid. Our in-house CPC is what makes that possible.
Learn what makes Rakan greatOur programs
Each program is built around your biology, your goals, and your travel window.
Cultured adipose-derived cells delivered intravenously for whole-body regenerative effect.
Ultrasound-guided intra-articular delivery targeting cartilage repair and inflammation.
IV infusion combined with targeted joint injections for patients seeking comprehensive renewal.
Understanding the therapy
A plain-language overview before you read timelines or pricing. Nothing here replaces a physician evaluation.
Typical flow
Two Tokyo visits with a culture window in between—not a single seven-day package. Your physician sets exact dates after labs, imaging, and CPC release.
Pricing
Two separate therapies—choose one or both. Each has its own pricing.
IV drip · Systemic · bloodstream
Cells delivered through an IV into your bloodstream—for whole-body recovery and wellness.
Systemic wellness, fatigue, anti-aging · IV drip · monitored infusion

SINGLE SESSION
Adipose tissue collection and cell cultivation are performed each time. No cryopreservation. No blood test monitoring.

Clinical context
Culture-expanded adipose-derived therapy is constrained in much of the United States today. Japan operates these therapies under strict national CPC rules—documentation, consent, and chain-of-custody are paramount.
Rakan Clinic pairs JOA-certified orthopedic leadership with licensed processing. Programs are paced so international guests know what completes in-country and what may require a later visit—before they commit.
Orthopedic leadership, immunology research depth, and regenerative execution—coordinated for international guests in Azabudai Hills.

Common questions from international patients. Ask our coordinators anything not listed.
We offer cultured adipose-derived stem cell therapy (IV and joint injection), PRP therapy, exosome infusions, and NMN/NAD+ IV drips. All treatments are performed by JOA-certified orthopedic specialists under Japan's Act on Regenerative Medicine.
Eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis. We review your medical history, imaging, and current symptoms during a remote consultation before you travel. Common candidates include those with knee osteoarthritis, sports injuries, shoulder or hip pain, and spinal conditions.
Yes—under the national regenerative medicine framework with CPC licensing and a registered treatment plan. Ethics review and MHLW disclosure are prerequisites. Our facility operates under full PMDA compliance.
IV stem cell programs start from $25,000 for a single session. Joint injection programs start from $11,000. Multi-session packages offer lower per-session rates. All pricing is line-item transparent after physician sign-off.
Most IV-focused programs conclude in five to seven days—consultation, fat harvest, culture window, and infusion. Expanded-cell protocols sometimes require a short harvesting visit followed by a return trip for reinfusion. We confirm the schedule before you book flights.
All procedures use your own cells (autologous), eliminating rejection risk. Potential side effects are minimal—mild discomfort or bruising at the harvest site is the most common. Every patient undergoes comprehensive pre-treatment screening, and all procedures are performed by board-certified surgeons in a fully equipped facility.
Many clinics reinject same-day concentrates without culture. Our in-house CPC expands cells over one to two weeks, delivering a defined, high-dose therapeutic product—roughly 100 million cells per IV infusion when indicated. Culture also allows for quality and sterility testing before administration.
Yes. Some itineraries combine both modalities; others use only one. Pricing is presented line-by-line after the physician has reviewed your case.
Our English-speaking coordinators handle pre-travel screening, visa letters if needed, hotel recommendations near Azabudai Hills, airport transfer arrangements, and daily communication throughout your stay. We are 20 minutes from Haneda Airport.
Many patients report initial improvements within two to four weeks. Full regenerative benefit typically develops over three to six months as cells continue to work. We schedule structured tele-review windows at 2, 6, and 12 weeks post-treatment, with imaging upload workflows and written rehab guidance.
Structured tele-review windows (2, 6, and 12 weeks), secure imaging upload, and written rehabilitation guidance. Your local physician can coordinate with our team directly.
Yes. Many international patients combine stem cell therapy with PRP, exosome infusions, and NMN/NAD+ drips during their Tokyo stay. Our physicians design a comprehensive protocol around your goals and available days.

Areas of focus
Choose a theme to start the conversation. These are planning tracks—not a guaranteed bundle. Your signed plan follows CPC rules, your exam, and physician judgment.
01
Regenerate
Measured baselines and IV pacing you can recover from—never a tourist checklist of infusions.
Wellness programsAt Rakan, we work with culture-expanded adipose-derived cells—your own fat tissue collected by needle, expanded in our in-clinic CPC, then returned as IV infusion and/or ultrasound-guided joint delivery when your signed plan allows.
Guests often explore therapy for joint pain and MSK recovery, post-injury rehabilitation, and longevity goals when labs and imaging support a regenerative approach—not as a guaranteed cure or a one-size package.
Active infection, certain malignancies, pregnancy, or the expectation that everything finishes in one short trip are common reasons to pause or choose a different path. Coordinators and physicians say no when medicine requires it.
