Renuva Injections: Long-Lasting Volume Without Surgery
What Is Renuva?
Renuva is the first and only off-the-shelf injectable that replaces age-related fat loss with your body’s own natural fat. It can be used to restore volume in the face, hands, neck, décolletage, and body — anywhere that native fat naturally exists. Results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months and can last up to 10 years.
Renuva is made from an allograft adipose matrix — purified donor fat tissue that has been processed to remove all live cells and DNA. What remains is a framework of collagen, proteins, and growth factors that your body recognizes as its own. Once injected, this matrix creates a honeycomb-like scaffold that your body gradually fills with new, living fat cells. Over the following months, the scaffold is naturally absorbed and replaced entirely by your own fat — delivering volume that looks and feels natural without the puffiness or “filler fatigue” associated with repeated hyaluronic acid treatments.
Traditional fat transfer requires liposuction to harvest fat from another area of your body, along with general anesthesia and significant recovery time. Renuva delivers similar long-lasting results through a simple in-office injection — no surgery, no liposuction, and no downtime. It is produced by MTF Biologics, a nonprofit tissue bank with over 35 years of experience, and all donor tissue is rigorously screened and sterilized in accordance with FDA guidelines.
RENUVA FAQS
Renuva replaces lost volume with your body’s own natural fat rather than synthetic filler material. There’s no risk of filler fatigue — the puffy, overdone look that can develop with repeated hyaluronic acid injections. The treatment takes about 20 to 30 minutes, requires no surgery or general anesthesia, and has minimal downtime. Results can last up to 10 years since the volume is made up of your own living fat cells.
Traditional dermal fillers like Juvederm use hyaluronic acid to add temporary volume that dissolves within 6 to 18 months. Sculptra stimulates collagen production for results lasting about 2 years. Renuva takes a different approach entirely — it creates a scaffold that your body fills with its own real fat cells, producing results that can last up to 10 years. It’s also the only option that doesn’t require surgery or liposuction like a traditional fat transfer.
Renuva is a quick in-office procedure. A local anesthetic is applied for comfort, and the injection itself takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You can return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as your body builds new fat cells in the treated area, with full results usually visible around the 3-month mark.
While this cost is higher than many other dermal fillers the results last longer, reducing the need for repeat visits and leading to lower costs over time.
