Renuva Injections
in Phoenix

Renuva® is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that gradually replaces age-related volume loss with your body’s own natural fat. It acts as an extracellular matrix containing the same collagens, proteins, and regenerative growth factors found naturally in fat tissue.

When injected into target areas, Renuva creates a supportive, honeycomb-like matrix. Over 3 to 6 months, your body fills this matrix with its own fat cells, and the Renuva product safely dissolves—leaving behind your own living tissue for natural-looking volume.

Renuva is used in areas where native fat naturally exists, primarily within subcutaneous and deep fat layers.

• Face: Cheeks, temples, smile lines, and deep facial hollows.
• Body: Hands, post-liposuction contour irregularities, cellulite dimples, and other minor volume deficits.

Note: Renuva is designed for fat planes and is not suitable for areas without native subcutaneous fat, such as the lips.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Renuva doesn't just temporarily fill space—it encourages your body to rebuild its own fat pad.

• vs. HA Fillers: Hyaluronic acid fillers draw in water molecules, which can occasionally lead to a overfilled or "puffy" appearance (sometimes called Filler Fatigue). Renuva replaces fat with fat, restoring natural contours without water retention.
• vs. Sculptra®: Biostimulators like Sculptra prompt your body to generate collagen, often in the form of firm fibrous tissue. Renuva specifically stimulates native fat cell growth to replace deep volume loss naturally.

Traditional fat transfer requires a two-step surgical procedure: a mini-liposuction session to harvest fat from another part of your body, followed by re-injection. Renuva offers an "off-the-shelf" alternative that yields similar long-term results without surgery, donor-site recovery, or downtime.

Because Renuva is gradually replaced by your body's own fat cells, the results are long-lasting. The newly restored tissue behaves just like your natural fat, which has an average lifespan of up to 10 years.

Yes. Renuva has undergone extensive safety testing and is regulated by the FDA as a Human Cell, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P).

It is produced by MTF Biologics—a premier non-profit tissue bank with over 35 years of experience in regenerative medicine. The donor tissue is subjected to stringent screening and processing to ensure maximum safety while preserving essential natural collagens and growth factors.

Renuva treatments are performed right in our office by trained medical injectors.

Because Renuva is placed into deeper fat layers rather than superficial skin levels, bruising is significantly reduced compared to standard skin fillers. You may experience mild temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site for a few days. Most patients return to their normal daily routine immediately.

The number of treatments depends on the severity of volume loss and your specific cosmetic goals.

After your initial injection, you may notice a temporary reduction in initial volume after about two weeks as the carrier matrix begins to break down. Your body then rebuilds its own fat over the following 3 to 6 months. If additional volume is desired, serial treatments can be safely performed after 3 months.

Renuva is an excellent option for men and women experiencing volume loss due to aging, weight loss, or previous surgical procedures. It can be used proactively in your mid-to-late 30s to maintain youthful fat volume, or later in life to rebuild lost structures. It is also safe to use alongside other treatments such as neurotoxins (Botox®) or facelifts.

Candidates with a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis should discuss their medical background during consultation prior to treatment.
