Exciting Opportunity—Ex-Vivo Photobiomodulation (PBM) of Adipose Tissue to Prepare High-Density Adipose. 

High-density adipose grafts preconditioned with PBM and combined with Platelets, Exosomes, and Plasma Proteins offer an exciting combination that delivers superior results.

    • Higher-density fat corresponds to greater cellularity.  

    • Capturing cells from the SVF fraction increases the cellularity of the graft.

    • Greater cellularity corresponds to better results.

    • Centrifuging fat to isolate the highest density / higher cellularity fraction and SVF (3) (5)  while discarding the infranatant, low-density fat, and oil (1) (2) (4) from the fat graft will increase the density of cells (dose of cells per volume).

    • PRP improves the survivability of the graft.

    • Fat should be harvested using a syringe and in layers between healthy vascularized tissue to
      minimize sheer force.

    • “The lower denser layers contained significantly more adipose-derived stem cells than did the upper layer. The information analyzed highlights the safety and efficacy of AD-MSCs, PRP, and biomaterials on soft tissue defects and chronic wounds, without major side effects.“

    • “Transplanted adipose grafts preconditioned with PBM had better outcomes in a human model of hypertrophic scars.”

    • “Low-level laser illumination may affect ADSCs growth processes and ADSC-assisted lipotransfer for soft tissue deformity, scar treatment, wound healing, and other reconstructive surgery.”

Autologous adipose tissue, concentrated, provides superior clinical outcomes at one-year follow-up without the negative side effects associated with steroid cortisone injections.
