Summary
Fast nanofat microneedling combines stamp and roller devices for quicker skin rejuvenation and scar revision. This efficient technique shows good patient satisfaction with no increase in complications.
Area of Science:
- Regenerative Medicine
- Aesthetic Surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Nanofat grafting involves injecting the stromal vascular fraction after mechanical separation of adipocytes.
- Nanofat needling utilizes specialized microneedling devices for uniform application.
- Existing devices include a 24-microneedle stamp and a 64-microneedle roller.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the combined use of microneedling devices for faster nanofat delivery.
- To assess the efficacy of combined nanofat microneedling for skin rejuvenation and scar revision.
Main Methods:
- Prospective evaluation of patients undergoing combined nanofat microneedling.
- Utilized both stamp and roller microneedling devices.
- Evaluated patient satisfaction, complications, and surgical time from January 2019 to January 2020.
Main Results:
- Over 100 treatment areas in 86 patients were treated.
- Achieved short operative times.
- Reported no increase in complications and good patient satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Recommends combining the stamp and roller microneedling devices.
- This combined approach, termed 'fast nanofat microneedling,' decreases procedure time.
- The strategy offers consistent results for skin rejuvenation and scar revision.
