The Lipogems method can be used to treat various sports injuries, including fractures, sprains, tendon and cartilage injuries, with the goal of accelerating healing, reducing pain and swelling, and ensuring rapid and complete recovery.
We discuss this with Professor Carlo Tremolada, Scientific Director of Image Regenerative Clinic.
Lipogems for Sports: What Are the Benefits?
Lipogems is an innovative technique that utilizes mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue to accelerate healing of sports injuries. It is a safe and effective treatment that can help athletes, both professional and amateur, recover quickly and more completely after trauma or injury, including overuse injuries.
The Lipogems treatment involves aspirating a small amount of fat from a body area, such as the abdomen. The fat is then microfractured to enhance the bioavailability and clinical efficacy of the present stem cells and other regenerative factors, which are then injected into the injured area.
Mesenchymal stem cells are cells with the ability to differentiate into various cell types, such as muscle cells and cartilage cells. When injected into the injured area using the Lipogems technique, mesenchymal stem cells remain in the healing zone for many months, promoting repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.
Lipogems offers several advantages over other sports injury treatments, including minimal procedure invasiveness, reduced recovery time, and the ability to stimulate natural tissue regeneration. The treatment utilizes the anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells, which can help reduce pain and inflammation while promoting tissue healing.
It is important to note that Lipogems is a medical procedure that must be performed by a qualified physician with specific training in the technology.
