Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)
Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is a cutting edge regenerative treatment derived from a small sample of your own fat tissue. Rich in mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, and pericytes, SVF promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and supports natural healing in musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions.
After appropriate preparation and local anesthesia, a small-volume liposuction is performed to gently harvest adipose (fat) tissue, most commonly from the abdomen or flank. The amount of fat collected is limited and purely functional, not cosmetic. The harvested tissue is then processed to isolate the SVF, which is subsequently administered to the targeted area, often under imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety.
The procedure is generally well tolerated. Mild discomfort, swelling, bruising, or soreness at the harvesting or treatment site may occur and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can resume light activities shortly after the procedure, while rehabilitation and recovery protocols are individualized based on the treated condition and therapeutic goals.
What to Expect During SVF Therapy
A local anesthetic solution is used to minimize discomfort and bleeding during the liposuction, after which a thin cannula is introduced through a tiny skin incision to gently harvest the tissue. The processed tissue is then injected into the targeted area under imaging guidance, ensuring optimal precision and safety.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough physical assessment and imaging (ultrasound or fluoroscopy when indicated) help determine if SVF therapy is appropriate for your condition. This step ensures that treatment is tailored to your specific tissue needs and regenerative goals.
Medication Preparation
The collected fat is carefully processed using a closed, sterile system to separate and concentrate the stromal vascular fraction, containing stem cells, pericytes, and bioactive molecules that promote repair and regeneration.
Guided Injection
The collected fat is carefully processed using a closed, sterile system to separate and concentrate the stromal vascular fraction, containing stem cells, pericytes, and bioactive molecules that promote repair and regeneration.
Comfort & Safety
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions, with local anesthesia ensuring minimal discomfort. Patients typically return home the same day, with only mild tenderness in the treated area.
Recovery & Results
Patients typically return home the same day, experiencing only mild tenderness in the treated area. Pain reduction and functional improvement usually begin within a few weeks and continue to progress gradually over the course of several months.
