What is it about?
Cumulative long-term exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation promotes premature skin aging characterized by wrinkle formation and reduced skin elasticity. The authors aimed to assess whether microfat transfer could improve dermal and subcutaneous tissue thickness loss associated with photoaging. Findings revealed autologous microfat transfer as a safe and well–tolerated procedure with measurable beneficial effects on facial skin aging. In particular, authors assessed that autologous microfat transfer could improve dermal and subcutaneous tissue thickness loss in a group of twenty-one patients affected by facial photoaging (photodamage grade II-IV; age range 35-62 years).
