Renuva Injectable Treatment in San Diego
Renuva is an injectable treatment that restores volume to areas affected by aging, weight loss, or trauma. Dr. Saami Khalifian, double board-certified in dermatology and plastic surgery, offers this non-surgical solution at SOM Aesthetics in Encinitas for long-lasting, natural results.
Renuva Results Timeline
Immediately After Treatment
Initial volume visible from the Renuva product and injection fluid. This temporary fullness decreases as fluid absorbs over the first week.
Weeks 1-4
Swelling subsides and the treated area may appear similar to pre-treatment as regeneration begins at the cellular level. This is completely normal and expected.
Weeks 4-8
Progressive tightening becomes more apparent. Skin appears firmer with improved texture. Jawline definition may enhance with increased neck tautness.
Months 2-4
Significant improvement visible as collagen production continues. Skin feels noticeably firmer and more resilient with progressively reduced laxity.
Long-Term (6+ Months)
Results remain stable and can last 5-10 years or longer. The regenerated fat tissue behaves like natural fat, maintaining volume with stable weight and providing permanent correction.
Ideal Candidates for Renuva
Renuva is excellent for adults seeking non-surgical volume restoration in areas like the face, hands, décolletage, hip dips, buttocks, or areas with liposuction irregularities and depressed scars. The treatment is particularly beneficial for thin patients lacking sufficient fat for traditional fat transfer, those unable or unwilling to undergo surgery, and individuals desiring natural, gradual enhancement with long-lasting results.
Best candidates are generally healthy with no active infections in the treatment area, non-smokers or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations about the gradual regeneration timeline of 3-6 months. Optimal outcomes occur when patients maintain stable weight, complete the recommended treatment series, and follow all post-treatment care instructions.
During your consultation, Dr. Khalifian evaluates your anatomy and goals to determine if Renuva will deliver the natural volume restoration you desire.
How Renuva Works
Renuva uses biological technology to trigger your body's natural fat regeneration. The allograft adipose matrix acts as a three-dimensional scaffold where volume is needed. Your body recognizes this matrix as compatible tissue, allowing seamless integration.

- No donor site needed, ideal for thin patients
- Natural, living tissue created by your own body

The treatment is performed in our Encinitas office using local anesthesia, typically taking 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
