        Patient & Prescribing Data

        SVF derived from autologous adipose tissue shows regenerative properties; monitor for potential side effects.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Use SVF as a monotherapy for atrophic acne scars.
        • Ensure informed consent and ethical approval before treatment.
        • Select patients without keloidal tendencies or serious comorbidities.
