Facial volume loss and fat atrophy is an unavoidable fact of facial aging. There are many treatment options available to replenish volume loss, including facial implants, fat transfer, hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulatory fillers. FPSA is pleased to offer a new alternative, Renuva.


What is Renuva?

Renuva, a non-surgical, injectable treatment that can be used to restore volume loss in the face, hands, and body. It is refined from a processed form of human adipose tissue, the same type of tissue that makes up fat cells. When injected, Renuva creates a support matrix that encourages the body to regenerate its own fat cells. This results in long-lasting, natural-looking volume restoration.


How does Renuva work?

Renuva provides a scaffold for the body's fat cells to grow on. When injected, the product creates a temporary matrix that supports and encourages the growth of new fat cells. Over time, the body breaks down the matrix and replaces it with its own fat cells. This process can take up to three months, but the results can last 10 years or more.


What are the benefits of Renuva?

Renuva offers many benefits over other non-surgical volume restoration treatments, including:

Long-lasting results: Renuva can last 10 years or more, which is longer than the results of other treatments, such as hyaluronic acid fillers.

Natural-looking results: Renuva uses the body's own fat cells to restore volume, so the results look natural and are less likely to migrate or cause lumps.

Minimal downtime: Renuva is a minimally-invasive procedure that can be performed in an office setting. There is typically no downtime, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately.


Who is a good candidate for Renuva?

Renuva is a good option for people who are looking for a non-surgical way to restore volume loss in the face, hands, or body. It is also a good option for people who are looking for long-lasting results.


Are there any risks associated with Renuva?

As with any injections, there are some risks associated with Renuva, including:

Infection

Bruising

Swelling

Pain

Allergic reaction

However, these risks are rare and typically minor.


Summary

Renuva is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment that can be used to restore volume loss in the face, hands, and body. It offers long-lasting, natural-looking results with minimal downtime. If you are looking for a way to improve your appearance without surgery, Renuva may be a good option for you.
