Lipogems are a revolutionary new treatment in the world of regenerative medicine for treating orthopaedic conditions. It works by taking fat tissue from your body and processing it into a unique substance with your natural repair cells. This is then injected into the affected area to enhance healing and provide support within the joint. Book a consultation with one of our specialists to discuss Lipogems for your specific needs.

How Lipogems works from harvest to injection

Lipogems is an outpatient regenerative procedure that uses your own adipose tissue to create an injectable biological product for painful joints.

  • Fat tissue is harvested under local anaesthetic.
  • Processing removes unwanted components while preserving regenerative elements.
  • Prepared Lipogems is injected into the target area using image guidance.

Because the treatment is autologous, biocompatibility is typically high and recovery is usually quicker than many surgical alternatives.

Benefits of Lipogems at London Cartilage Clinic

Lipogems is often selected by patients who want a minimally invasive pathway for osteoarthritis or soft-tissue related joint pain.

  • Single-session outpatient treatment in most cases.
  • Local anaesthetic approach with limited procedural downtime.
  • Supports natural repair signalling from your own biological tissue.
  • May delay or reduce need for more invasive surgery in selected patients.

At London Cartilage Clinic, every Lipogems plan is customised using specialist assessment to ensure the treatment matches your diagnosis, symptom pattern, and activity goals.
