GlossaryNanofat

processed fat rich in stem cells for tissue regeneration

Nanofat is a type of fat derived from a patient's own body that has been processed into a very fine, liquid form. This processed fat is rich in stem cells and growth factors, which can be injected into the skin to promote tissue regeneration, improve skin quality, and potentially stimulate hair growth in cases of alopecia.
