hUC-WJ-MSCs and MSC-derived exosomes, a highly potent, ethically sourced cell source.

Every treatment is overseen by a fully licensed and insured doctor.
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses your body’s own repair system to calm inflammation and rebuild damaged tissue. Instead of removing tissue the way traditional surgery does, stem cell injections deliver specialized cells that migrate to the injured area and go to work from within.
Here is how stem cell therapy works: once injected or infused, these cells help reduce inflammation, stimulate new blood vessel formation, and release growth factors that signal nearby cells to divide, grow, and repair. For many patients this means a non-surgical path to less pain and better function.
There are currentlyno FDA-approvedstem cell therapies, which is exactly why a licensed physician reviews every case before we ever recommend one.

Targeted mesenchymal stem cell therapy for painful joints and soft tissue, delivered by a regenerative medicine specialist.
MSC-derived exosomes that support cell communication and tissue repair, often combined with stem cells.
A systemic regenerative option when appropriate for your case.
Regenerative orthopedics focused on the root cause of pain, not just symptoms.
Every case is evaluated individually, here are the areas patients most often ask us about.
Targeted, minimally invasive injections, a path many patients consider before surgery.
One of the most common reasons patients come to us. For arthritis, cartilage wear, and overuse injuries, targeted injections aim to reduce inflammation and support repair, an alternative many consider before knee replacement surgery.
For chronic low back pain, sciatica, and disc-related discomfort, stem cell injections may help calm the inflamed tissue driving your pain, with faster recovery and less downtime than open surgery.
With deep podiatry roots, Skylake also treats foot, ankle, and heel pain, from plantar and tendon problems to arthritic toe joints, an area our foot-and-ankle team knows well.
Non-surgical, minimally invasive, reduced risk of bleeding or scarring, faster return to normal activity, and treatment tailored to your history. Individual outcomes vary, and a physician review determines whether you are a candidate.
Some patients report changes within the first week; for others the recovery timeline runs several weeks. We set realistic expectations at your consultation.
Compared with surgery, cortisone shots, or ongoing pain medication, regenerative injections aim to support healing at the source rather than only masking symptoms.
Skylake uses ethically sourced human umbilical cord Wharton’s Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-WJ-MSCs), a highly potent, immunoprivileged “Age-De Novo” cell source with a high capacity for self-renewal. Alongside them we use MSC-derived exosomes: regenerative vesicles that carry signals between cells, modulate the immune response, and support anti-inflammatory repair.
Unlike autologous approaches such as prolotherapy or injections that harvest bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue from the patient, our umbilical cord stem cell therapy uses cells ethically sourced from donated umbilical cords after healthy live births, exclusively from qualified US donors and from facilities that are FDA-registered and AABB-accredited. Skylake does not use embryonic stem cells or cells from aborted tissue, peripheral blood, or bone marrow. Every donation undergoes rigorous screening and extensive MSC testing for the safest possible care.

We believe honest answers build trust. There are currentlyno FDA-approved stem cell therapies, and more research is needed to define the ideal dose and method for each condition. That is why physician screening matters.
Effective July 1, 2025, Florida’sStem Cell Therapy Actallows board-licensed physicians to provide stem cell therapies outside FDA-approved trials, provided they follow strict safety standards and use cells from FDA-registered, AABB-accredited facilities. The law prohibits embryonic stem cells and focuses on non-controversial sources like donated umbilical cords, exactly the standard Skylake follows.
Does stem cell therapy work?Evidence is still developing, and no honest clinic can promise a cure. What we can say: many patients experience less pain and better function, while outcomes vary by person and condition. That is exactly why a physician evaluates whether it is likely to help in your case.
Is it safe?There have been no reported negative side effects from the stem cell and exosome treatments performed at Skylake, and most patients have a positive outcome with no complications. Rigorous donor screening and extensive MSC testing support the safest possible care. As with any procedure, your physician will discuss potential risks and whether you are a good candidate.Outcomes vary and are never guaranteed.
There is no single set price, cost depends on the treatment type, the area treated, and whether stem cells, exosomes, or an IV protocol are recommended. Stem cell therapy is self-pay and is not covered by insurance; a team member reviews all costs with you before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
No anti-inflammatory medications for at least 6 weeks, no alcohol or recreational drugs for at least 2 weeks, rest for the first 24-48 hours without lying completely sedentary, and light activity within 4-6 days.
Regenerative care does not end when you leave the office. We guide you through recovery and check on your progress, symptoms, and function over time.
