Fat-Derived Stem Cell
SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) is a powerful regenerative mixture obtained from a patient’s own fat tissue, containing a high concentration of stem cells and healing cellular components. It includes fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, connective tissue repair cells, growth factors, and angiogenic (vessel-forming) cells. For this reason, it is one of the most effective modern medical aesthetic treatments for tissue regeneration, skin rejuvenation, restoring facial volume, and non-surgical face lifting. Since the treatment is completely autologous (derived from the patient’s own tissue), it is safe, natural, and provides long-lasting results.
How Is SVF Treatment Performed?
1. Fat Harvesting
Fat tissue is gently removed from suitable body areas under local anesthesia.
2. Separation of SVF Stem Cells
The harvested fat is processed using a closed sterile system. Mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, growth factors, and regenerative cells within the fat are separated and concentrated.
3. Application
The obtained SVF stem cell mixture can be applied to:
– Face
– Neck and décolleté
– Scalp (for hair loss)
– Hands
– Depressed/atrophic tissue areas
Indications for SVF Treatment
• Non-surgical face lifting
• Facial rejuvenation
• Restoring facial volume
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Evening out skin tone
• Improving dark circles and under-eye hollowness
• Reducing hair loss and strengthening hair follicles
• Treating acne scars, pits, and traumatic scars
• Improving skin quality and providing natural radiance
Advantages of SVF Treatment
• Completely natural, safe, and autologous (from the patient’s own fat).
• Extremely rich in stem cells.
• Long-lasting effects (2–5 years).
• Stimulates collagen production and regenerates the skin from within.
• No risk of allergic reaction.
• Significant improvement after a single session.
When Are SVF Results Visible?
– Initial effects begin within 2–4 weeks.
– Skin regeneration accelerates between 1–3 months.
– Maximum results are seen between 3–6 months.
– Results may last 2–5 years depending on the individual.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
• Those wanting a natural face lift
• Individuals seeking facial rejuvenation
• Early-stage skin aging
• Fine wrinkles
• Under-eye hollowness
• Uneven skin tone and enlarged pores
• Hair loss problems
• Acne scars and skin texture issues
• Those wanting long-lasting rejuvenation using their own cells
Difference Between SVF and Dermal Fillers
Feature – SVF – Dermal Fillers
Natural appearance – Very high – High
Longevity – 2–5 years – 8–18 months
Cellular regeneration – Present – Absent
Skin quality improvement – Strong – Moderate
Risk – Very low – Low–Moderate
Aftercare Instructions
– Avoid makeup, washing the face, and showering for the first 24 hours.
– Avoid sauna, steam bath, and high heat for 3 days.
– Avoid intense exercise on the first day.
– Follow your doctor’s aftercare protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many SVF sessions are needed?
Usually one session is enough; an additional touch-up may be done after 12 months if needed.
Does SVF work like a filler with instant results?
A slight fullness is noticed immediately, but the main regenerative effect develops within 1–3 months.
Is the procedure painful?
Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure is very comfortable.
How does SVF rejuvenate the skin?
Stem cells stimulate collagen production, repair tissue, and tighten the skin from within.
How long does the procedure take?
The total duration is about 45–60 minutes.
Who is not suitable for the procedure?
• Individuals with active infections
• Cancer patients
• Pregnant women
• Those using blood thinners (doctor consultation required)
Is SVF a risky procedure?
No. Since it uses your own cells, it is one of the safest rejuvenation methods.
Is it effective for hair loss?
Yes. It strengthens hair follicles, reduces shedding, and thickens the hair.
