SVF and Microfat

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) and Microfat stem cell therapy represent some of the most advanced biologic therapies available in regenerative medicine. Derived from a small volume of your own adipose (fat) tissue, these therapies provide a powerful combination of mesenchymal stem cells, pericytes, endothelial precursors, and anti-inflammatory cytokines — all embedded within a naturally supportive extracellular matrix. SVF and Microfat act to stimulate tissue regeneration, modulate inflammation, promote angiogenesis, and support long-term tissue remodeling.

At the Performance Medicine Institute, we perform minimally invasive lipoaspiration under local anesthesia to obtain fat from the lower abdomen or flank. The tissue is then mechanically processed to yield either SVF, which is rich in regenerative cellular components and bioactive molecules, or Microfat, a more structurally intact form that can provide a slower release of cells. These products are re-injected with ultrasound-guided precision into damaged joints, tendons, fascial layers, or even into the perineum or penile tissues in select pelvic applications.

SVF and Microfat are particularly suited for complex, chronic conditions that have not responded to other biologic therapies — including advanced osteoarthritis, post-surgical scarring, fascial adhesions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and soft tissue atrophy. Because adipose tissue is abundant and rich in regenerative potential, these therapies offer a robust, evidence-based solution for patients seeking functional recovery without synthetic drugs or implants.
