Rebuild volume with your own tissue.
Renuva is an injectable allograft adipose (fat) matrix, a regenerative scaffold. Once injected, your body gradually replaces it with your own new fat and tissue, restoring volume to areas thinned by age or weight loss, without synthetic volumizer.
It is used for areas of true fat loss, such as cheeks, temples, hands, and body, where a natural, lasting result is the goal. Results build gradually over weeks to months. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider confirms candidacy and the amount.

How to prep for Renuva
Renuva replaces lost fat gradually, so pausing blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 48 hours helps reduce bruising at treatment sites. Arrive with clean skin and let us know your goals for the area being treated.
• Pause blood thinners ~48h before
• No alcohol 24h prior
• Clean skin on the treated area
• Share your goals for the area
• Allow time for gradual results
What happens during a Renuva treatment
A Renuva session takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider numbs the area, then injects the Renuva matrix where fat volume has been lost. Over time, your body replaces it with your own fat. You will feel pressure at each point.
• 30–45 minute session
• Numbing first
• Renuva matrix injected
• Replaced by your own fat over time
• Pressure at each point
Renuva aftercare
Expect swelling, firmness, and possible bruising for 1 to 2 weeks as the area settles. Avoid pressure and strenuous exercise for a few days. Volume develops gradually over weeks to months as your own fat forms, for a natural, lasting result.
• Swelling/firmness 1–2 weeks
• Avoid pressure a few days
• No strenuous exercise briefly
• Volume builds over weeks–months
• Natural, lasting result
Is Renuva safe, and what to do after?
✓ Do
• Apply ice gently if an area is tender
• Stay hydrated and rest the first day
• Let mild swelling settle over a few days
• Let volume build gradually over weeks
• Return for any planned follow-up
• Call us right away with any unusual symptoms
✗ Don't
• Do not rub or press injected areas for 24 hours
• No saunas, hot yoga, or intense exercise for 24 hours
• No alcohol for 24 hours
• Do not expect instant, same-day volume
• Do not book within 2 weeks of a big event
