MFAT Injections

At FoRM Health, located in Portland, Oregon, we specialize in providing cutting-edge regenerative medicine treatments that provide lasting relief and enhance overall function for patients dealing with chronic injuries or joint pain. One of our most advanced options is MFAT (Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue) injections containing stem cells.

When conservative approaches are not sufficient to address musculoskeletal conditions, we may consider regenerative injections that contain stem cells to help stimulate a healing response. While PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is well-established and effective for many conditions, MFAT injections may be a better option for more advanced cases, such as moderate to severe arthritis, meniscal tears, or substantial partial tendon tears. MFAT can also be combined with PRP for an even stronger regenerative potential.

What is MFAT?

MFAT stands for Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue, a minimally processed form of fat tissue rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), growth factors, and bioactive molecules. This unique composition makes it an ideal regenerative medicine treatment for repairing and regenerating damaged tissues.

Adipose tissue is an abundant source of stem cells and contains essential components like the extracellular matrix, which supports cell survival, growth, and healing. The cellular matrix plays a crucial role by:

  • Providing structural support to tissues
  • Acting as a scaffold for new tissue growth
  • Enhancing cellular communication and coordination for healing

The MFAT Injection Process

When MFAT is injected into a damaged ligament, tendon, joint, or fat pad, your body’s own fat can help promote healing and repair. The process involves:

  1. Harvesting: A small amount of fat tissue is gently removed from areas like the abdomen, flank, or gluteal region via a mini-liposuction procedure.
  2. Processing: The harvested fat is processed using a specialized system* to concentrate the healing components while maintaining the natural structure of the fat tissue.
  3. Injection: The concentrated MFAT is injected into the target area using advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, ensuring precise delivery of the cells and supporting tissue matrix.

*FoRM Health in Portland Oregon currently uses the FDA-cleared miniTC device for MFAT preparation in a same-day, sterile procedure. Since fat, stem cells, and other molecules are taken from the same person being treated, the risk of complications and tissue rejection is minimal.

The Advantages of MFAT Injection Therapy

MFAT injection therapy is more than just a stem cell treatment. In addition to stem cells, MFAT also contains:

  • Extracellular Matrix (ECM): A natural scaffold that helps support tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Vascular Components: Promotes blood flow and tissue oxygenation, aiding in healing.
  • Growth Factors: Proteins that stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
  • Pericytes: Cells that help support the blood vessels and further enhance the tissue repair process.

This combination of elements provides not only stem cells but also an entire regenerative environment that supports long-term healing and tissue repair.

Conditions Treated with MFAT Injections

MFAT is used to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis: Common in the knees, hips, and shoulders but also beneficial for facet joints, ankles, thumbs, and more
  • Tendon Injuries: partial tears of the rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, or more advanced cases of tennis elbow or similar tendon damage
  • Ligament Injuries: Partial tears and chronic sprains
  • Meniscal and Labral Injuries
  • Chronic Joint Pain: Often related to degenerative conditions, cartilage deficits, or past injuries

Benefits of MFAT Injection Therapy

  • Minimally Invasive: Requires a simple outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
  • Comprehensive Healing: Combines stem cells, growth factors, and the extracellular matrix for a multi-faceted healing approach.
  • Uses Your Own Tissue: Reducing the risk of rejection or complications.
  • Long-Term Relief: Patients often experience sustained pain relief and improved joint function over time.
  • Natural Support for Tissue Repair: The matrix and vascular components help create a supportive environment for cell survival and repair.
  • Stem Cell Viability: Adipose stem cells don’t seem to lose viability as we age compared to other sources, such as bone marrow

Who is a Good Candidate for MFAT?

MFAT is an ideal option for patients looking to treat joint pain, injuries, or degenerative conditions without undergoing surgery.* Suitable candidates include:

  • Those with osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
  • Individuals recovering from sports injuries involving partial tendon or ligament tears, or chronic tendonitis
  • Certain cartilage deficits
  • Patients seeking alternatives to surgery for joint or ligament damage.

*Note: Certain orthopedic conditions absolutely require, or would better be addressed by, surgical intervention. We require a comprehensive intake, exam, and imaging before considering MFAT injections in our Portland clinic.

Why Choose FoRM Health for MFAT?

At FoRM Health, we specialize in regenerative medicine. Our Portland, Oregon, clinic offers advanced therapies like MFAT, which contains stem cells, PRP, and prolotherapy. Our skilled physicians use ultrasound imaging and precision techniques to ensure optimal delivery of the healing components.

FDA Disclaimer

Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) Injections are processed and administered in accordance with the FDA’s guidelines under 21 CFR Part 1271 as a Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P). The MFAT procedure involves minimal manipulation of your own adipose tissue and is intended for homologous use, meaning it is used to support the repair, replacement, or reconstruction of damaged tissues.

It is important to note that while MFAT injections are permitted for certain applications under these guidelines, they have not been specifically evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of orthopedic conditions or joint pain. This therapy is used based on clinical judgment, supported by emerging research and patient outcomes.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR THINNING HAIR

WHY I LOVE PRP FOR ANTI-AGING

Regain Your Confidence with PRF Hair Restoration at FoRM Health

We Love Our Patients

“I have loved participating in the Skin Rehab Program! I received 3 treatments per month customized to meet my skin care needs and goals.  With consistent treatments and home care, my skin is smoother, much more even skin tone (fewer dark spots and redness), firmer, and glows.  It just looks so much healthier!  I’m so happy with the results!”

–Look Better Member

“I am fairly new to acupuncture and dry needling and I cannot tell you how lucky I feel to have found THE Trusted Authority when it comes to these modalities. The experience at FoRM has been consistently amazing from beginning to end. I have not been able to stop sharing my experience and the benefits of going to see Dr. Minarik and his team with everybody that I know. They truly listen, are incredibly knowledgeable, candid and they set you up for longtime success/relief.”

–Sports Acupuncture Patient

Over the years, I have had many massages but Aric Naber is the best. He is well versed in muscular structure, intuitive as to how to address any issues and is well respected by athletes that have gone to him for either maintenance or to work through an injury. He is attentive to your concerns and trouble areas and excellent at communicating what he is addressing and why. I would highly recommend him.

–Therapeutic massage client

So thankful for (Dr.) Paul Molina, his help every week has helped keep me together as a professional athlete. Very professional and overall a great person and friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

–Professional Athlete

“Mary Jane is incredible. I arrive to the massage in pain and leave in a healed state, both physically and mentally. She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I would go daily if that were possible. Thank you Mary Jane!”

–Massage therapy patient

Dr Kai Herman and her staff are amazing!  I have been under Dr Herman’s naturopathic care for years. I fully trust Dr Herman with my medical needs and when I heard she was doing PRP facials, I knew I could also trust her with my face/skin care needs. The procedure itself was seamless and done in a comfortable, relaxed setting.  The downtime was minimal.  The results were impressive.  I noticed tighter, firmer skin and an improved complexion.  This will definitely be part of my anti-aging skin care routine!

–PRP Skin Rejuvenation Patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

“Hilary is very thoughtful and a great listener when providing a customized solution. I was new to acupuncture and she was patient and communicative. She really cares for her patients. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

–Acupuncture Patient

“Dr. Herman thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and recommended testing and treatments my PCP has never mentioned. I look forward to continuing my care with her.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Minarik is incredibly knowledgable. He’s been helping me for the last year and he’s top notch. I’ve been impressed with his understanding of both eastern and western treatment options.”

–Dry Needling & PRP Injections Patient

“Dr. Minarik is very skilled and knowledgeable about prp and prolotherapy. He is very thorough and precise in his treatments. He has a very good bedside manner with patients and explains his findings and treatments very thoroughly.”

–Orthobiologic Injections Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your skin’s health is deeply connected to the health of your Lungs and Liver : 

💨 The Lungs rule the skin
In TCM, your lungs control the skin and pores. If they’re weak or dry, you might see dryness, dullness, or eczema flare-ups.
👉 Nourish your lungs with:
• White foods like pears, almonds, radish
• Hydrating herbs like lily bulb and tremella mushroom
• Deep breathing + fresh air (ditch the screens, take a walk!)

🌿 The Liver controls the flow of Qi and blood
A stagnant liver can lead to breakouts, redness, hormonal acne, and a tired-looking complexion.
👉 Support your liver with:
• Leafy greens (dandelion, spinach, chrysanthemum)
• Sour foods like lemon or hawthorn
• Stress relief! Try journaling, movement, or acupuncture

💧 Bonus tip: Drink warm water with goji berries + chrysanthemum to hydrate the skin, soothe the liver, and clear heat.
