Renuva at Sculpt MD: Regenerative Aesthetics Redefined
What is Renuva?
Renuva is a revolutionary injectable treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative abilities to restore lost volume and smooth contours. Instead of traditional fillers, Renuva is an off-the-shelf allograft adipose matrix—essentially, a fat-like scaffold that encourages your body to grow its own fat cells in the treated area. The result? Natural, long-lasting volume without the need for fat harvesting or surgery.
Welcome to the next generation of Regenerative Aesthetics!

Why Would Someone Choose Renuva?
If you’ve lost facial volume due to aging or weight loss, or you’re looking to enhance contour in a natural-looking way, Renuva is a unique and innovative solution. People choose Renuva because it:
- Restores volume with your body’s own fat
- Creates a natural feel and appearance
- Offers a non-surgical alternative to fat transfer
- Supports your body’s regenerative process
With aging, weight changes, or previous surgeries, the face and body can lose volume, develop dents, or appear hollow. Traditional solutions include synthetic fillers or fat grafting surgery—but both have limitations.
Renuva offers a minimally invasive, no-downtime option to regenerate soft tissue, including:
- Subtle facial volume restoration
- Filling mild contour irregularities from lipo or injury
- Smoothing cellulite dents
- Improving skin support in areas that have thinned
Because Renuva gradually builds real fat, the results are softer, more natural, and long- lasting.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a great fit for Renuva if you:
- Want to restore volume without fillers or surgery
- Prefer natural, long-lasting results
- Have small areas of volume loss or contour irregularities
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
It’s NOT recommended for large-volume restoration or weight-related concerns.
How Is Renuva Different from HA Fillers or Biostimulants?
Renuva is in a class of its own.
- HA Fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) work by directly filling space with a gel substance. They provide immediate volume but are temporary and eventually dissolve.
- Biostimulants (like Sculptra or Radiesse) stimulate collagen production over time but don’t create fat or restore the natural fat layer.
- Renuva uses a matrix derived from donated human fat tissue to trigger your own bodyto generate new fat cells in the treated area—blending seamlessly with existing tissue.
Think of Renuva as a “fat transfer without surgery.” It’s bioidentical, natural, and regenerative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see optimal results with 1 to 2 treatments, depending on the area and desired volume.
If a second treatment is needed, we typically space it 12 weeks (3 months)after the first session to allow your body to regenerate tissue and fat cells.
Renuva is versatile and ideal for:
- Facial volume loss (cheeks, temples, jawline)
- Hands
- Small body contour corrections
- Cellulite dimples or irregularities from liposuction or scarring
- Glutes (BBL without surgery!)
- Breast correction
Note: Renuva is not used for lips or under the eyes.
You may notice early improvements within weeks, but the full regeneration process takes time. Most patients see full results develop over 3 to 6 months, as the body gradually creates new fat cells.
Because Renuva helps you regrow your own fat, the results can be long-lasting or even permanent, especially with a healthy lifestyle.
No. Unlike HA fillers which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, Renuva becomes your own fat tissue over time, so results are not reversible. That’s why provider experience and precise placement matter.
Renuva results can last several years because the fat your body creates is permanent. HA fillers typically last 6–18 months, and fat grafting carries more variability due to reabsorption. Renuva offers a non-surgical middle ground with more predictable outcomes.
You’ll see some immediate fullness, but final results appear gradually over 8–12 weeks as the body converts the matrix into fat. Unlike fillers, Renuva’s improvement is progressive and long-lasting.
Yes, Renuva can be safely combined with other regenerative treatments like PRP, microneedling, or RF, depending on the area and your goals. These combinations can enhance skin texture and structure alongside volume restoration.
