Collagen is an essential protein in the body that acts as scaffolding under the skin, helping it to appear firm and youthful. As the human body ages, the rate of collagen production naturally begins to slow down, leading to volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. This process can begin as early as your mid-to-late twenties. Thankfully, plastic surgeons have a range of aesthetic treatments that can counter age-related fat loss in the face. Among them is Renuva®, an injectable, fat-building treatment to restore volume to the face, body, and hands.
Read on to learn more about how Renuva® Fat Transfer works, its many benefits, and why it may be right for you.
What Is Renuva®?
While facial volume can also be restored with liposuction and facial fat grafting, Renuva® is an excellent alternative to both of these treatments because it restores volume and stimulates the body’s natural fat growth mechanisms.
How Does Renuva® Work?
Unlike other anti-aging treatments designed to replace lost volume through fillers or surgery, Renuva® gradually replaces lost fat with new fat, using growth factors and collagen that acts as a scaffold for your fat cells to populate, all while improving contour deficiencies.
It is frequently employed to replenish volume lost due to aging in various areas such as the face, hands, neck, décolletage, and other body regions requiring fat supplementation. Additionally, the procedure proves beneficial in eliminating cellulite dimples, correcting liposuction irregularities, and reducing the appearance of depressed scars.
This non-surgical, in-office treatment requires no anesthesia or downtime. And while you will see initial results immediately, you may notice continuous improvement over the next few months.
What Are the Benefits of Renuva®?
Renuva® has many benefits, including:
- Natural-looking results
- Long-lasting results (up to 10 years)
- Improved skin quality and texture
- Minimally invasive with no downtime
- Affordability
