Lipogems® Treatment for Selected Joint, Tendon & Soft-Tissue Conditions
Regenerative Treatment Using Your Own Tissue
Lipogems® is a minimally invasive treatment that uses processed tissue taken from your own body.
During the procedure, a small amount of adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue, is collected and prepared using a specialised process. The processed tissue is then introduced into the area being treated.
Lipogems® may be considered for selected joint, tendon and soft-tissue conditions, including certain degenerative and sports-related problems.
Your suitability for Lipogems® depends on your diagnosis, symptoms and clinical assessment.
What Is Lipogems®?
Lipogems® is a treatment that uses your own adipose tissue as part of a minimally invasive procedure.
Adipose tissue is collected from your body and processed using a specialised system. The prepared tissue is then introduced into the area being treated.
Because the treatment uses tissue taken from your own body, Lipogems® is different from treatments that use externally sourced materials.
Lipogems® is not suitable for every condition or patient. Your clinician will assess your individual circumstances before recommending this treatment.
Why Consider Lipogems®?
If you are looking for a minimally invasive option for a suitable joint, tendon or soft-tissue condition, Lipogems® may be one treatment to discuss with a specialist.
Uses Your Own Tissue
Lipogems® uses adipose tissue taken from your own body. The tissue is processed and prepared before being introduced into the treatment area.
Minimally Invasive
The procedure uses small access points rather than traditional open surgery, making it a minimally invasive treatment option.
Uses a Specialised Processing Method
The collected tissue goes through a specialised preparation process before it is used as part of the treatment.
May Be Considered for Selected Conditions
Lipogems® may be considered for certain joint, tendon and soft-tissue problems, including selected degenerative and sports-related conditions.
Performed Under Local Anaesthetic
The procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic where appropriate. Your clinician will explain the anaesthetic approach before treatment.
Personalised Treatment
Every condition is different. Your clinician will assess your symptoms, diagnosis and medical history to determine whether Lipogems® may be suitable for you.
What Conditions Can Lipogems® Be Used For?
Lipogems® may be considered for selected musculoskeletal conditions involving:
- Joints
- Tendons
- Soft tissues
- Certain degenerative conditions
- Selected sports-related problems
The treatment is not suitable for every condition. Your clinician will assess your individual diagnosis and discuss whether Lipogems® is an appropriate option.
How Does Lipogems® Treatment Work?
The procedure involves several stages.
1. Your Condition Is Assessed
Your clinician will review your symptoms, diagnosis and medical history to determine whether Lipogems® may be appropriate.
2. Adipose Tissue Is Collected
A small amount of adipose tissue is taken from your own body.
3. The Tissue Is Processed
The collected tissue is prepared using the Lipogems® specialised processing system.
4. The Prepared Tissue Is Introduced
The processed tissue is introduced into the selected treatment area.
5. Aftercare Advice Is Provided
After the procedure, your clinician will explain what to expect and provide personalised advice about recovery and activity.
What Are the Potential Benefits of Lipogems®?
For suitable patients, Lipogems® may offer several advantages as part of a non-surgical treatment approach.
Potential benefits include:
- Uses tissue from your own body
- Minimally invasive procedure
- No traditional open surgery
- May be considered for selected joint and tendon conditions
- May be considered for certain degenerative and sports-related problems
- Can be performed under local anaesthetic where appropriate
- Can form part of a personalised treatment plan
The response to treatment can vary between individuals. Your clinician will explain the potential benefits and limitations based on your condition.
Is Lipogems® Right for You?
Lipogems® is not suitable for every patient or every musculoskeletal condition.
Your clinician will consider your diagnosis, symptoms, medical history and previous treatments before recommending the procedure.
During your consultation, you can discuss your treatment goals and any questions you may have. If Lipogems® is not appropriate, other non-surgical treatment options may be discussed.
What Happens After Lipogems® Treatment?
Your clinician will provide individual advice following your treatment.
Recovery can vary depending on the area treated and the condition being managed. You may need to adjust certain activities for a period while you recover.
Your clinician will explain how to care for the treated area and when you can gradually return to your usual activities.
Personalised Non-Surgical Orthopaedic Care
Lipogems® is one of several minimally invasive treatments that may be considered for selected musculoskeletal conditions.
Depending on your diagnosis, other treatment options may include PRP injections, Tenex®, ultrasound-guided injections, hyaluronic acid treatments, cellular matrix injections or other specialist non-surgical approaches.
The aim is to understand your condition first and then recommend a treatment option that is appropriate for your individual needs.
