Areas of research

Research continues in skin and hair applications. Small studies do not establish universal efficacy, an optimal dose or long-term safety, and approval cannot be assumed for every indication.

Individual assessment

Goals, alternatives, medical history, tissue-harvest site and risks are reviewed. Infection, bleeding risk, uncontrolled illness and pregnancy require specific assessment; age alone does not determine suitability.

Process, risks and authorisation

Harvesting can cause pain, bruising, bleeding or contour changes; administration can cause infection or other reactions. Processing, sterility and applicable Turkish authorisations must be verified. Autologous origin does not eliminate risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is SVF purified stem cells?

No. It is a mixed cell fraction.

Is it risk-free because it is my tissue?

No. Harvesting, processing and administration each carry risks.
