GlossaryNanofat Grafting (Nanofat Injection)

involves injecting processed fat to rejuvenate skin or treat hair loss

Nanofat Grafting, also known as Nanofat Injection, is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of the body, processing it to isolate regenerative cells, and then injecting it into areas requiring rejuvenation or repair. This technique is often used to improve skin quality, reduce wrinkles, and treat hair loss by leveraging the regenerative properties of stem cells and growth factors found in the processed fat.
