# GINZA NOA CLINIC > GINZA NOA CLINIC is a regenerative medicine clinic in Ginza, Tokyo, registered for gynaecology, internal medicine, dermatology, orthopaedic surgery and pain management, and it runs its own cell processing centre. This site (jpnstemcell.com) is the clinic's international patient information site. It publishes treatment descriptions, yen prices, the regulatory position of each treatment, and the evidence behind them, for patients outside Japan. Treatments are provided as self-pay care on a referral basis after a physician has assessed your records and examined you. Reading this site is not a consultation and does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Published by: GINZA NOA CLINIC, Royal Crystal Ginza 3F, 5-4-6 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan.

Filing a plan is NOT product approval. A regenerative medical product requires separate marketing authorisation under the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act (PMDA). These treatments are self-pay, not insurance-covered, and each filed plan covers only the treatment listed against it. - PB3250148 (Class II): Autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells for endometrial hypoplasia - PB3250149 (Class II): Autologous adipose-derived stem cells for chronic pain - PB3250150 (Class II): Autologous adipose-derived stem cells for osteoarthritis - PB3250151 (Class II): Autologous adipose-derived stem cells for age-related skin changes, such as wrinkles and laxity - PC3250155 (Class III): Natural killer (NK) cell therapy for cancer prevention - FC3250034 (Facility): cell processing facility number assigned to the in-house CPC.
