Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon’s Breakthrough Nanofat Treatment Featured in New Beauty Article

Philadelphia, PA—R. Brannon Claytor, MD, FACS, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Main Line Health and award-winning facelift surgeon in Philadelphia, is gaining national attention after New Beauty® recently featured his proprietary LaMiNa treatment. The article, Nanofat Plastic Surgery Is the Next Big Trend You Need to Know About, highlights the growing trend of nanofat use in both clinical and aesthetic medicine, emphasizing its holistic approach to rejuvenation and superior outcomes that were once thought unachievable with a minimally invasive procedure alone.

Nanofat is a refined form of fat that is harvested from the patient and processed down to its smallest regenerative components. The remaining solution is rich in both anti-inflammatory and restorative properties. Nanofat’s uses and benefits far surpass conventional fat grafting methods. Traditional fat transfer procedures are primarily used to add volume, while nanofat works on a cellular level to significantly enhance the skin’s ability to heal itself and naturally rejuvenate. Nanofat helps rebuild collagen and other key dermal structures, improving a range of concerns including lines, rough skin texture, and volume loss in aesthetic procedures.

“The use of nanofat represents a significant advancement in regenerative and aesthetic medicine, and we are thrilled to see LaMiNa recognized on such a prominent platform,” says double-board certified plastic surgeon and facial rejuvenation expert Dr. Claytor. “I have dedicated many years of clinical research to understanding nanofat and how best to use its benefits to achieve more comprehensive results for my patients. I’m honored to be able to share the success of this treatment and make a meaningful contribution to the aesthetic community.”

In addition to the New Beauty article, Dr. Claytor continues to gain notoriety for his clinical research and success with implementing nanofat grafting into his aesthetic practice, having won “Best Non-Surgical Publication” at the prestigious Beauty Through Science conference in Stockholm, Sweden for his groundbreaking research on LaMiNa earlier this year.

Dr. Claytor’s novel LaMiNa treatment incorporates nanofat grafting to effectively address barcode lines—fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth that are notoriously difficult to treat. The treatment involves a three-step process performed in a single procedure at his Philadelphia plastic surgery center. First, laser skin resurfacing uses targeted CO2 lasers to remove the outer layer of damaged skin. This process significantly diminishes existing lines and wrinkles and stimulates the body’s natural healing response, resulting in new collagen and elastin formation beneath the skin—essential proteins that give the skin structure, volume, and elasticity. Dr. Claytor then uses microneedling to create micro-punctures in the skin. Microneedling also triggers a healing response to enhance collagen and elastin production further and primes the skin to receive the nanofat.

The final and most impactful step of the LaMiNa treatment is nanofat grafting. Dr. Claytor harvests a small amount of fat from the patient and carefully processes it before applying it to the treatment area. The tiny punctures formed in the skin after microneedling allow the regenerative properties within the nanofat to deeply penetrate the skin and accelerate healing. The combined results of these three processes deliver smoother, more volumized skin with minimal downtime, and all patients in the study reported no pain following the procedure.

The New Beauty article champions how Dr. Claytor’s LaMiNa technique (Laser + Microneedling + Nanofat) stands out as a groundbreaking treatment combination that effectively reduces fine lines and restores youthful volume around the lips, particularly for his facelift patients.

Dr. Claytor notes, “Trying to pull the mouth area tight during a facelift creates an unnatural, windswept appearance, and fillers are simply not designed to address the root causes of volume loss that contribute to barcode lines around the mouth. LaMiNa restores the lost volume that allowed lines to form in the first place. Patients see an immediate improvement in these surface-level concerns and, because we have amplified collagen and elastin production, the initial results continue to enhance over the following months as the nanofat stimulates deeper skin rejuvenation and better skin health.”
