Put Your Fat to Work!™

Better healing using your body’s own fat.

Microfat injections for joint pain, aesthetics, orthopedics, and more!

Microfat is natural processed fat tissue that is used as a biologic treatment in pain management, orthopedics, cosmetic procedures, reconstruction, and wound healing. It has significant advantages over the synthetic cosmetic fillers or botox used in cosmetic procedures, and the steroids or medications used for joint injury or pain.

What is Microfragmented Fat?

Microfragmented Fat, technically called Microfragmented Adipose Tissue and informally called Microfat or MFAT, is fat tissue (adipose tissue) harvested from your own body, then processed to remove unwanted substances and concentrate your natural stem cells.

Microfat has many uses and many advantages over alternative treatments.

MiniTC® in Use

Ideal For

If pain injections haven’t worked for you, and you’re looking for non-surgical relief, microfat injections for joint pain may be your best option. Using your own body fat processed by the MiniTC® Adipose Processing System into regenerative microfat, this option helps you avoid surgery (and costs far less!). It’s safe and effective, and poses minimal risk.

Benefits include reducing pain (e.g. shoulder pain, elbow pain, knee pain), decreasing inflammation, helping repair cartilage and soft tissue injuries, improving healing, and facilitating a prompt return to an active lifestyle.

Sprains and soft tissue injuries can be both painful and lingering. A microfat injection using your own body’s fat, processed by MiniTC into regenerative microfat, may be your best option. Costing far less than surgery, a microfat injection is safe, effective, and has minimal risk.

Benefits include reducing pain, decreasing inflammation, helping repair cartilage and soft tissue injuries, improving healing, and facilitating a prompt return to active lifestyle.

Sports are not just for athletes – they’re for anyone who wants to keep fit and engaged and live an active lifestyle. But with the benefits comes the risk of orthopedic injuries such as sprains, fractures, tendonitis, and soft tissue injuries.

A microfat injection using your own body’s fat, processed by MiniTC into regenerative Microfat, may be your best option. Costing far less than surgery, a microfat injection is safe, effective, and has minimal risk.

Active lifestyle benefits include reducing pain, decreasing inflammation, helping repair cartilage and soft tissue injuries, improving healing, and facilitating a prompt return to active lifestyle and sport activities.

Aesthetic procedures (such as facelifts) are popular for one simple reason: people want to look and feel their best. A procedure using your own microfat processed by MiniTC is longer-lasting than synthetic filler or botox, carries little to no risk of rejection, is rich in regenerative cells, and produces excellent results.

Aesthetic procedures include facial ligament rejuvenation; anti-aging improvements such as skin texture, wrinkles, fine lines and acne scars; and addition of volume.

Reconstructive procedures repair parts of the body affected by defects that you were born with, that have developed because of disease, or that have been caused by injury. A procedure that carries low-to-zero risk of rejection, and produces excellent, long-lasting results can be achieved by MiniTC, which uses your own body fat for microfat grafting rich in regenerative cells.

Reconstructive surgery includes restoring fullness and shape, adding volume, decreasing skin sag, erasing stretch marks, and breast reconstruction.

Whether due to edema, poor circulation, repetitive trauma, infection, or other causes, slow-healing or non-healing wounds are painful and full of risk. A microfat injection using your own body’s fat, processed by MiniTC into regenerative microfat, may help your wound heal.

Wound healing benefits include improving blood circulation to chronic wounds, decreasing inflammation and pain, and promoting faster healing and regeneration.

Marie Caronti, Retired

Marie Caronti, 88 years old, had knee pain so severe she could not walk. Injections gave her relief for two weeks only. After one treatment with microfat from Jointechlabs, she has been pain free and has returned to an active lifestyle.

“They numbed my stomach, took the fat out, and he put it into my hip and into my knee. I didn’t feel anything. I am able to cook. I go up and down the stairs – cautiously – and I get in and out of the car by myself. I don’t have to have anybody help me. I am very satisfied with the outcome.”

Extended Interview

What about PRP?

Your doctor may offer you a choice among orthobiologic treatments such as microfat or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP is often priced lower but requires more treatments, so that microfat actually costs less. Here are some other points to consider when considering microfat or PRP:

	Microfat (MFAT)	Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Healing Power	Contains regenerative stem cells that actively promote healing and tissue repair.	Does not contain regenerative stem cells.
Healing Power	Reduces inflammation. Manages symptoms.	Reduces inflammation. Manages symptoms.
Symptom Relief	Long-lasting relief and cushioning for joints.	Temporary relief but no structural repair or cushioning.
Duration of Results	Up to 2 years or longer.	6-12 months, may require repeat treatments.
Invasiveness	Minimally invasive. Onetime procedure.	Less invasive. Often requires more visits.
Fat Removal	A small amount of fat is removed, usually from belly or buttocks.	None.
Time Commitment	Single visit requiring about an hour.	3-6 visits, 4-6 hours total, multiple blood draws.
Cost	Patient pays for a one- time procedure.	Patient pays less per procedure but can require multiple procedures.
Contraindications	May not be indicated for extremely thin people. Can be used in most situations where PRP cannot. (Please review with your doctor).	Cannot be used: -with anticoagulant meds. -by cigarette smokers. -by those with low platelet or HGB counts. -by those with history of liver disease, others. (Please review with your doctor).
Convenience	-One-time treatment. -Longer relief. -Fewer appointments.	-Generally multiple visits. -Shorter relief. -More appointments.
Best For…	Patients seeking long-lasting, regenerative repair.	Patients managing mild symptoms or seeking short-term relief.

Advanced Arthritis Sufferers:

If you are a Stage 3 or 4 osteoarthritis sufferer, and you are trying to avoid or delay surgery, you must consider that PRP, even at high doses, provides only limited, short-term relief, while the disease continues to progress. Spending money on PRP for people at this stage has limited value, and in fact can lead to frustration. Patients with Stage 3 or 4 OA are particularly good microfat candidates.
