DR. MAYR TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT

Improve joint function – alleviate discomfort
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition in which the joint cartilage gradually breaks down over time.
Pain, stiffness and reduced mobility are common consequences.
Lipogems® is a modern, minimally invasive treatment that uses the body’s own adipose tissue to help improve joint function and relieve symptoms—without the use of artificial additives.
How does Lipogems® work?
Gentle fat tissue extraction
usually from the abdominal or thigh region under local anesthesia
Preparation in the Lipogems® system
the fatty tissue is filtered and mechanically microfragmented to concentrate regenerative cells and growth factors
Injection into the affected joint
The processed autologous fat is injected directly into the joint space.
The mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors it contains have an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulate self-healing processes and can stabilize the cartilage structure.
Areas of application
- Osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle or smaller joints

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can Lipogems® replace surgery?
Usually not for advanced osteoarthritis – but it can delay operations and significantly alleviate symptoms. The lower the degree of osteoarthritis, the better the expected result.
How often can the treatment be repeated?
If required after 1-3 years.
Are there any side effects?
As the body’s own tissue is used, side effects are rare and usually limited to the donor site (e.g. slight swelling or bruising).
