nFat Regenerative Therapy
nFat, or nano Fat, represents a breakthrough in regenerative medicine, offering a potent and targeted approach to treating osteoarthritis and other conditions. At London Cartilage Clinic, our nFat therapy uses finely processed adipose tissue, broken down into nano-scale particles to maximise surface area and regenerative potential.
The science behind nFat
targeted regenerative care
nFat is processed into very fine adipose-derived particles, creating a high-surface-area biological product designed for intensive cellular signalling.
- Rich in regenerative cell populations and anti-inflammatory mediators.
- Useful when focused, high-potency biological support is required.
- Commonly applied in osteoarthritis and selected cartilage-related conditions.
Because nFat is highly refined and shorter-lived than other fat formats, it is typically prepared and delivered fresh for best effect.
nFat vs mFat
key clinical differences
Both options are autologous adipose-based therapies, but they are processed differently and may suit different treatment goals.
- Particle size: nFat is more finely processed than mFat, enabling broader micro-distribution.
- Potency profile: nFat is often chosen for higher-intensity biological signalling.
- Duration: nFat generally has a shorter persistence, while mFat may provide longer biological presence.
- Selection: choice depends on pathology, tissue targets, and your treatment timeline.
At consultation, we assess imaging, symptoms, and prior treatment response to select the most appropriate fat-based regenerative strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does nFat Differ from Other Fat Therapies Like uFat and mFat?
While all these therapies utilise micro-fragmented adipose tissue, nFat is processed into even smaller pieces, providing a greater surface area for interaction and a more potent therapeutic effect, albeit with a shorter duration of efficacy.
What Are the Primary Applications of nFat Therapy?
nFat is primarily used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, offering relief from joint pain, aiding in cartilage repair, and improving overall joint function.
Is nFat Therapy Long-Lasting?
Due to its fine structure, nFat has a shorter half-life compared to other fat therapies, and is typically used in fresh preparations for optimal effectiveness.
