Our therapies

The science behind your protocol — explained simply.

Every SELVA protocol runs over 1 to 3 days and combines several therapies in a deliberate sequence. Here is what each one is, how it works, and how it helps — so you arrive understanding your own treatment.

The SELVA method

Therapies are not stacked — they are sequenced.

SELVA protocols follow a logic: first the body is prepared, then the conditions for repair are created, and only then is regenerative signaling delivered into a body ready to respond. And your patient coordinator stays in contact through the months that follow.

Therapy 01

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

What it is

A treatment that delivers 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure inside a comfortable chamber — at SELVA, gentle 1.5 ATA sessions of 60 to 90 minutes.

How it works

Under pressure, oxygen dissolves far more fully into the blood and plasma, reaching tissues with greater saturation than breathing air allows.

How it helps

It supports cellular energy, helps calm inflammation, and prepares the body's environment so that the regenerative therapies that follow can work on well-oxygenated tissue. It is the foundation of nearly every SELVA protocol.

Therapy 02

Regenerative signaling therapy

What it is

A class of regenerative therapies based on the natural signals that cells use to communicate and coordinate repair. They carry growth and repair instructions rather than acting as living cells.

How it works

Because these therapies work through signaling, their role is to prompt the body's own repair processes in the area that needs them. Your physician determines whether they are appropriate and how they fit your protocol.

How it helps

Used as part of the Raíz, Vida, Aire, Flora and Nicoya protocols, they support the body's regenerative response. What is appropriate for you is decided only after medical evaluation.

Therapy 03

Regenerative cellular therapy

What it is

For joint regeneration, SELVA uses a carefully prepared cellular therapy, administered by our physicians.

How it works

It is placed directly into the joint space under ultrasound guidance by an orthopedic specialist, where it can act locally over the following weeks.

How it helps

It provides a targeted, local regenerative effect inside the joint — the basis of the Nicoya protocol. Candidacy is confirmed through medical evaluation.

Therapy 04

Intravenous therapies

Delivered directly into the bloodstream, IV therapies bypass digestion for full, immediate availability. They create the cellular conditions in which regenerative signaling can work.

NAD+

A coenzyme central to how cells produce energy. Supports energy, recovery and mental clarity — central to the Pura and Vida protocols.

Myers Cocktail

A balanced, time-tested blend of vitamins and minerals that supports energy, immunity and overall cellular function.

Glutathione + Carnosine

Antioxidant support that helps the body manage oxidative stress. Used as a cofactor across nearly every protocol.

Vitamin C

Supports collagen formation and tissue recovery — part of the Flora facial regeneration protocol.

Therapy 05

Microneedling with regenerative signaling

Part of the Flora protocol. Controlled micro-channels are created in the skin, and regenerative signaling is applied within a precise window — supporting texture, luminosity and firmness from within the skin itself.

Therapy 06

Peptide formulary — La Botica

A curated, physician-prescribed set of peptides — not an open menu. Each is offered with full transparency about its current evidence, and only after individual medical evaluation. A complement to the core protocols.
