Welcome to AVAN TOKYO
AVAN TOKYO Ginza is a clinic in Ginza 1-chome, Tokyo. Our joint regenerative medicine treats pain in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle and other joints by injecting stem cell culture supernatant into the joint, and we welcome patients from overseas.
Japanese regenerative medicine is highly regarded worldwide for its advanced technical proficiency, safety standards, and meticulous attention to detail. At our clinic, we strive to ensure that everyone can receive treatment with confidence, carefully attending to language barriers and cultural differences.
Characteristics of Japanese Regenerative Medicine
In Japan, research on regenerative medicine and its clinical use are progressing, and it is provided under standards based on law. The stem cell culture supernatant we use is manufactured under quality control.
Furthermore, Japanese medical institutions value careful examination and consultation for each individual patient. We have established an environment where patients can receive treatment with peace of mind, including detailed pre-treatment explanations and meticulous post-treatment follow-up care.
Regenerative Medicine Provided at AVAN TOKYO
In our joint regenerative medicine, stem cell culture supernatant derived from adipose stem cells is injected into the joint. The cells themselves are not injected.
The main joints treated are the knee (such as knee osteoarthritis), shoulder (such as frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injury), elbow and wrist (such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow), ankle and hip. The treatment aims to reduce inflammation inside the joint and support tissue repair. Joint examinations and injections are performed by the clinic director and a board-certified orthopedic surgeon.
Results vary from person to person. This is elective (self-pay) treatment, so Japanese health insurance does not apply.
Treatment Process
For patients visiting from overseas, we also accept advance consultations via email or online communication. We can provide detailed explanations regarding treatment content, costs, length of stay, and other matters prior to your arrival in Japan.
Upon your visit to the clinic, we first conduct a thorough consultation. We carefully inquire about your concerns, desires, health status, and other relevant factors to propose the most appropriate treatment method.

The Japanese medical system may be unfamiliar to international visitors. Our clinic provides regenerative medicine as elective medical care rather than insurance-covered treatment. Therefore, international visitors who are not enrolled in Japanese health insurance can receive treatment.
Regarding costs, we clearly present fees prior to treatment and inform patients in advance when there is a possibility of additional costs arising. We accommodate payment methods flexibly, so please consult with us.
Regarding Length of Stay
Each joint injection takes about 30 to 40 minutes including preparation and is completed on the same day. Afterwards, please rest at the clinic for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Several injections may be recommended. As a guide, injections are given once every two weeks for the first one to two months. We will suggest intervals that fit your stay, so please discuss this at the consultation.
We explain the length of stay in advance and propose a treatment plan that fits your schedule.
