Condition
Burns
Mostly preclinical studies.
Quick summary
- • Standard burn care remains primary
Overview
Deep burns require specialist care.
Mechanisms studied
Studied for scar quality and healing.
Human research
Human data is limited.
Safety
Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.
Evidence limitations
Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
