Renuva is a non-surgical injectable treatment that replaces lost volume by triggering your body to grow new fat cells. At Lentz Plastic Surgery in Ormond Beach, FL, we use the Renuva procedure to restore facial and body contours without the need for fat grafting, surgery, or extended downtime.
What Is Renuva?
Renuva is an off-the-shelf injectable made from donated fat tissue. Once injected, it prompts your body to regenerate fat in the treated area. It acts as a scaffold, allowing your fat cells to develop gradually.
This treatment is often used as a non-surgical alternative to fat grafting. Renuva injections work well in areas like the face, hands, or minor body indentations. It’s a good fit for those looking for subtle, long-term results with minimal intervention.
How Does the Renuva Procedure Work?
Renuva is injected into areas with volume loss using a small needle or cannula. The treatment usually takes under an hour and is done in-office. Most patients describe it as a quick, low-discomfort procedure.
Once injected, Renuva encourages your body to build fat in that area. Results appear gradually over the next few months as the new fat develops. There’s no need for anesthesia or recovery time.
Renuva vs. Traditional Fat Grafting: Which Option Is Right for You?
Fat grafting requires surgery to harvest fat from one area and transfer it to another. It involves anesthesia, recovery time, and more variables in fat survival.
Renuva fat grafting avoids those steps. It doesn’t require liposuction and has a simpler recovery. It’s best for small areas of volume loss, while traditional grafting may be better for larger areas.
Some patients choose CoolSculpting to reduce unwanted fat first, then use Renuva to fine-tune contours.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Renuva?
Renuva is ideal for patients who want mild to moderate volume correction without surgery. This may be a good option if you’ve noticed facial hollowing, thinning skin on the hands, or minor contour irregularities.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The appointment typically lasts less than an hour. After numbing the area, Renuva is injected into the targeted zone. Mild swelling or tenderness is common and resolves within a few days.
Full results develop over one to three months as fat regeneration takes place.
