“…Furthermore, it guarantees that the harvesting procedure is performed in a safe plane. The SEFFI cannula allows for collecting adipose tissue already in small cellular clusters avoiding any further mechanical manipulations while allowing high viability and stemness of the micro-fragmented adipose tissue [12,36]. The coding technique for the guided SEFFI use allowed physicians without surgical skills to perform the SEFFI technique in a coded, simple safe, and effective way.…”

“…Regenerative therapy exploits the properties of the cells of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of the adipose tissue to counteract these aging-associated changes. However, regenerative medicine currently resorts to injecting adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) because of their characteristics and easy availability [12][13][14][15][16]. In the last years, several studies proved the efficacy of therapies based on the autologous grafting of adult mesenchymal stem cells to accelerate the healing and regenerative processes of the skin and mesenchymal tissues.…”

Background: The ageing process starts in the center of the face, in the periocular region and around the mouth, with a combination of volume loss and tissue descent, wrinkles deepen, and loss of skin structure and quality. Recently, several studies proved the efficacy of therapies based on the autologous adipose tissue grafting that leverages the properties of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) to accelerate the regenerative processes of the skin. This study aimed to verify the ability of the guided Superficial Enhanced Fluid Fat Injection (SEFFI) in the facial area to correct volume loss and skin aging and proved the very low rate of complications of this standardized procedure . Methods: we retrospectively collected data from 2,365 procedures performed in Italian centers between 2019 and 2021. Guided SEFFI was performed alone or combined with cosmetic treatments, including the use of hyaluronic acid filler, suspension threads, synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite, botulin toxin, and microneedling. Results: SEFFI was used alone in more than 60% of the patients, and in all face areas. In about one tenth of patients SEFFI was combined with botulin toxin treatment or hyaluronic acid filling. Other procedures were used more rarely. Ecchymosis in the donor or injection sites was the most frequent event, and yet observed in only 14.2% and 38.6% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: The SEFFI technique is standardized and minimally invasive, leading to very few complications. It can be a promising antiaging medical treatment that combines effectiveness, safety, and simplicity.
