Are you lacking volume or elasticity on any areas of your skin? Are you suffering from any discoloration, scarring, or wrinkles? Luckily, we at Sleep & Wellness have the perfect, all-natural remedy for you: Microfat and Nanofat grafting.
Microfat:
- Tiny fat particles extracted from an area in your body more concentrated in fat cells
- Fat particles are then transferred to the area of the body that seeks more volume, restoring that volume and elasticity.
Nanofat:
- Tiny fat particles extracted from your body the same way as microfat.
- Treated to extract Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) which produce collagen to provide effective regeneration to the skin through healing fine lines, scarring, and discoloration.
How they work together
- Microfat brings volume back to the skin and nanofat regenerates any skin damage.
- Together, they provide a full rejuvenation to the skin to bring a more youthful look.
Ideal Candidates:
- People who have lost volume and gained skin damage due to aging.
- People who are looking to add volume to any part of their body. Popular areas include: cheeks, jawline, temples, lips, chin, and eyebrows.
- People looking to rejuvenate their skin and reduce scarring, discoloration, and wrinkles/fine lines.
