What is Fat Cryopreservation?
Fat cryopreservation or fat bank is a fat preservation service done in a dedicated facility to process it as adipose-derived stem cells (ASC).
ASC, believed to be very effective against a variety of aging-related declines can be stored in a fat bank can be retrieved and used as many times as desired. It is an amazing regenerative medicine that allows for simple and safe ageing care for future use such as improving wrinkles, sagging and fat injection for breast augmentation.
How It Works
Using the technology of cryopreservation, in which the fats are frozen to -196°C for long-term storage after they have been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and coated once collected to keep fats at high quality.
At our affiliated clinic, the fat collection is processed specifically to yield a better quality of fats known as Condensed Rich Fat (CRF). The whole procedure after the fat collection would be done at CellSource, a nationally licensed regenerative medicine center. No chemical reactions are involved throughout the method.

Quality Control of Fat Storage
The facility has been approved by the government for cell processing as well as storage with extremely clean and safe environment.
Moreover, the transportation system used for the cell transferring has also been approved by the US FDA as an advanced technology that does no damage to the cells.
Below are some of the features:
· Handling is for each person
Cell processing is always done separately by each person, the bench would be cleaned after every process.
· Barcode management
The storage is managed with a different barcode for each person.
· Report management

Benefits of Fat Bank
· Only one fat collection
Although the collection will be done by liposuction, it only requires a one-time fat collection which can then be used for numerous reasons at any desired time.
· Easy fat injection
Each session of fat injection for the face as well as breast augmentation will be done easier just like filler injection as no fat collection will be necessary ahead of time.
· Good quality fat
A study from CellSource found that cryopreserved fats contain about 3 times more stem cells than the fats that are not preserved; stem cells play a major role in helping the skin to restore firmness and luster, this contributes to the retention rate of fat as well.
· Maintain fat freshness
Since cryopreservation is used without involving chemicals and storing it at extremely low temperature, the freshness can be maintained throughout.
