What is regenerative
joint treatment?

Material from your own body is at the heart of regenerative joint treatment — PRP, a platelet-rich plasma derived from blood, and SVF, the stromal vascular fraction derived from a small sample of adipose tissue. Placed into the affected joint by injection, it reduces pain and inflammation and supports the joint's tissues.

The option is aimed at patients with joint pain who wish to avoid or postpone surgery, or who have only been offered a replacement. The chance of a lasting effect is best at an early stage, which the doctor checks on your scans.

Joints we treat

We treat large and small joints — which joint, which method and how many injections is decided by the doctor after a scan review

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

Processing a small sample of adipose tissue yields the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a blend of cells that help tissue repair. The doctor combines it with your plasma and injects it into the problem joint.

It is typically chosen for more pronounced joint changes, with a longer-lasting result in mind.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

A small amount of your blood is processed to separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors, which is then injected into the joint. It helps settle inflammation and gives the tissues better conditions for repair.

A course of injections can be done with it alone, or it can be paired with SVF.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

An examination of the joint and a review of your X-ray, MRI or ultrasound results let the doctor decide whether the procedure suits you. Please send any scans you have before the visit.

Blood sample for PRP

A small blood draw from a vein provides the material from which platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is later prepared.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

About 30 ml of adipose tissue is collected through a puncture on the abdomen or the inner thigh under local anaesthetic. The puncture needs no stitches.

Processing in a centrifuge

After centrifuging, the sample forms separate layers; the stromal vascular fraction is taken from them and combined with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

With ultrasound guiding the needle, the prepared material is injected directly and precisely into the affected joint.

Follow-up

No hospital stay and no crutches. After the procedure the doctor keeps in touch and follows how your joint responds.

Follow-up visits

After 1 month
3 months
6 months

Follow-up visits allow the doctor to track the joint's response and fine-tune the plan. Pain tends to ease during the first month, movement improves over about three months, and the full effect builds over around 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. The doctor gives you individual advice on exercise and load for the first weeks.
