INUSpheresis® in Dubai
What is INUSpheresis®?
INUSpheresis® is a form of therapeutic apheresis – a procedure that filters the blood outside the body and returns it. It uses double filtration plasmapheresis, sometimes shortened to DFPP.
The process runs in two stages. A first filter separates plasma from your blood cells. A second, finer filter then passes that plasma through a membrane sized to hold back larger molecules while letting smaller ones through. The filtered plasma is recombined with your blood cells and returned to you.
What distinguishes it from a simple plasma exchange is that stage two is selective. Rather than discarding plasma wholesale and replacing it with donor plasma or albumin, the second filter is chosen to retain useful plasma components while removing larger targeted ones.
“Apheresis itself is not new or experimental. It has been used in hospital medicine for decades, in defined clinical circumstances. What is newer is its application in a wellness and preventive setting, and that distinction matters – we have set it out plainly in the evidence section below”.
How INUSpheresis® differs from other treatments
This is the question we are asked most often, so here is a direct answer.
Compared with an IV drip or vitamin infusion:
An infusion adds something to your bloodstream. INUSpheresis® removes something from it. They work in opposite directions and are not alternatives to one another.
Compared with dialysis:
Dialysis substitutes for kidney function, filtering small waste molecules the kidneys can no longer clear, and is prescribed for renal failure. INUSpheresis® does not replace organ function and is not a treatment for kidney disease. The two share the general principle of filtering blood outside the body and very little else.
Compared with conventional plasma exchange:
Plasma exchange removes plasma and replaces the volume with donor plasma or albumin. INUSpheresis® filters your own plasma and returns it, which removes the need for replacement fluid.
Compared with ozone or oxygen therapies:
These aim to change how blood behaves once it is back in circulation. INUSpheresis® is a physical filtration process. Some patients undergo both, but they are doing different jobs.
Compared with chelation:
Chelation uses a pharmaceutical agent that binds to certain metals so they can be excreted. INUSpheresis® is mechanical rather than pharmacological. It does not involve a chelating drug.

What the filtration is designed to remove
The second-stage filter is selected by molecular size. In broad terms it is intended to retain larger molecules from the plasma while allowing smaller ones to pass back through. Depending on the filter selected, the categories targeted include inflammatory proteins, immune complexes, autoantibodies, certain lipoproteins, and larger environmental and metabolic compounds.
We deliberately do not publish removal percentages for individual substances. Figures of that kind depend heavily on the filter used, the individual patient, the number of passes and the analytical method, and presenting them as a general expectation would be misleading.
What is measurable is what comes out. The filtrate collected during your session can be analysed, and your clinician will discuss those findings with you afterwards.
Being straight with you about the evidence
Most clinics offering this treatment do not publish this section. We think you should have it before you decide.
Therapeutic apheresis is a well-established procedure with a substantial evidence base in specific clinical settings, and it has been in hospital use for many years. That part is not in question.
The evidence for apheresis used as a general wellness, detoxification or longevity intervention is at a much earlier stage. The published work in that area consists largely of case reports, small observational studies and clinical experience rather than large randomised controlled trials. It is reasonable to describe it as emerging, and unreasonable to describe it as proven.
That does not mean it has no value. It means the honest position is that we cannot tell you in advance what result you will get, and any clinic that does tell you that is going beyond what the evidence supports.
Our approach follows from this. We assess first. We are clear about what is known and what is not. We will decline to treat where we do not think there is a sound reason to proceed, and we would rather do that than take a booking.
Screening and assessment: Every patient is screened before treatment. This covers cardiovascular health, blood counts and clotting, current medications, infection status, venous access and pregnancy. Where screening identifies a reason not to proceed, we say so.
