Apheresis

An extracorporeal purification treatment that removes toxins, heavy metals, inflammatory mediators and immune complexes from the blood, restoring immune balance and enhancing cellular regeneration. At Image Regenerative Institute, apheresis is part of an integrated path combining IV therapies, bio-resonance and bioenergetic massage to restore the body’s full biological coherence.

About the Treatment

Apheresis and Toxopheresis®: the biological reset that frees the body from toxins

Therapeutic Apheresis is an extracorporeal medical procedure that selectively filters the blood plasma to remove toxic substances, heavy metals, microplastics, immune complexes and inflammatory mediators.
It is a deep systemic detoxification treatment that helps restore immune balance and improve overall cellular function.

At Image Regenerative Clinic, apheresis is an integral part of our biological regeneration programs. It represents the first step of a personalized pathway that prepares the body to respond more effectively to subsequent regenerative, infusion and energy-based therapies.

We do not treat symptoms – we address their causes

Many chronic conditions result from the progressive accumulation of harmful substances: environmental toxins, viral residues, oxidative stress and heavy metals that build up over time.
A growing threat to human health is also represented by microplastics—tiny particles derived from the degradation of synthetic materials that have now been detected in human blood and even in vital organs.

These invisible yet biologically active particles can alter immune responses, trigger chronic inflammation and interfere with natural cellular regeneration.
Apheresis—and especially Toxopheresis® offers an effective solution to remove these substances and restore the body’s natural physiological balance.

What is Toxopheresis®

Toxopheresis® is an advanced medical technology designed to enhance the effectiveness of traditional apheresis.
Through a sophisticated extracorporeal filtration system, it eliminates environmental toxins, microplastics, heavy metals, infectious agents and inflammatory mediators, helping to restore a cleaner and healthier internal environment.

The filtration membranes—manufactured in Germany to the highest medical standards and free from ethylene oxide, ensure maximum safety and biocompatibility.
A controlled plasma-heating system further weakens pathogens and optimizes filtration performance, improving the quality of the plasma that is reinfused into the body.

What it does

Toxopheresis® is designed to free the body from substances that compromise cellular and immune function.
Through plasma filtration, it removes:

  • Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium, arsenic and gadolinium
  • Environmental toxins and microplastics present in water, air and food
  • Pesticides, solvents and persistent organic compounds (PCB, DDE, benzene)
  • Inflammatory mediators such as interleukins and cytokines
  • Immune complexes and pathogenic residues that sustain chronic inflammation

The result is a biological reset: cleaner blood, reduced toxic load, renewed vitality and improved mental clarity.

Who it is for

Apheresis and Toxopheresis® are indicated for individuals with:

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME), burnout or long COVID
  • Autoimmune and systemic inflammatory conditions
  • Toxicity from heavy metals or environmental microplastics
  • Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, fibromyalgia or brain fog
  • Metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic tiredness or reduced cellular performance
  • Chronic allergies, skin inflammation and persistent immune dysregulation
  • The need to prepare for advanced regenerative protocols (Lipogems®, NAD+, GAET, Bio-resonance)

The benefits of Toxopheresis®

  • Measurable blood purification with pre- and post-treatment testing
  • Reduction of inflammatory markers and rebalancing of the immune system
  • Decreased toxic load from microplastics and heavy metals
  • Improved energy, concentration and sleep quality
  • Enhanced regenerative response and greater treatment efficacy
  • A deep sense of wellbeing, lightness and renewed vitality

The integrated approach of Image Regenerative Clinic

At Image Regenerative Clinic, apheresis is never a stand-alone treatment.
It is part of a multidisciplinary regenerative pathway that acts on three dimensions: biological, energetic and cellular.

Following extracorporeal purification, the body is supported and rebalanced through:

  • Personalized IV therapies (NAD+, Detox Fat Burning, Immunobooster, Anti-Aging)
  • Bio-resonance therapy, to restore electromagnetic harmony and cellular communication
  • Bioenergetic and lymphatic massage, to promote circulation, drainage and energy release
  • Functional nutrition and mitochondrial support, to maintain long-term biological coherence

This synergy creates a comprehensive regenerative pathway that restores optimal body function and promotes active, conscious longevity.

The result: a cleaner body, a more coherent energy

Toxopheresis® is more than a medical treatment, it is a process of biological and vibrational renewal.
Purifying the blood from toxins and microplastics restores the cells’ ability to breathe, communicate and regenerate.

Each session is a step toward deeper equilibrium: a cleaner body, a more efficient metabolism and a clearer, more focused mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Apheresis and Toxopheresis®?

Apheresis filters plasma to remove toxins, heavy metals and immune complexes; Toxopheresis® is an advanced form enhanced to also target microplastics, infectious agents and inflammatory mediators.

Who is this treatment intended for?

It is designed for adults experiencing chronic inflammation, heavy-metal or microplastic toxicity, autoimmune conditions, long COVID, or who are preparing for advanced regenerative therapies.

How many sessions are needed and how long does each last?

Each session lasts about 90-120 minutes. Typically 2–3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart are recommended, though the exact plan is tailored individually

Is the procedure safe and are there any side-effects?

Yes, the procedure is conducted in a medical environment with high-quality filtration membranes and minimal anticoagulant use. Side-effects are rare; a medical evaluation is required before treatment.

Can this treatment be combined with other regenerative therapies?

Absolutely. It is designed to complement IV therapies (e.g., NAD+), bio-resonance, bio-energetic massage and other regenerative protocols to maximise overall outcomes.
