Reborne Longevity, is committed to bringing our members the most advanced, evidence-based therapies to support healthy aging and peak physical performance. One of the most common age-related concerns we see—particularly among active adults and high-performing individuals—is knee osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative condition that can severely impact mobility and quality of life.

Traditionally, treatment options for OA have been limited to pain management strategies like corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid injections, or eventually joint replacement surgery. However, exciting developments in regenerative medicine are reshaping the landscape.


What is Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)?


SVF is a potent mixture of regenerative cells derived from a patient’s own fat tissue. It contains:

·      Mesenchymal stem cells

·      Immune cells

·      Growth factors

·      Extracellular matrix components

Together, this cellular ecosystem supports inflammation reduction, tissue repair, and even cartilage regeneration—making SVF one of the most promising biologic therapies for osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal rejuvenation.


The Study: Comparing the Most Effective Injections


Researchers examined a wide range of injection therapies used to treat knee OA, including:- Corticosteroids- Hyaluronic acid- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)- SVFThe goal was to determine which of these interventions provided the greatest relief from pain and improvement in function over a period of up to 12 months.


Key Findings: SVF Stands Out


- Superior Pain Relief: SVF injections delivered the greatest reduction in pain, outperforming all other therapies, including PRP and MSCs.- Sustained Results: Patients experienced continuous improvement, with effects lasting up to a full year post-injection.- Enhanced Joint Function: Not only did SVF reduce pain, but it also significantly improved mobility and joint function, allowing patients to return to an active lifestyle.


What This Means for Reborne Members


This research aligns with our philosophy at Reborne Longevity: to offer cutting-edge, minimally invasive therapies that restore vitality and extend quality of life.

SVF is more than just a treatment for joint pain—it represents a regenerative tool that supports:

·        Post-surgical recovery

·        Athletic rehabilitation

·        Long-term joint preservation

·        Inflammation modulation (a key driver of aging and chronic disease)

·      SVF injections may not only help to delay or avoid surgery but also support systemic rejuvenation by modulating inflammation—a key factor in aging and many chronic diseases.

 

That’s why SVF therapy is being considered for integration into our Elite Joint Longevity Program, designed for high-performance individuals and those navigating chronic musculoskeletal challenges.


Is SVF Right for You?


Our clinical team will soon begin offering SVF consultations to select Reborne members as part of our personalized longevity pathways. If you are experiencing joint pain, have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, or are seeking proactive regenerative care, we encourage you to speak with one of our longevity doctors about your options.
