AURA TPE THERAPY

Most patients describe TPE as surprisingly comfortable—similar to donating blood but while lying in a comfortable chair. The IV insertion is the only discomfort, and many patients read, watch movies, or rest during the 2-4 hour session. Our team prioritizes your comfort with pain management and constant attention to your needs.​

TPE therapy costs vary based on your specific treatment plan and number of sessions needed. Many patients find significant cost savings compared to ongoing expensive medications or procedures in other countries. We provide transparent pricing during consultation.

Many patients experience improvement within days of starting treatment—much faster than conventional medications that can take weeks or months. However, response varies by condition and individual factors. During your consultation, we’ll provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation and medical history.​

TPE works differently than medications—it physically removes the harmful substances attacking your body rather than suppressing your entire immune system. This makes it ideal when medications aren’t working, cause serious side effects, or are contraindicated. TPE can also work alongside existing treatments.​

TPE is most effective for autoimmune conditions and cases where harmful substances in your plasma are driving your illness. The best candidates often have conditions that haven’t responded well to standard treatments or need rapid intervention. Our specialists can evaluate your specific case during a consultation.​

Yes, our TPE program is located in Medellin, Colombia. However, many patients find the cost savings significant even with travel expenses, and our team assists with travel coordination, accommodations, and medical tourism logistics to make your experience as smooth as possible.​

Most acute conditions require 5-7 sessions over 2 weeks, though this varies by diagnosis and severity. Some patients need only a few treatments, while others benefit from periodic maintenance sessions. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and response to therapy.​

While TPE has high success rates for appropriate conditions, response can vary. We conduct thorough evaluations to ensure you’re a good candidate before beginning treatment. If you are a good candidate and don’t respond as expected, we’ll explore additional supportive therapies or alternative approaches as part of our comprehensive care philosophy.​

If conventional treatments aren’t providing adequate relief, you’re experiencing medication side effects, or your condition is progressing despite treatment, TPE may offer hope. During your comprehensive functional medicine meeting, we will evaluate your medical history, current treatments, and specific condition to determine if TPE could change your health trajectory.​
