What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
Put simply, arthritis is joint inflammation. The joint may hurt at rest and at night, feel stiff each morning for more than half an hour, swell, redden and feel warm. Causes include autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, as well as gout, infection or an old injury.
PRP and SVF can help reduce inflammation and pain and support the tissues inside the joint, but they do not replace care from a rheumatologist for a systemic disease. The procedure is not done during an active joint infection or a severe flare — the doctor first confirms the type of arthritis and chooses the right moment.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
SVF, or stromal vascular fraction, is a mix of cells involved in tissue repair, isolated by processing a small amount of your adipose tissue. It is combined with plasma from your own blood and injected into the affected joint.
In inflammatory arthritis, after the acute flare has passed, it is chosen for how it acts on local inflammation and tissue repair.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
From a small amount of your blood, plasma rich in growth factors and platelets is separated and injected into the joint. It helps to calm inflammation and creates better conditions for repairing tissue.
Recommended in some cases of rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, it is one part of a broader treatment plan.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
First comes an examination of the joint and a look at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound; then the doctor decides whether the procedure fits your case. Existing scans can be sent before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
A vein provides a small amount of blood, which is later used to prepare platelet-rich plasma rich in growth factors.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
About 30 ml of adipose tissue is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh, under local anaesthetic; the puncture needs no stitches.
Processing in a centrifuge
A centrifuge spins the sample until it forms layers. The stromal vascular fraction is isolated from them and mixed with platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
We inject the prepared material right into the affected joint, guided by ultrasound so that it is placed precisely.
Follow-up
Crutches and a hospital stay are not needed. The doctor keeps in contact afterwards and monitors how the joint is responding.

Follow-up visits
The plan is adjusted at follow-up visits, where the doctor sees how the joint responds: pain tends to ease over the first month, mobility to improve over about three months, and the full effect to develop over roughly six months.

After the procedure
Most people go home the same day and return to normal daily activity within a day or two; the puncture sites are covered with small dressings. During the first week the joint may ache a little more — this is an expected reaction. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts differs from person to person and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no one can promise a fixed result. If you are being treated by a rheumatologist, do not stop your prescribed medication without talking to them.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
Joint inflammation defines arthritis. It typically brings pain at rest and at night, morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, infections, gout and psoriasis can all lead to it.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
Platelets release growth factors that influence both tissue repair and the immune response, which is why PRP may be used in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis to help reduce local inflammation, pain and swelling. It complements rather than replaces your rheumatologist's prescribed treatment.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
At present psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease, cannot be cured completely. Treatment aims at long remission by controlling inflammation and preventing deformity of the joints; regenerative injections may be one part of this plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
The cells SVF contains can modulate local immunity and support repair of damaged tissue inside the joint. With research in this area ongoing, your doctor will discuss what is realistic to expect for your type of arthritis.
When is the treatment not suitable?
The procedure is not performed during an active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders; in such cases the doctor postpones it or suggests another option.
How is knee arthritis different from osteoarthritis?
Arthritis of the knee means inflammation — from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout — with redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness when touched. Osteoarthritis is the wearing of cartilage and typically brings a dry crunch and aching pain on movement.
Why does an arthritic joint hurt even at rest?
PRP, SVF and other treatment aimed at reducing inflammation can ease this pain, because inflammation keeps stimulating the joint's pain receptors all the time — at rest, on movement and at night.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No. In pregnancy, joint injections such as PRP and SVF are contraindicated, and any arthritis treatment is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. Send us the results of your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood tests: a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you if regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
Without treatment, it may lead to lasting deformity of the joint, loss of function, osteoporosis and harm to internal organs such as the kidneys, lungs and heart. Treating it in time prevents these complications.
