STOP! [
BEFORE YOU HAVE A KNEE
REPLACEMENT
KNEE REPLACEMENT
• This surgery is non-regenerative.
• Around 20% of people are left with
significant pain after joint replacement.
• Long recovery time with limited
mobility that can last months.
• About 2% of people undergoing total
joint replacement have complications.
• Risks include: blood clots, heart attacks,
strokes, infection, and even death.
HIGH RISK: This surgery
“
cuts out the knee joint
completely and replaces
it with metal and screws.
“We have never seen anything like this before.
Instead of putting a band-aid on arthritis pain with
drugs and shots, we’re actually able to regenerate
the joint. So far, all of our patients have responded
to stem cell treatments.”

STEM CELL THERAPY
● This procedure is non-surgical & regenerative,
and regrows cartilage
● Allure obtains your stem cells from your own
fat using a mini-liposuction procedure.

● Patients experience minimal discomfort
during this micro procedure.
● There is no sedation used and no
downtime.
● For most patients, symptoms begin to
improve within 1 to 2 months.
● The cost of stem cell treatment is a fraction
of the current patient care expenses of a
knee replacement.
● There are no safety concerns or adverse
effects associated with stem cell therapy.
