What is Renuva?
Renuva is a groundbreaking treatment that, when injected, gradually replaces age-related fat loss with your body’s own fat.
Proudly produced in the United States, Renuva is safe and effective for replacing volume loss in the face, hands and body.
Renuva contains the same collagens, growth factors and proteins as your own fat. When injected, Renuva is gradually replaced with your own fat cells over the next few months. Post injection, new blood vessels and fat cell formation results in volume restoration – which helps you look natural, youthful and healthy.
Renuva is an off-the-shelf alternative to autologous fat transfer. It is used to restore volume in the face, hands and body in a short, in-office procedure. The adipose allograft is processed to preserve the extracellular matrix containing collagens, proteins, and growth factors found in adipose tissue.
Where is Renuva sourced from?
Cadaver While most dermal fillers feature hyaluronic acid as a primary ingredient, Renuva is made from an allograft adipose matrix which is derived from human fat.
Why is my injector suggesting Renuva rather than a CaHA or HA filler? This filler is best for people who have fat loss. It is great for bio stimulation, can be a longer lasting option, is great for cellulite, post liposuction or surgery where there is some areas of unevenness. Renuva is injected where fat naturally exists, to replace volume where fat loss occurs. It is commonly used to restore age-related volume loss in the face and hands, neck, décolletage and hands, as well as areas of the body where fat supplementing is desired. The treatment is also helpful for erasing cellulite dimples, smoothing liposuction irregularities, and flattening depressed scars.
Will results be immediate?
A few days after treatment, you will look as you did before treatment. This is normal. Over time, Sculptra will replace lost collagen. It takes several weeks to see the effects of this treatment, and the appropriate way to do this is to “treat, wait and reassess” in 12 weeks.
How long do results last?
Results can last for up to two years post treatment. As PLLA is biocompatible, it is naturally absorbed by the body over time.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator. PLLA is a biodegradable, biocompatible substance often found in dissolvable sutures. Sculptra smooths fine lines and deep wrinkles by helping your skin rebuild natural collagen—the filler gel itself dissipates a few days after treatment.
