How it works

The body invited to rebuild what it once held.

Renuva is not a gel filler. It is a matrix, a scaffold derived from the natural components of fat tissue, placed where volume has been lost. On its own it adds a little fullness at first, but its real work is to invite the body in.

Over the following weeks and months, your own cells migrate into the scaffold, and the body replaces it with new fat tissue of its own. The matrix itself is gradually absorbed, and what remains is living tissue rather than a product. Because the result is your own fat, it is restored in a way that lasts differently from filler, and ages with you.

"Before Treatment" Symbol

The consultation

At your first visit

Before anything is decided, your provider studies where fullness has thinned and whether rebuilding it with your own tissue is the right path, rather than the quicker, reversible correction a hyaluronic acid filler offers. Because the result cannot be dissolved, we are especially deliberate in planning it with you.

"During Treatment" Symbol

The visit

Thirty to forty-five minutes

The area is numbed for your comfort, then the matrix is placed by hand where volume has been lost. An initial fullness is normal and expected. It will change in the weeks that follow as the scaffold does its quiet work and your own tissue begins to form.

"After Treatment" Symbol

The months that follow

Builds over months

Expect swelling and some bruising in the first days, settling over one to two weeks. This treatment asks patience above all. The true result is not what you see in the first week but what builds quietly over the months that follow, as the body rebuilds the volume in tissue of its own. Judge it not by the mirror the next morning but by the face you see a season later.

ON METHOD

Build the scaffold, let the body do the rest.

Renuva is unlike any other injectable. It is not what is placed that matters most. It is what your body builds in response. So we place the scaffold thoughtfully, in the right amount, in the right plane, and then we wait.

The wait is the work. Over the following months your own cells migrate in, the matrix dissolves, and what remains is fat tissue of your own. We have not added a product. We have invited your body to rebuild what it had once.

ON RESTRAINT

Less matrix, more patience.

Restraint with Renuva is partly about how much, and partly about when. We place a measured amount where volume has thinned, not as much as we could place. Then we ask you to wait three months before judging the result, six before judging it fully.

A second treatment, if needed, is decided after the first has settled into tissue. To add more before that has happened is to interrupt work the body is still doing.

Patience is the medicine.

ON EXPERIENCE

Place once, with care.

Renuva cannot be dissolved. So unlike with hyaluronic acid, every placement is final in a way that asks the hand to be exceptional. We choose the plane carefully, the entry points carefully, the distribution carefully. We do not over-correct, because we cannot under-correct later.

This is why we are deliberate about when to recommend Renuva. The right candidate, the right area, the right amount, all decided before the hand begins.

ON RETURNING

Not maintained, but visited.

Renuva does not wear off the way filler does. Once the matrix has been replaced by your own tissue, that tissue ages with you. So returning visits are less about maintaining a result and more about checking how the face has settled, and whether a small addition somewhere would balance what time has touched since.

The treatment is more like a building than a subscription. We come back to see what was built, and whether anything has shifted around it.

"Good Candidate" symbol
WHO THiS is FOR

For the patient willing to build slowly.

Renuva suits the person with a loss of fullness, a hollow or a softening of the contour, who would rather rebuild it with their own tissue than maintain a gel filler over the years. It is well suited to areas where natural fat has thinned and a more lasting restoration is wanted.

It is for those with the patience to let a result build slowly, and who like the idea of restoring volume with tissue that becomes, in time, genuinely their own.

"Not A Good Candidate" symbol
WHO THiS is not FOR

For one who likes reversibility, another tool suits better.

Renuva rebuilds volume slowly, in tissue that becomes your own. For the lines that movement creates, a wrinkle relaxer is the right answer, and we would be glad to walk you through that. For a result you can see fully today, or one that can be dissolved and revised easily, a hyaluronic acid filler is the gentler path, and we would say so.

Renuva also rewards patience. The result builds across the months, and unlike a hyaluronic acid filler it cannot be reversed easily. If a quicker, more adjustable correction would suit you better, that is reason enough to choose differently, and we will help you find what does.
