Renuva Mountain View
How Renuva Works
Renuva is a cutting-edge treatment made in the USA, designed to be injected into areas of the body where fat naturally exists. Its primary function is to replace lost volume, providing a natural and youthful appearance. Over time, Renuva is absorbed and replaced by your body’s own fat, ensuring results that not only look natural but also are long-lasting.
Areas of Application
- Face: Renuva effectively restores volume in areas such as cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds.
- Neck & Chest: Ideal for smoothing neck skin and rejuvenating the décolletage area.
- Hands: Reduces the appearance of veins, bones, and loose skin by replenishing lost fat.
- Body: Versatile in body applications, Renuva can volumize hip-dips, smooth cellulite dimples, and even out liposuction irregularities.
- Contouring: Perfect for addressing small contour deficiencies in areas like the buttocks and hip dips.
- Breast: Used to camouflage breast implant irregularities without invasive surgery.
The Renuva Advantage
- Natural Composition: Mimics the body’s natural fat.
- Minimal Downtime: Quick procedure with little to no downtime.
- Long-Lasting Results: Gradually replaced by the body’s own fat for enduring results.
- Non-Surgical: A non-invasive alternative to traditional fat grafting procedures.
Is Renuva the Same as Fat Transfer?
The long-term goal during both Renuva and fat grafting (or fat transfer) procedures is essentially the same: to increase volume and improve facial and bodily contours through the use of the body’s own fat tissue. However, how these treatments are performed and how they work is quite different.
What is Fat Grafting?
The main idea behind the fat transfer is to restore the more youthful appearance of certain treatment areas by harvesting a small amount of adipose (fat) tissue from elsewhere on the patient’s body. Typically, it is taken from the flanks or abdomen using liposuction.
Dr. Lowen will then purify the adipose tissue using the Puregraft and/or Lipocube techniques. After that, he can strategically inject the fat cells where needed to add the necessary amount of volume.
One of the significant advantages of fat grafting as opposed to dermal fillers, is that we are using the patient’s own body fat. When it gets a new blood supply in its recipient site, it is permanent, unlike fillers which are absorbed over a relatively short time.
How Renuva is Different
There could be various reasons Dr. Lowen decides that Renuva would be a better option for your aesthetic objectives. For example, some patients already have a very low body fat percentage and, therefore, do not have enough adipose tissue in their flanks or abdomen for transfer.
Renuva allows Dr. Lowen an alternative way of replacing fat loss with actual fat. Renuva is an injectable matrix derived from human, acellular fat that when injected in contact with a patient’s fat, will stimulate that fat to create new fat cells. The matrix, with its honeycomb-like structure, fills with fat over a period of months, achieving the desired volume increase. Over time, the Renuva dissolves, leaving only your own fat!
