Bringing World-Class Fertility Treatment to the Bahamas
“Reclaim Your Fertility After 40 with Stem-Cell & Exosome Rejuvenation”
Same world-class science as RFC USA — now here in the Bahamas
“See If You Qualify” or “Book Your Consultation”
At RFC Bahamas, we bring the same world-class reproductive technology, scientific rigor, and patient care that patients expect from RFC USA—but here on the beautiful shores of the Bahamas. Under the leadership of Dr. Zaher Merhi, one of the world’s leading experts in ovarian rejuvenation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Merhi+PRP+&sort=date, our clinic specializes in stem cell and exosome therapies for the ovaries and uterus—designed for women struggling with diminished ovarian reserve, early menopause, failed IVF cycles, poor embryo quality, or thin uterine lining. We also specialize in Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy (MRT).
RFC Bahamas has received approval for stem cell research and therapies from the Bahamian national stem cell ethics committee (NSCEC). https://www.rejuvenatingfertility.com
We are proud to be the first clinic in the world to offer a fully integrated stem cell / exosome program for reproductive rejuvenation. Our treatments are ethically sourced, FDA-certified, and based on over 150 Peer-Reviewed Publications showing that Rejuvenation Therapy could be used to achieve pregnancy in women with Low Ovarian Reserve, women with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), and women with early menopause
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=PRP+and+ovaries&sort=date.

MOST COMMON TYPES OF STEM CELL AND EXOSOME STEM CELL TREATMENT(S)
- Human umbilical cord stem cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=umbilical+cord+stem+cells+and+ovaries&sort=date
- Human umbilical cord stem cell Exosomes (check our next page to understand the difference between Stem Cells and their Exosomes) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=umbilical+cord+stem+cells+exosomes+and+ovaries&sort=date
- Human (your own) adipose (fat) stem cells (can also be one in the United States) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=adipose+stem+cells+and+ovaries&sort=date
We also offer less commonly used other types of stem cells such as human bone marrow and human placental stem cells.
How Stem Cells & Exosomes Work?
Women always have eggs inside their ovaries but a lot of these eggs are dormant. Even postmenopausal women still have on average 1,000 dormant eggs inside their ovaries. Ovarian rejuvenation is a newly pioneered procedure intended to re-awake egg maturation and development within the ovary and potentially improve egg quality. Rejuvenation Therapy could be used to achieve pregnancy in women with Low Ovarian Reserve, women with Premature Ovarian insufficiency (POI), and women with early menopause.
Our rejuvenation therapies aim to restore ovarian and uterine function by:
- Improving blood flow and cellular repair in the ovaries and uterus
- Supporting egg and embryo quality
- Enhancing endometrial thickness and receptivity for embryo implantation
These therapies may be offered as standalone treatments or combined with IVF/mini-IVF for the best chance of success.
Our Services
- IVF, Natural IVF, and Mini-IVF
- Egg freezing & embryo freezing
- PGT (genetic testing of embryos)
- PRP and stem cell therapies for ovarian rejuvenation
- Exosome treatments for ovarian and uterine health
- Fertility preservation for women at risk of ovarian decline
- Our unique focus is on ovarian and uterine rejuvenation through stem cells and exosomes — therapies supported by over 150 peer-reviewed studies and ethically sourced, FDA-certified materials
What are adult Stem Cells and
what do they do?
Stem cells are found throughout the body. They are “neutral” unspecialized cells that are capable of develop or change into specialized cell types with more specific functions, such as ovarian cells, blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells, or bone cells. Stem cells can be guided and activated into becoming more specific cells that can be used in people to regenerate and repair tissues that have been damaged. Adult stem cells are found in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat.
What are Stem Cell Exosomes and
what do they do?
- Exosomes are released by Stem Cells. They are extracellular vesicles, which is the medical term for tiny bubbles that are released by the stem cells themselves.
- They carry important information and proteins to cells throughout your body. Exosomes create paths for communication between cells.
- Unlike stem cell therapy, exosome therapy does not involve using donor cells in your body. Instead, exosomes are extracted from donated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and sterilized.
- The exosome solution contains valuable lipids, messenger-RNA, micro-RNA, signaling cytokines, and proteins.
- Exosome therapy can be administered directly into the ovaries or the uterus or the vagina.
- Exosomes are powerful elements that can restore cells throughout your body. They enhance cell-to-cell communication, which is essential for overall cell health.
- Compared to adult stem cells, exosomes contain nearly three times the amount of growth factors. More growth factors mean a better ability to restore and revitalize target cells.
What is Stem Cell
therapy?
Scientific research from all over the world has indicated that stem cells hold great promise in regenerative medicine and tissue repair. Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent disease by improving cell regeneration and aiding the tissue in its healing and repair process. Stem cell therapy holds great potential for the treatment of various diseases, in humans that includes diabetes, spinal cord injuries
cardiovascular disease, orthopedic injuries, stroke, and others.
Here at RFC Bahamas, we offer treatments with stem cells to help infertile patients with several conditions prolong and improve their reproductive lifespan.
Brief summary of the
Stem Cell rejuvenation procedures (for the ovaries and the uterus)
Your Treatment Day: What to Expect
It is a minimally invasive vaginal procedure, and you are usually given anesthesia so you will not feel any pain. The stem cells and exosomes are bought from FDA-approved companies in the United States, and then shipped and stored in the Bahamas.
2 Easy Steps:
Step 1:
You come to RFC-Bahamas at Doctor’s Hospital in Nassau, The Bahamas (please enjoy the island!)
Step 2:
The stem cells or exosomes will be thawed and injected into your ovaries and/or uterus under ultrasound guidance
Disclaimer: Treatments involving stem cells and exosomes are considered investigational. Results vary by individual, and success cannot be guaranteed.
