How does Renuva work?
Renuva contains the same growth factors, protein and collagen found in your own fat. Once injected underneath the skin, Renuva creates a honeycomb-like matrix which fills with your own natural fat. Over the course of 3-6 months, the honeycomb-like matrix dissolves while your own fat cells remain in the targeted treatment area. Renuva is ideal for replacing volume related to age-related fat loss as well as for treating depressed scars, cellulite dimples, liposuction irregularities, and other body contour deficiencies.
Renuva is a quick in-office treatment that is non-surgical and does not require any general anesthesia. Treatment typically takes only 30–45 minutes to perform.
Here is what to expect during a Renuva treatment:
Since Renuva naturally integrates with your body’s fat, results develop gradually over time, creating a subtle, long-lasting enhancement.
Renuva can be injected anywhere on the face or body that naturally contains fat.

Renuva is the only off-the-shelf product that replaces lost volume with your own natural fat. The results are natural-appearing and long-lasting (about 7-10 years). Renuva also improves skin quality and texture, improving the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin.
As with any injection, initial bruising and swelling can be expected. The risk of bruising is significantly reduced if Renuva is injected with cannula (blunt tip) rather than with a needle. The results of Renuva are gradual and continue to improve for about 3-6 months. Individual results may vary. More than 1 session may be required.
Most patients experience little to no downtime after Renuva injections. Patients can typically return to normal activities immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24–48 hours.
To optimize results, patients should:
Since Renuva works by stimulating your body's fat growth, full results develop over several months as new fat cells regenerate.
Patients begin to see noticeable improvements within weeks, with full results appearing over three to six months. Since Renuva replaces lost fat with your body’s own tissue, results can last for years. Unlike temporary fillers, which dissolve over time, Renuva provides a more permanent, natural-looking solution for volume restoration and contouring.

Renuva is not a filler, but rather an extracellular matrix that acts as a scaffold for growth of your own fat cells. Filler on the other hand, is a hyaluronic acid gel that is chemically crosslinked to maintain its shape and consistency. Patients treated with fillers over time can develop an unnatural puffy or swollen look often referred to as “filler fatigue.” Filler fatigue swelling results because hyaluronic acid attracts water.
Since Renuva’s honeycomb matrix fills with your own natural fat, the results will last as long as your own natural fat lasts, which is about 7-10+ years. Duration may vary depending on your metabolism, age, diet and lifestyle.
The number of treatments you will need depends on the severity of the volume deficiency. Typically for the face, hands, or small cellulite dimples, only 1-2 treatments are needed. Other large volume deficits like hip dips, buttocks or breast contouring can require 2-3 treatments.
Renuva is an allograft matrix derived from human adipose (fat) cells which contains the structural components of fat including collagen, proteins, and growth factors but does not contain any DNA, red blood cells, or other immunogenic components. Renuva has a proven safety track record with over 30 years in use and more than 10 million graft treatments worldwide.
Sculptra is a collagen stimulator made of PLLA (poly L lactic acid) which gradually stimulates the production of type I and III collagen once injected, whereas Renuva replaces your own natural fat. Results of Sculptra lasts for about 2+ years, whereas results of Renuva last about 7-10+ years.
With fat transfer, fat first needs to be harvested from a donor site. This donor fat goes through a reconstituting process to prepare it for injection. With fat transfer, the area is typically over-corrected with donor fat because only a percentage of the donor fat will survive. Thus, the results with fat transfer are more unpredictable. In addition, injecting fat carries the risk of fat embolism which is caused when fat is inadvertently injected into an artery, leading to potentially serious complications.
Renuva injection does not require liposuction, and has no associated downtime or complications of liposuction. Renuva provides the matrix containing the necessary growth factors and proteins to stimulate the growth of your own fat cells along with the blood vessels required to support the new surrounding tissue.
Renuva should not be injected into muscle, tear troughs (under eye region), nose, lips, glabella (forehead frown line area), or glands.
