Lipogems is an innovative regenerative orthobiologic treatment that uses your own body’s fat tissue — rich in reparative cells (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) — to support natural healing and reduce pain in injured or degenerative joints and soft tissues. Unlike traditional surgery, Lipogems is minimally invasive, performed under local anaesthetic, and designed to help your body heal itself.
The procedure typically takes around 1 hour and is done as a day-case treatment, with most patients resuming normal daily activities in 1–2 weeks
Lipogems is effective for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly when conservative treatments (like physiotherapy or steroid injections) haven’t provided lasting relief:

Lipogems is a minimally invasive regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own fat tissue to harvest natural reparative cells. These are then injected into areas of injury or degeneration to reduce inflammation, support healing, and restore function — all without surgery.
Lipogems is commonly used to treat:
No, Lipogems is not surgery. It’s a day-case, non-surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic. Fat is gently harvested from your body and processed in a closed-loop system before being injected into the target area.
The entire procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, including fat harvesting, processing, and reinjection. Patients can usually go home the same day and return to light activity shortly after.
Many patients begin to notice improvements within 2–8 weeks, depending on the condition treated and the area of injection. Improvements may continue to develop for several months, especially when combined with physical therapy.
Yes. Lipogems uses your own fat tissue, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. It is CE-marked in Europe, FDA-cleared in the US, and has been used successfully in thousands of procedures worldwide.
Ideal candidates include those with chronic joint pain or soft tissue injuries who want a non-surgical option, or those who are not ready or eligible for joint replacement surgery. A full medical assessment is required to determine suitability.
In most cases, Lipogems is considered a private-pay procedure and is not typically covered by the NHS or private insurance. Contact RRMG directly for pricing, finance options, and consultation availability.
