Why Rakan

Three things most clinics cannot offer

In-house culture, a needle instead of a scalpel, and research partnerships that hold us to a higher standard. Here is what that means in practice.

Three differences

What we do that most clinics don't

State-of-the-art in-house cell processing facility

01

In-house, licensed CPC

The cell-processing facility that cultures your cells is inside the clinic—not an external lab. That keeps handling, quality documentation, and chain-of-custody under one roof and one medical team.

Incision versus injection comparison

02

Band-aid same day—not surgical harvest

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.

Clinicians working in a lab safety cabinet

03

University-level research partners

Collaborative immunology research and institutional partnerships—including The University of Tokyo—ground our work in peer-reviewed evidence, not marketing claims.

Fat Harvest

Just 0.1g. No scalpel.

Surgical-style fat collection is no longer necessary.

Most adipose stem-cell programs use a scalpel to cut open the abdomen and extract dozens of grams of fat. At Rakan Clinic Tokyo Azabudai, our proprietary micro-culture technique means only 0.1g is needed—collected by needle, completed the same day, no sutures required.

Scalpel incision versus needle collection — side by side

Typical clinic

Scalpel incision — large harvest required

  • Scalpel incision into the abdomen required
  • Decades of grams of fat extracted
  • Sutures and several days of downtime
  • Risk of scarring at harvest site
  • Significant physical burden

Rakan Clinic Tokyo Azabudai

Just 0.1g. No scalpel.

  • Proprietary needle — no scalpel, no incision
  • Only 0.1g collected (≈ 1–2 grains of rice)
  • Same-day procedure, home the same day
  • Just a band-aid — no sutures needed
  • Minimal physical burden

0.1g

With just this tiny sample, we culture a full therapeutic cell dose in our licensed in-house CPC. No scalpel. Completed same day.
