Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT)

Harnessing the regenerative power of your own body's adipose (fat) tissue to heal damaged joints and tendons without major surgery.

MFAT is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy that uses a patient's own adipose tissue to provide a structural cushion and support the body's natural healing process. Fat tissue is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and pericytes, which are potent reparative cells.

Unlike traditional surgery, this minimally invasive procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia. The tissue is harvested, processed to remove oil and blood, and then precisely injected into the injured area under ultrasound guidance.

Key Benefits

  • Minimally invasive alternative to surgery
  • Uses your own cells (autologous), reducing rejection risk
  • Provides structural support and cushioning
  • Rich source of regenerative cells
  • Minimal downtime compared to surgery
