SVF and PRP Joint Therapy in Sharjah city

The difference: PRP is plasma rich in platelets, obtained from your blood, and SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a little of your adipose tissue. Their mechanisms differ, so they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

With both methods the tissue is your own, so the chance of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. Any injection can bring temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. The doctor talks you through the risks in your case at the consultation.

It differs from person to person. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and after SVF it may last longer. How long depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so nobody can promise a fixed result.

The procedure is ruled out for cancer, acute infections and blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy and during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. This is checked by the doctor at the consultation.

PRP or SVF injections, combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy, can reduce pain and improve movement at early stages. If damage to the joint is already severe, replacement may be more realistic — the doctor gives an honest answer after seeing your scans.

At stages 1–2, SVF therapy can be considered to help the blood supply to the femoral head and delay joint replacement; at later stages surgery is usually necessary.

Replacing a joint is major surgery, with long rehabilitation, risks such as infection and implants that may one day need replacing again. For early or moderate changes, it is often worth trying to keep your own joint first.

Yes. Send us your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports; a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.

Typically within a day or two. You need no crutches and no long rehabilitation, and the doctor advises you on exercise and load for the first weeks.

PRP helps with shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered when shoulder arthritis is more advanced. It depends on the cause of the pain — the doctor establishes it first.
