uFat focuses on gentle adipose processing to better preserve cellular architecture and stromal vascular niches that support tissue repair.
uFat and mFat are both valuable; selection depends on tissue target, required potency, and treatment objectives.
uFat is minimally invasive and designed to deliver regenerative tissue support with less disruption than more aggressive processing techniques.
At London Cartilage Clinic, uFat is integrated into a full care plan that includes diagnosis, procedural precision, and follow-up to track clinical response.


uFat therapy differs in its focus on preserving the structural integrity and cellular composition of adipose tissue. This results in a product richer in mesenchymal Stem Cell / Medicinal Signaling Cells, offering more potent regenerative properties.
uFat therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, tissue injuries, and in cosmetic applications for tissue regeneration and anti-aging treatments.
Recovery times for uFat therapy are typically minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities within a short period. However, the specific recovery time can vary depending on the individual case.
