MFAT/SVF therapy is a modern regenerative medicine procedure that uses the body’s own adipose tissue as a source material. It is used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, and tendon and ligament injuries, among others. The goal of the treatment is to support the body’s natural regenerative processes and reduce pain and limitations in movement.
Why might MFAT/SVF therapy be beneficial?
Degenerative joint diseases are among the most common causes of pain and limited mobility. Since cartilage tissue has only a limited ability to regenerate itself, symptom-based or surgical treatments are often the primary focus in cases of advanced symptoms.
MFAT/SVF therapy takes a regenerative approach. The body’s own adipose tissue contains a variety of biological components, including the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF), which consists of various cell types and biologically active signaling molecules. Current scientific evidence suggests that these components can support the body’s natural regenerative processes and contribute to a regenerative tissue environment.
What is the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF)?
The stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) is a component of adipose tissue and contains various cell types as well as biologically active signaling molecules. According to current scientific understanding, regenerative therapies using SVF exert their effects primarily by supporting cell communication, modulating inflammatory processes, and promoting the body’s natural regenerative mechanisms.
What is microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT)?
Microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) is obtained through gentle mechanical processing of the body’s own adipose tissue. This process preserves important components of the natural tissue, including the extracellular matrix and biologically active cellular components. The result is a regenerative microenvironment that can support the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

Frequently Asked Questions About MFAT/SVF Stem Cell Therapies
Is MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy the right treatment for me?
MFAT/SVF therapy may be a suitable treatment option for various conditions and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. It is used, among other things, to treat osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, and tendon and ligament injuries. We will determine whether this treatment is right for you during a thorough orthopedic examination and a personal consultation.
Is MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy painful?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. The fat tissue is harvested under local anesthesia. The subsequent injection into the affected joint or tissue is also minimally invasive. Temporary side effects such as mild pain, swelling, or bruising at the harvest site or in the treated area may occur, but they usually subside within a few days.
How does MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy work?
In MFAT/SVF therapy, a small amount of the patient’s own adipose tissue is first harvested. The tissue is then processed in our in-house laboratory according to standardized quality control procedures. Depending on the procedure, either microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) is processed or the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) is isolated. The processed biological material is then specifically injected into the affected joint or tissue to support the body’s natural regenerative processes.
What is the difference between MFAT and SVF?
Both procedures use the body’s own adipose tissue as the source material, but differ in the method of processing. In MFAT therapy, the adipose tissue is gently microfragmented so that its natural tissue structure is largely preserved. The stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) refers to the cell-rich fraction of adipose tissue that contains various cell types and biologically active signaling molecules. Which procedure is used in each individual case depends on the medical issue and the patient’s specific treatment goal.
What are the benefits of MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy?
MFAT/SVF therapy uses only the body’s own biological material and is therefore generally very well tolerated. It is performed on an outpatient basis and is minimally invasive. The goal of the treatment is to support the body’s natural regenerative processes, relieve pain, and improve joint function.
For which conditions is MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy suitable?
MFAT/SVF therapy is used, among other things, to treat:
Osteoarthritis (e.g., knee, hip, or shoulder)
Cartilage damage
Tendon injuries
Ligament Injuries
acute and chronic joint pain
Whether the treatment is appropriate depends on the type and stage of the disease, as well as your individual symptoms. That is why a thorough medical examination and a personal consultation are conducted before each treatment.
How much does MFAT/SVF stem cell therapy cost?
The cost depends on the specific treatment requirements and the number of areas to be treated. Following your medical examination and consultation, you will receive a personalized treatment and cost plan with a transparent breakdown of costs.
As someone with public health insurance, can I receive treatment at the ROC?
Since we are a private practice and are not contracted with any health insurance plans, you can still receive treatment from us even if you have public health insurance. In this case, treatment is provided on a self-pay basis.
