Hello! I am Airi Yokoyama, a cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist.
“My cheeks look hollow and aged,”
“I’m concerned about the shadows under my eyes,”
“Hyaluronic acid fades away too quickly.”
For such worries, Condensed Rich Face (CRF) is becoming quite popular.
Today, I will clearly explain what CRF is, and what effects it has, as basic knowledge.
1. What is Condensed Rich Face (CRF)?
- High graft survival rate by injecting purified fat from your own body
- Natural finish with long-lasting results
- Significantly reduced treatment time, easing physical and time burden
Condensed Rich Face (CRF) is a procedure in which fat harvested from your own body is purified and concentrated into condensed rich fat cells before being injected into the face.
Using a special device, the fat is centrifuged and condensed without exposure to air, enabling the injection of sterile condensed fat free from impurities that conventional facial fat grafting could not remove.
Traditional fat grafting achieves about a 40% survival rate, while fat stem cell injection reports around 80%.
Condensed Rich Face can achieve around 90% survival.
With high-quality fat and a superior graft rate, this treatment effectively addresses wrinkles, hollowing, and changes in the facial contour.
2. Advantages of fat injection
- Long-lasting effects : Compared to hyaluronic acid, the fat that has settled in once remains effective for a long time.
- Natural finish : Since it uses your own fat, the texture and feel are natural, making it less noticeable to those around you.
3. Disadvantages and precautions
- Individual differences in retention : Not all injected fat will remain; it is said that approximately 30-70% will take hold. Several sessions may be necessary.
- Downtime involved : There is a possibility of swelling or bruising in both the harvesting area and the injection site, so a recovery period of about 1-2 weeks is required.
- Grits and asymmetry : There are also risks of “grits” or hard lumps being left behind, and asymmetry or unevenness is not zero.
4. Recommended for those who
- Feel burdened by repeated hyaluronic acid treatments
- Want to rejuvenate naturally
- Are concerned about volume loss in their face or body
Summary
Condensed Rich Face is a procedure that utilizes your own fat to achieve ‘natural rejuvenation and treatment for specific areas.’
Although the retention rate varies among individuals, its long-lasting effects and natural results are appealing.
It is not a heavy surgery, but compared to hyaluronic acid injections, it is a bit more invasive.
Therefore, when considering this procedure, it is important to receive thorough counseling at a trustworthy clinic and choose the technique and doctor that best suits you.
f you feel like you’ve been looking older lately or are concerned about your faceline, consider consulting a clinic.
Our clinic welcomes consultations, even if it’s just for advice.
