NanoFat
The facts - for physicians.
What is NanoFat?
A viable adipose product that can be injected intradermally with a 27g - 30g needle. It contains virtually the same viability as the native adipose tissue, while retaining its original form around vascular structures allowing it to fall within the regulatory guidelines of minimal manipulation under the same surgical exception. TRUE NanoFat is pure and natural from its source, and its nature is regenerative.
The Discovery
TRUE NanoFat System by Tulip
Several years ago, leaderhsip at Tulip® Medical noticed the impressive clinical outcomes Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele (Ghent, Belgium) were presenting and publishing on using what they termed 'nanofat'. While their results with nanofat were obvious, their process for producing nanofat was not easily reproducible outside of their facility. In addition, the characterization of nanofat had not yet been established. So, Tulip collaborated with Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele to develop a clinically validated system for processing nanofat. Once the process was established, Tulip collaborated with Dr. Ramon Llull (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) to characterize the nanofat produced by that system. The result of these collaborations and Tulip's product development is Tulip's TRUE NanoFat System.
TRUE: Through & Through
-
Nothing is added or taken away from the original adipose harvest other than unwanted fluids.
-
Meets the injectability criteria of the pioneers of NanoFat, Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele.
-
It fulfills Tulip's intention to deliver the benefits of fat to millions.

Wound Healing & Scar Revision
- NanoFat can soften scars, improve skin discolorations and texture, as well as reduce contracture and the pain associated with the skin tightness.
- NanoFat's small particle size allows intradermal injections through a 30-gauge needle. This allows the clinician the treat scars by penetrating across the scar layer, stimulating the rejuvenation of the skin tissue.
- NanoFat jumpstarts the wound healing cascade with its ability to help regenerate the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
- NanoFat can be injected in small and delicate wound areas utilizing its small particle size and small needle injectibility.

Microneedling
- As a composite procedure, NanoFat is delivered typically using Mirconeedling to encourage rejuvenation of the skin.
- NanoFat particles are small enough to enter the microincisions made by the microneedling device targeting the deeper superficial layer of the dermis activating the collagen production.

Topical Post Resurfacing
- Following skin resurfacing procedures, NanoFat can be used topically as a gel like cream to accelerate the healing process. The clinician can also create a personalized NanoFat cream to be used by the patient at home as part of their post-op care.
- NanoFat particles are small enough to enter the microabrasions caused by the resurfacing procedure.
