A recent study in Aging Cell shows that therapeutic plasma exchange (also known as TPE or plasmapheresis) may actually reverse signs of aging in healthy adults over 50. In this carefully designed study, 44 participants were assigned to receive either biweekly TPE (with or without intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG), monthly TPE, or a placebo. The main goal was to see whether long-term TPE is safe and how it affects biological age, which reflects your body’s true aging at the cellular level, not just the number of years you’ve lived.
A Comprehensive Approach
What makes this study stand out is its multi-layered analysis. Researchers looked at many aspects of biology, including DNA changes, proteins, metabolism, immune system markers, and more, to get a full picture of how TPE affects aging.
Impressive Results
The strongest rejuvenation effect came from biweekly TPE with IVIG. This approach:
- Slowed biological aging according to 15 different epigenetic clocks
- Reversed age-related decline in the immune system
- Reduced proteins linked to chronic inflammation
The study also confirmed that TPE is safe, with only a few mild side effects. It even identified biomarkers that help predict who will benefit the most, especially people starting with poorer health.
Why This Matters
Until now, methods like diet, exercise, or certain medications only modestly affected biological age and often required long-term commitment. TPE offers a more direct way to reset the body’s aging processes, showing clear effects across multiple biological markers.
Our Unique Protocol
Based on these findings, our clinic now offers plasmapheresis as part of our advanced age-rejuvenation program. Our protocol combines the latest science the power of photobiomodulation through use of the hemealumen. It follows the most effective regimens from the study and is designed to help patients turn back their biological clocks and improve long-term health.
The Future of Healthy Aging
