Nano-Fat Injection: A Regenerative Approach for Face, Hands & Achilles Tendon
Nano-Fat Injection: Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Regeneration
Nano-fat injection is an advanced, minimally invasive regenerative technique that uses processed adipose (fat) tissue to rejuvenate skin, improve texture, and support tissue repair. Unlike traditional fat grafting, nano-fat contains a high concentration of regenerative cells—including stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and growth factors—without large fat globules, making it ideal for delicate areas.
How It Works: 3 Key Steps
- 1. Fat Harvesting: A small amount of fat (typically 10–30 mL) is gently liposuctioned from donor sites like the abdomen or thighs under local anesthesia.
- 2. Fat Preparation: The harvested fat undergoes emulsification and filtration through specialized micro-filters to break it into nano-sized particles (<500 microns), removing oil, blood, and debris while preserving regenerative cells.
- 3. Nano-Fat Injection: The refined nano-fat is injected using ultrafine cannulas or needles into targeted areas for bio-stimulation, collagen induction, and tissue revitalization.
Common Treatment Areas
- Face: Addresses fine lines, under-eye hollows, dull skin, acne scars, and overall facial rejuvenation with natural-looking results.
- Hands: Restores volume loss, improves skin quality, and reduces visible veins and tendons for a youthful hand appearance.
- Achilles Tendon: Emerging use in sports medicine—nano-fat injections may support tendon healing by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration in chronic tendinopathies.
This procedure is especially valued for its autologous nature (using your own tissue), minimizing allergy or rejection risks. Results develop gradually over 2–6 months as new collagen forms, with effects often lasting 1–3 years or longer.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for both aesthetic patients seeking subtle, natural enhancement and clinical cases requiring soft tissue regeneration. Not recommended for those with active infections, poor wound healing, or unrealistic expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is nano-fat the same as PRP?
A: No. While both are regenerative, PRP uses platelets from blood, whereas nano-fat uses adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells—often offering more structural and volumetric benefits.
Q: How many sessions are needed?
A: Most patients see improvement after one session, but optimal results may require 1–2 treatments spaced 3–6 months apart.
Q: Downtime?
A: Minimal. Mild swelling or bruising may last 3–7 days. Patients typically resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Q: Can it be combined with other treatments?
A: Yes—commonly paired with microneedling, lasers, or hyaluronic acid fillers for synergistic effects.
