Nanofat hair restoration (Nano PRP)
What is Nano PRP Hair restoration?
Fat grafting is more than a century old, but there is a renewed interest amongst practitioners after the discovery of the adipose derived Stem cells (ADSCs) in fat in 2001. These stem cells have strong regenerative powers and are used for a wide range of indications from skin rejuvenation, scar reduction, wound healing to even hair regrowth.
Did you know that your fat has around 500 times more ADSCs than your bone marrow? With fat being much easier and safer to procure compared to the bone marrow, researchers are focusing on fat as a storehouse of stem cells.
Stem cells are being commonly used in hair restoration, starting from plant stem cells, stem cells in blood like the platelet rich plasma or platelet rich fibrin matrix. Recent studies show promising results in the use of PRP along with nanofat or the stromal vascular fraction derived from fat. Unlike PRP, which usually requires multiple sessions, a single session of nanofat procedure gives longer lasting results.
The Nano PRP procedure consists of harvesting small amounts of microfat from the body, preferably the abdomen or hip under local anesthesia and purifying and processing the microfat into nanofat, which is then filtered so that it can be easily injected. The nanofat basically does not contain any fat cells but is a rich source of regenerative stem cells. This nanofat is usually mixed with PRP and injected via tiny injections into the target tissue, which is the scalp for hair loss. It can be also delivered via micro needling. When introduced into areas of thinning hair, it helps to improve hair thickness and density. Both men and women can undergo this innovative procedure which can be done under an hour without any stitches or admission!

Nano PRP Hair Restoration treatment usually takes just a single sitting to show the results. Thus, the use of nanofat and PRP has longer and more effective results than
traditional PRP, which usually requires several sessions. However, the number of sessions needed can be more or less depending on the patient’s condition and his/her
reaction to the treatment. An appointment with our dermatologist will be scheduled to assess if further sessions are required.
Nano PRP Hair Restoration is very safe. The procedure involves the use of the patient’s fat and the platelet-rich plasma, thus eliminating the possibility of allergic reactions or side effects. It entails the following: Micro fat is harvested from the patient’s body under local anaesthesia, the micro fat is then purified and processed into nanofat and then mixed with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and injected in the scalp. The procedure is done with minimal incisions, and no suturing is needed, and the surgery is done by qualified personnel to reduce the risks.
Before undergoing the Nano PRP treatment, it is advisable to:
Consultation: Book an appointment with one of our dermatologists to determine whether you are a good candidate for the treatment and to review your treatment history and any prescriptions.
Avoid Blood Thinners: Do not use aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs, or any other blood-thinning medications for at least one week prior to the procedure, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.
Healthy Lifestyle: Avoid taking foods that are hard to digest and ensure that you take a lot of water to help in the healing and recovery process.
Clean Scalp: It is recommended that the scalp should not contain any hair products the day of the treatment.
Nano PRP Hair Restoration is generally safe for patients with few side effects that are reported by patients. When obtaining the microfat, local anesthetic is used to help reduce the pain that the patient may feel during the procedure. The subsequent injections of nanofat mixed with PRP into the scalp are carried out with the help of micro-needles and cause only slight pain. The majority of patients state that they feel only slight pain, and if they do feel pain, it is only for a short time.
Avoid Washing Hair: Do not wash your hair for at least 24-48 hours post-procedure.
Gentle Care: Be gentle with your scalp and avoid harsh hair products or treatments for a few days.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your scalp from direct sun exposure by wearing a hat or using sunscreen if you need to be outdoors.
Follow Aftercare Instructions: Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our specialists, which may include the use of prescribed topical treatments or avoiding certain physical activities.
Healthy Lifestyle: Continue to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and manage stress to support hair health and enhance the treatment's effectiveness.
