Cell Therapy for Joints in Marrakesh

PRP means platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood; SVF means a cell fraction isolated from a small portion of your adipose tissue. Working in different ways, they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

Both methods rely on your own tissue, so rejection or an allergic reaction is very unlikely. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising can occur as with any injection, and infection is rare. The doctor goes through the risks for your case at the consultation.

That varies. Often the effect after PRP lasts several months up to about a year, and after SVF it can be longer. The duration depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so a fixed result cannot be promised.

Cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness all rule the procedure out. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

At early stages, PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and improve movement. If the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be the more realistic option — the doctor will tell you honestly after seeing your scans.

For early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered: it supports blood supply to the femoral head and can delay the need for a joint replacement. Surgery is usually required later on.

With early or moderate changes, trying to keep your own joint first is often the sensible path — a replacement means major surgery, lengthy rehabilitation, risks such as infection and implants that might eventually be redone.

Yes — just send whatever X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you have. The review by a doctor costs nothing, and you learn whether the procedure could suit you and what else is needed.

Normally within a day or two. You will not need crutches or long rehabilitation, and the doctor gives you load and exercise recommendations for the first weeks.

Shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems are treated with PRP; in more advanced shoulder arthritis, SVF may be an option. The doctor first finds the cause of the pain, and that decides whether it suits you.
