Total plasma exchange (TPE)

The longevity treatment of superstars and top performers

Total Plasma Exchange (TPE) is a highly precise medical procedure in which the body’s own plasma is replaced with purified, fresh plasma solutions.

As an elite treatment in the biohacking scene, TPE helps executives, entrepreneurs, and superstars achieve renewed vitality, noticeable rejuvenation, improved cellular function, and systemic relief.

Total plasma exchange: Your reset for immune balance, energy & healthy cells

Total plasma exchange is much more than detoxification – it’s a reset on a molecular level.

Cellular rejuvenation & anti-aging

Removes pro-inflammatory molecules – cell functions are reactivated

Immun-Reset & Balance

Reduces misguided immune responses, e.g., in autoimmune diseases

Mitochondrial relief & energy

Less oxidative stress and noticeably more vitality & resilience

Neuroprotection & mental clarity

Reduces neurotoxic inflammatory factors – better focus, mental freshness

Applications of total plasma exchange

Total Plasma Exchange (TPE) is used worldwide in specialized clinics for systemic cell cleansing and therapeutic immunomodulation.

High Performance Recovery

After periods of stress or intense physical/cognitive exertion

Neurodegeneration (e.g., Alzheimer’s)

Reduction of inflammatory signals

Long COVID & Chronic Fatigue

Removal of circulating inflammatory mediators

Autoimmune diseases (e.g. MS, lupus)

Reduction of pathogenic antibodies

Longevity & Anti-Aging

Optimization of cellular aging processes

Superstars and high-performers use total plasma exchange (TPE)

Several well-known personalities rely on Total Plasma Exchange (TPE) to optimize health, energy, and longevity:

Bryan Johnson Arrow

Tech entrepreneur & biohacker (Project Blueprint); underwent plasma exchange to reduce inflammation and rejuvenate biological markers.markers.

Troy Aikman Arrow

Former NFL superstar describes TPE as an “essential human oil change” for the body.

Orlando Bloom Arrow

Actor; underwent apheresis to filter microplastics and inflammatory proteins from his blood.
These examples show: TPE has long become a staple in top-level biohacking and among high-performers – as the key to energy, longevity, and faster regeneration.

How does total plasma exchange work?

In Total Plasma Exchange (TPE) specific components of blood plasma are filtered out and replaced with substitute solutions using a specialized apheresis system. This is a medically standardized, gentle procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis:

1

Blood is drawn via a vein

2

Separation of cells & plasma

3

Removal of contaminated plasma components

4

Infusion of fresh plasma solution (albumin, electrolytes)

5

Return of blood cells

Duration of treatment: approx. 2–3 hours
1–3 sessions possible at intervals of several days

The treatment is carried out under medical supervision, with continuous monitoring of vital signs and state-of-the-art technology.

Science & Studies: The effectiveness of total plasma exchange

TPE as a longevity therapy is being intensively researched. Here is a selection of key study findings that highlight its potential:

Next-level performance & rejuvenation Arrow

Pilot study in humans (Kiprov/Conboy, 2022):

  • Multiple TPE treatments significantly reduced chronic inflammation markers.
  • Blood markers showed a clear “rejuvenation” of the internal profile.
  • Improved regeneration & increased vitality in older participants.

Years younger in just a few months Arrow

Randomized study (Buck Institute, 2025):

  • Regular TPE treatments reduced biological age by about 1.3 years.
  • Significantly younger epigenetic profile compared to the control group.
  • Effect especially strong in combination with immune factor infusions.

Protecting the Brain & Prolonging Quality of Life Arrow

AMBAR study (Alzheimer’s, 2020):

  • TPE slowed cognitive and functional decline by up to 70%.
  • Patients remained independent and fit for daily life for longer.
  • Measurable stabilization of memory and daily living skills.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about total plasma exchange

What exactly is total plasma exchange (TPE)?
Total plasma exchange is a medical procedure in which blood plasma is replaced with a purified substitute solution. Unwanted substances such as inflammatory factors, autoantibodies, or cell fragments are removed in the process. The goal: deep relief for the immune system and a systemic “cleansing” of your internal environment.
What can total plasma exchange help with?
Total plasma exchange is mainly used for autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammation, long COVID, neurological issues (e.g., dementia), chronic fatigue, and in regenerative anti-aging concepts. It is effective both therapeutically and preventively, e.g., for reducing so-called “silent inflammation” that is associated with aging and many chronic diseases.
How does a session work exactly?
After a medical consultation, you take a comfortable seat in a treatment chair. Through a venous access, your blood is circulated in a closed system through a medical apheresis device. This separates the plasma, filters out unwanted substances, and replaces it with a sterile albumin-electrolyte solution. Your blood cells are returned in real time. The treatment is low-pain, lasts about 2–3 hours, and is supervised by medical professionals.
How many sessions are necessary?
This depends on the goal of your treatment. For deep reduction of inflammation or a longevity boost, 1 to 3 sessions at intervals of a few days are recommended. For chronic diseases or special indications, an individualized long-term protocol may be developed. Our doctors will advise you after your diagnostics.
How quickly will I see effects?
Many patients report greater mental clarity, higher energy levels, improved sleep quality, and reduced fatigue within a few days. Lab markers (e.g., CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) often show a significant decrease even after the first session. The full effect typically unfolds over days to weeks—depending on your baseline and accompanying measures.
Is the treatment safe and scientifically based?
Yes. Total plasma exchange is an established, medically recognized procedure used worldwide in specialized clinics and university centers, especially for autoimmune and metabolic diseases. Clinic X uses only certified equipment, sterile materials, and operates according to ISO and FDA guidelines. The therapy is always medically supervised.
Are there any side effects?
The treatment is generally very well tolerated. Occasionally, mild fatigue, temporary drop in blood pressure, or dizziness can occur after the session, especially if not enough fluids were consumed beforehand. Rarely, there may be circulatory reactions or venous irritation, which are immediately treated medically. At Clinic X, you will be closely monitored.
Can I combine Total plasma exchange with other Clinic X services and therapies?
Yes, with very high effectiveness. Especially recommended is the combination with:

  • X-plore diagnostics for precise before-and-after measurement
  • IHHT for mitochondrial activation
  • NAD+ infusions to support cellular energy
  • Peptide therapies for hormonal optimization
  • Exosome therapy for targeted cell regeneration

Our doctors are happy to advise you on an individual longevity plan.
