By using the ultrasonic method, Dr. Victor says he turns the 2 oz. of fat into SVF stem cells of between 0.5 billion and 1.4 billion.

Doctors then use the SVF cells for treatment of various ailments, from regenerative cosmetic procedures to repairing tissues involving damaged knees, back injuries, migraine headaches, and multiple sclerosis.

In the case of IntelliCell, the company focuses more on producing large amounts of SVF cells from just a small amount of autologous fat cells of about 2 oz.

The study also showed that the SVF cells produced by IntelliCell contain all of the viable cells that are manufactured by competing technologies that use enzymes, such as Cytori.
