  • Adults interested in regenerative treatment, after a consultation and a review of their health history with Dr. Solomon.

What Is Wharton's Jelly Stem Cell Therapy?

Wharton’s Jelly is a gelatinous tissue found in the umbilical cord and one of the richest known sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells have exceptional anti-inflammatory properties, the ability to signal tissue repair, and a proven safety profile with decades of clinical research.
At Afterglow, we use ethically sourced, rigorously screened Wharton’s Jelly-derived stem cells to support joint health, reduce systemic inflammation, and promote deep regenerative healing.

Why Wharton's Jelly?

Wharton’s Jelly MSCs are young, highly potent, and immunoprivileged – meaning they don’t trigger an immune reaction even when donor and recipient are different individuals. This makes them exceptionally versatile and well-tolerated.

What to Expect

Treatment is performed as a targeted injection or IV infusion. Sessions take 30–90 minutes. Most patients experience little to no downtime. Anti-inflammatory effects are often noticeable within days to weeks, with regenerative results developing over 3–6 months.

What Can It Address?

  • Chronic joint pain and inflammation
  • Osteoarthritis and cartilage degradation
  • Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
  • Systemic inflammation
  • Longevity and anti-aging protocols
  • Skin rejuvenation with microneedling

Quick answers to questions you may have

How is this different from Acorn stem cells?
Acorn uses your own stem cells (autologous). Wharton’s Jelly uses donor-derived cells (allogeneic). Both are effective – the right choice depends on your condition and what your provider recommends.

  • Reactions where cells are collected or injected.
  • The treatment may not work as hoped.

Serious risks

  • Infection, including serious blood infections, and contamination with bacteria, viruses or mold.
