SVF is a state of the art technology where a patient’s own fat or adipose derived stem cells are used to heal his or her own body. Adipose tissue contains a large number of multipotent cells, which is stem-cell-based therapies are derived from. Fat is processed to yield a high number of mesenchymal stem cells.
The procedure entails performing a mini-liposuction from the abdomen or flank. Stems cells are extracted from the tissue, which are first processed. These stem cells are activated and administered back into the patient where they secrete signals called growth factors, thus leading to their regenerative potential.
