Nano-lipofilling: regenerating tissue and restoring the skin’s youthful appearance

Nano-lipofilling, a specific fat injection technique

Nano-lipofilling, also known as nano-lipostructure or nanofat grafting, is an innovative method based on injecting stem cells and growth factors into the dermis. The technique goes further than simply restoring the volumes offered by conventional lipofilling, since these cells regenerate the dermis and improve the texture, quality and radiance of the skin naturally and lastingly.

It is therefore not only a matter of looking younger, but of restoring the youthfulness of your skin. Please note that nano-lipofilling is still not widely practised in France, as it is a recent procedure and little known among facial aesthetic surgeons. For this reason it is essential to choose a qualified practitioner with the latest equipment and a trained team.

I will be glad to explain this regenerative medicine technique to you in detail at an aesthetic consultation, after a careful examination of your features.

Nano-lipofilling: what are the indications?

I recommend nano-lipofilling to my patients in the following cases:

• To correct superficial skin damage and improve skin texture
• To fade wrinkles, blemishes and acne scars
• To treat the under-eye circles by thickening the skin and making it less transparent
• To improve the appearance of unsightly scars and damaged skin.

Some clinical trials have also shown that the technique stimulates hair regrowth and can regenerate the vulvovaginal area.

How does nano-lipofilling work?

Nano-lipofilling can be considered after an initial consultation at which I examine your face and its particular features and rule out any contraindication to the procedure. It takes place in the operating theatre and lasts about 1 hour. It is performed under neuroleptanalgesia or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient.

I begin by taking a small amount of fat with a syringe from your abdomen, thighs or inner knees. These fat cells are then cleaned of impurities and filtered many times over to obtain a fluid rich in stem cells.

Using a fine cannula, I inject this solution superficially into your face or into the under-eye circles, depending on the indication. Placed in a favourable environment, the cells then mix naturally with the cells already present and gradually regenerate the skin tissue, making it brighter, more luminous and healthier.

The technique carries a very limited risk of rejection or allergy, because no synthetic product is injected into the body, only the patient’s own fat.

Nano-lipofilling, a technique that gives lasting results

The technique gives long-lasting results. Volumes are restored, wrinkles treated and skin tissue regenerated in a single procedure. What is more, nano-lipofilling is the only safe and effective method for masking the under-eye circles.

It does, however, involve a short period away from social life, 5 to 7 days, because of a few bruises at the injection sites. There is no major skin trauma or complication. Finally, I will give you a few recommendations to follow in the days after the procedure, so that everything goes smoothly.
