Nanofat Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation

At our center, we perform nanofat microneedling for skin rejuvenation and to refine skin texture. In 2013, Patrick Tonnard and his colleagues described how to prepare and use nanofat from a patient’s own fat tissue. In 2019, Alexis Verpaele, Patrick Tonnard, and their coauthors introduced the microneedle delivery technique known as Nanofat Needling.

We collect a small amount of your own fat tissue, mechanically process it, and filter it. We then place the prepared nanofat in the reservoir of a microneedle applicator. The physician gently presses the applicator against the skin at successive points across the treatment area. With each press, the microneedles create tiny channels in the skin while the applicator delivers a small amount of nanofat into them.
