Regenerative Treatments

Three biologic therapies, each with its own indication

Platelet-Rich Plasma PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma

PRP uses a concentrated preparation of a patient’s own blood components. Depending on the clinical indication, PRP may be considered for selected tendon, ligament, muscle and joint conditions.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate BMAC

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate

BMAC involves processing a patient’s own bone marrow aspirate to obtain a cellular concentrate. Its use depends on the patient’s condition, clinical suitability and available evidence.

Stromal Vascular Fraction Therapy SVF

Stromal Vascular Fraction Therapy

SVF is prepared from a small sample of your own adipose tissue. It contains a diverse mixture of regenerative and supportive cells that may aid tissue repair and joint health.

Autologous Regenerative Approaches

Selected autologous therapies, matched to the diagnosis

Beyond PRP, BMAC and SVF, selected autologous therapies may be considered based on diagnosis and individual clinical requirements. Which option is appropriate — if any — is decided only after a full assessment of your condition, imaging and treatment goals.

Our principle

The therapy follows the diagnosis — never the other way around.

Autologous regenerative approaches: PRP, BMAC and SVF
Conditions That May Be Considered

Early osteoarthritis Early osteoarthritis
Tendon injuries Tendon injuries
Ligament injuries Ligament injuries
Sports injuries Sports injuries
Biologics augmented cartilage procedures Biologics augmented cartilage procedures
Skin and hair wellness Skin and hair wellness

Regenerative medicine is not a universal solution. Every patient undergoes appropriate clinical evaluation before treatment is considered. We discuss the potential benefits, limitations, alternatives and expected outcomes before proceeding.

Our Philosophy

Evidence. Precision. Patient Selection.

Evidence

Therapies are offered within the limits of current clinical evidence, never beyond them.

Precision

Accurate diagnosis and image-guided delivery decide where a therapy can genuinely help.

Patient Selection

Suitability is assessed individually — the right patient matters as much as the right therapy.

Regenerative therapies may support healing and symptom improvement in appropriately selected patients.

Potential Benefits

What regenerative care may offer

Depending on the condition and the therapy used, biologic treatment may help reduce symptoms, improve function and support tissue healing in appropriately selected patients.

Pain Relief

May help reduce pain and discomfort associated with selected joint, tendon, ligament and musculoskeletal conditions.

Support for Tissue Healing

Certain biologic therapies may support the body’s natural repair and healing response.

Improved Function & Mobility

By addressing pain and supporting tissue health, treatment may help improve movement, strength and day-to-day function.

Joint Preservation

In selected patients, regenerative approaches may be considered as part of a joint-preservation strategy, particularly in earlier stages of joint disease.

Minimally Invasive Options

Many regenerative procedures use minimally invasive techniques and may be performed without major surgery.

Personalised Treatment

Treatment is tailored to the individual based on diagnosis, clinical findings, imaging, activity level, lifestyle and treatment goals.

Support for Earlier Intervention

For appropriately selected conditions, regenerative therapies may be considered before more invasive treatment options, when clinically appropriate.
