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 support the tissues of the joint and help bring down inflammation and pain. They do not replace a rheumatologist when the disease is systemic. The doctor confirms your type of arthritis and the right timing first, and the procedure is not performed during a severe flare or an active joint infection.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
To obtain the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that support tissue repair, a small sample of your adipose tissue is processed. The SVF is combined with your own plasma and injected into the affected joint.
It is used in inflammatory arthritis — once the acute flare is over — for its influence on local inflammation and the repair of tissue.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Your blood, in a small amount, provides plasma rich in platelets and growth factors; injected into the joint, it helps ease inflammation and creates better conditions for repair of the tissues.
In rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, the doctor may recommend it as one piece of the overall treatment plan.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor checks the joint, goes through your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides if the procedure suits you. If you have scans already, feel free to send them before you come.
Blood sample for PRP
A small blood sample is taken from a vein. Later, platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared from this blood.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
With local anaesthetic, a small amount of adipose tissue — about 30 ml — is collected through a puncture on the inner thigh or abdomen, and no stitches are required.
Processing in a centrifuge
Once the centrifuge has spun the sample into layers, the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and added to the 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
After the procedure there is no hospital stay and no need for crutches; the doctor stays in touch and follows the joint's progress.

Follow-up visits
Pain usually eases over the first month, mobility improves over about three months and the full effect develops over around six months; follow-up visits let the doctor see the joint's response and adjust the plan.

After the procedure
Most people are home the same day and back to their usual routine within a day or two, the puncture sites covered with small dressings. The joint may ache a little more during the first week, as expected. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect builds over around six months. How long it holds varies individually with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. If a rheumatologist treats you, do not drop your prescribed medication without consulting them.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
Arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints. Typical signs are pain at rest and at night, morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. Causes include autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, gout and psoriasis.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
PRP may be used in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis to help reduce local inflammation, pain and swelling. Growth factors released by platelets influence the immune response and tissue repair. It complements, but does not replace, the treatment prescribed by your rheumatologist.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
The aim with psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease that cannot currently be cured completely, is long remission — controlling inflammation and stopping joint deformity. One part of that plan can be regenerative injections.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
SVF contains cells that can adjust the local immune response and help repair damaged tissue in the joint. Research here is still ongoing, so the doctor will talk through realistic expectations for your type of arthritis.
When is the treatment not suitable?
If you have an active joint infection, a severe flare, cancer or a blood clotting disorder, or are pregnant, the procedure is not done; the doctor postpones it or offers 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?
Inflammation keeps stimulating the pain receptors in the joint all the time — during movement, at rest and at night. Treatment aimed at reducing the inflammation, including PRP and SVF, can ease this pain.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No. PRP, SVF and other joint injections are contraindicated during pregnancy; how to treat arthritis while pregnant is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. A doctor looks at your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood tests free of charge and says whether regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis — simply send them.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
If it is not treated, it may cause permanent deformity of the joint, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs — the heart, lungs and kidneys among them. Treating it in time helps prevent these complications.
