FAQ
What is the training content and who will participate?
The program lasts for two days:
Day 1 (Theoretical Training):
Four main sessions:
• Neurosurgery & Neurodegenerative Diseases – Led by expert neurosurgeons and neurologists.
• Anti-Aging Approaches in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
• Stem Cell Therapies – Comprehensive explanations by internationally experienced specialists.
• Genetics & Cellular Therapies – Covers genetic approaches in stem cell treatments, peptide therapies, and cellular therapy protocols.
Day 2 (Practical Training):
Live demonstrations on real cases.
Participants learn practical details such as injection techniques, IV applications, equipment, and needle types.
Orthopedic procedures are supported with models or ultrasound for clear demonstration.
Participants also receive personalized uniforms with their names printed on them.
Do you provide a certificate and is it recognized?
Yes. At the end of the training, participants receive a Certificate of Attendance. ISSCA is an international organization operating in 16 countries. Our certificate is well-recognized worldwide and holds value due to our institutional reputation. However, it is not accredited by a governmental body such as a Ministry of Education. Currently, no such official accreditation exists for this type of training globally.
Is my English level sufficient?
A minimum B1 level of English is recommended for this training by ISSCA. Most professionals with an established academic background already possess this level. In addition, all presentations are shared with participants, so any details missed during the sessions can be reviewed and reinforced afterward.
Can I learn just by observing?
Yes. All participating doctors are licensed to perform injections. Most procedures in the program involve injections and IV therapies, which participants are already familiar with. The focus is on learning stem cell–specific techniques. On the practical day, there are a maximum of 20 participants, divided into two groups of 10, ensuring everyone has a clear view and the opportunity to take recordings if needed.
Why should I attend all modules? Can I only join sessions relevant to my specialty?
In cellular therapies, combined approaches are preferred. For example, while harvesting stem cells for knee pain, the same material can also be used for facial rejuvenation or hair restoration. Learning these multidisciplinary applications gives participants a competitive advantage.
Is accommodation included?
No. The training fee covers only the scientific content and refreshments provided during the course. Accommodation, travel, and personal expenses are the responsibility of the participant.
What training materials are provided? Are they sufficient?
Yes, our training materials are comprehensive and up-to-date.
Participants receive:
• Approved publications and literature
• Current scientific articles
• Application protocols and procedures
After completing the course, participants are fully equipped to perform the procedures.
Can I record procedures?
Short photos/videos for educational purposes are allowed; no continuous or full-length recording.
Is this hands-on for attendees?
Day 2 is live clinical observation only. You will observe each step closely; attendees do not perform interventions.
