Lipogems treatment uses your body&#039;s own cells to calm inflammation, improve mobility and delay the need for a prosthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This innovative technique involves injecting micro-fragmented autologous fat, harvested from the patient, purified, and then reinjected into the joint. Adipose tissue is naturally rich in mesenchymal cells, growth factors, and other active compounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they create a regenerative environment capable of reducing joint inflammation, improving lubrication, and promoting greater joint comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is entirely biological, carried out without enzymes or chemicals.

This tissue contains not only cells, but also a network rich in anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its action combines three complementary mechanisms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduction of inflammation, for lasting pain relief.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved joint lubrication, promoting smoother movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulation of tissue regeneration, to slow the progression of osteoarthritis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This triple effect helps create a healthier, less painful environment in the joint. Lipogems does not rebuild destroyed cartilage, but it can slow the progression of osteoarthritis and significantly improve quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the injection work with Dr. Coulin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lipogems treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia or light sedation. The procedure lasts approximately one hour and involves several steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fat sampling<\/strong>&nbsp;(most often in the abdomen or thighs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Immediate purification<\/strong>&nbsp;adipose tissue, in a closed and sterile system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reinjection into the joint<\/strong>&nbsp;using fine needles, under medical guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The after-effects are simple: temporary discomfort may appear at the site of the sample, but daily activities are quickly resumed. Intensive sports should be avoided for two to three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the expected consequences and effects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first benefits usually appear&nbsp;<strong>between 4 and 6 weeks<\/strong>&nbsp;after the injection, with gradual improvement over 3 to 6 months. Among the most common effects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Significant reduction in pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better joint mobility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced use of anti-inflammatories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible slowing of joint deterioration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duration of effectiveness is on average&nbsp;<strong>1 to 2 years<\/strong>, depending on the initial condition of the knee and the patient&#039;s lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regeneration mechanism of Lipogems follows three natural phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inflammatory phase (1 to 3 days): activation of growth factors, sometimes accompanied by slight swelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair phase (1 to 4 weeks): collagen production and progressive improvement of function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remodeling phase (1 to 6 months): tissue stabilization, lasting pain reduction and increased mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lipogems, a natural and innovative alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lipogems treatment is distinguished by its biological and autologous nature: it uses only the patient&#039;s own resources, without any chemical additives. It aligns with the principles of regenerative medicine and offers a natural alternative between conservative treatments and prosthetic surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients find it an effective solution to continue their daily or sporting activities, while delaying the need for a prosthesis for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to know if Lipogems is right for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Coulin sees patients in Geneva for consultations to establish a precise diagnosis, analyze your imaging studies, and determine if Lipogems treatment is suitable for your situation. With his specialized expertise, he offers a personalized strategy to relieve your pain and protect your joints.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if your own fat became a treatment for osteoarthritis?<br \/>\nLipogems is a regenerative solution derived from orthobiological medicine, which uses the cells contained in adipose tissue to soothe inflammation and stimulate repair.
