How it works :

Fat or adipose tissue contains the highest concentration of stem cells in the body. This is removed from you by a mini liposuction usually from the lower abdomen, and then stem cells are purified and activated from the fat extracted. This is then activated with platelet rich plasma (from your own blood) and injected into the joint with or without ultrasound guidance. Studies have shown that patients destined for joint replacement have been able to resume activities such as walking with little or no discomfort.
