A scaffold for what's already yours.
Renuva is an off-the-shelf treatment that helps replace age-related fat loss using your body's own fat. It's a bio-compatible extracellular matrix containing the same growth factors, proteins, and collagens found naturally in your own fat. Once injected, Renuva forms a honeycomb-like scaffold that your body gradually fills with its own fat over the following months — leaving only your natural tissue behind.
What to Expect
After injection, Renuva creates a honeycomb-like matrix beneath the skin. Over the course of roughly three to six months, your body gradually fills this matrix with its own fat, while the Renuva scaffold itself is slowly absorbed — leaving behind only your natural tissue, exactly where it's needed. Because Renuva is designed for long-lasting results, providers typically avoid fully correcting a concern in a single session, so more than one treatment is often recommended to reach your desired outcome. There is no real downtime associated with this treatment, though vigorous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours following your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Renuva?
Renuva is an off-the-shelf treatment that helps replace age-related fat loss using your body's own fat. It acts as a scaffold that your body fills in with its own natural fat over time.
What's actually in Renuva?
Renuva is a bio-compatible extracellular matrix containing the same growth factors, proteins, and collagens naturally found in your own fat.
Is Renuva a good alternative to fat grafting?
Yes. Renuva offers a comparable option to small-volume fat grafting, but without the need for liposuction to harvest fat from another part of your body, and with no associated downtime.
How does Renuva work?
Once injected, Renuva forms a honeycomb-like matrix beneath the skin. Over roughly three to six months, your body gradually fills this matrix with its own natural fat while the Renuva material is slowly absorbed, leaving only your own tissue behind.
Is there downtime after treatment?
No significant downtime is associated with Renuva, though it's recommended to avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours following your appointment.
Is Renuva safe?
Yes. Renuva has undergone rigorous safety testing and is regulated by the FDA as a human cell and tissue product for use anywhere fat naturally exists in the body.
How long do results last?
Because Renuva is gradually replaced by your body's own fat, results can last as long as your natural fat cells do — research suggests this can be up to approximately 10 years, though this varies by individual.
Where can Renuva be used?
Renuva can be used anywhere native fat naturally exists in the body, commonly the face, earlobes, neck, décolletage, and hands. It's also effective for contour concerns like hip dips, cellulite dimples, and post-surgical irregularities. Renuva should never be injected into the lips, muscle, or breast tissue.
How many sessions will I need?
Because Renuva is designed for long-lasting results, your provider typically won't aim for full correction in a single session. Most clients benefit from more than one treatment to reach their desired outcome.
