Stem cells and regenerative medicine FAQ
Find answers about regenerative medicine, including the difference between tissue and cells, treatment aims, evidence, risks and limitations.
FAQ
Is SVF the same as stem cells?
No. It is a fraction that may contain several cell types and must be distinguished from a pure stem cell population or cultured cells.
What approach is used for facial fat grafting?
The clinic uses an approach combining microfat and SVF. The actual method and scope are decided after assessing facial structure and condition.
Are fat grafting and regenerative medicine the same?
Fat grafting transfers autologous fat tissue to support volume and contour. It is described separately from regenerative approaches using fat-derived cells.
Are adipose-derived and bone marrow-derived treatments identical?
Their source, preparation and applications may differ. The specific tissue and method need to be identified.
Can anyone receive Stem Cell LAB treatment?
Suitability depends on the condition, health, indications and applicable requirements.
Explore concepts and applications
Explore common concepts through adipose-derived, microfat and joint care guidance.
Adipose-derived cells and SVF
Adipose tissue contains mature fat cells, vessels, connective tissue, and multiple cellular components
Microfat and SVF
Microfat is adipose tissue processed into smaller particles, while SVF is a mixed fraction of cellular components separated from adipose tissue
Knee and joint regenerative medicine
Bone-marrow-derived concentrate and other joint approaches differ from adipose-derived care in source and eligibility
