Reason

What we offer at AVAN TOKYO Ginza Joint Regeneration

Director and orthopaedic surgeon

Our director and a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon perform everything from examination to injection. We review where and how long it hurts and your past treatment, and explain suitability and risks before treatment.

Adipose stem cell-derived culture supernatant

No cells are injected. We inject a liquid containing the cytokines and exosomes secreted by stem cells into the joint.

Ultrasound-guided or palpation-guided injection

The dose is adjusted to the size and condition of the joint, and the supernatant is injected accurately into the joint.

Local anesthesia and a fine needle

Local anesthesia is used as needed, with a fine needle. After the injection you rest at the clinic for about 10–15 minutes.

Tax-inclusive prices, explained up front

This is self-pay treatment and is not covered by health insurance. At consultation we first explain the per-session fee, the 3-session course and how often you would visit.

English, Chinese and Vietnamese support

For patients from overseas, we offer consultation on WhatsApp and multilingual support from booking through aftercare.

About

What is a stem cell culture supernatant joint injection?
Illustration of the bones and cartilage of the knee joint
01No cells are injected. We inject into the joint a liquid containing the cytokines and exosomes secreted while adipose stem cells are cultured.
02How it differs from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid injections aim to lubricate the joint. Culture supernatant injections aim to calm inflammation in the joint and support tissue repair.
03Self-pay treatment. Not covered by health insurance. Mild pain or swelling at the injection site may occur and usually settles within a few days.
