Renuva Injectable Treatment
Renuva Injectable Treatment at Valley Laser and Skin
As we age, the natural fat beneath our skin can diminish. Cheeks may look flatter, temples may appear hollow, and the hands can lose some of their fullness. Renuva is an injectable treatment designed to restore volume in areas where fat naturally exists.
Renuva is made from a carefully processed, donated human fat tissue matrix. Once injected, it provides a framework that your body gradually replaces with its own fat tissue. The result develops over time, making Renuva an option for people seeking a subtle, natural-looking change without surgical fat transfer.
At Valley Laser and Skin, your provider will assess your concerns and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on the area, the amount of volume loss, and your goals.
The Benefits of Renuva
Restores lost volume: Renuva can add fullness to areas affected by age-related fat loss.
Creates gradual-looking results: Changes develop as your body replaces the injected matrix with its own tissue.
Smooths selected contour irregularities: Renuva may help soften the appearance of certain depressions or uneven areas.
Requires no fat harvesting: Treatment does not involve liposuction to collect fat from another part of your body.
Offers a non-surgical approach: Renuva is placed through injections, with recovery that is generally shorter than surgical fat transfer.
The degree of improvement and how long it lasts vary from person to person.
Treatment Areas for Renuva
Renuva may be considered for areas where fat naturally exists and where a small amount of added volume could improve the contour. Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Smile lines
- Hands
- Selected depressed scars
- Small body contour irregularities
Not every area or concern is suitable for Renuva. During your consultation, your provider will determine whether it is appropriate for the result you want to achieve.
Who Are Good Candidates for Renuva?
Renuva may be a good option for adults who have noticed localized volume loss and want a gradual improvement without surgery. It may also appeal to people looking to smooth a small indentation or contour irregularity.
Good candidates understand that the initial fullness after an injection is not the final result. Changes take time, and more than one treatment may be needed to reach a desired outcome. Renuva is intended for targeted volume restoration; it is not a treatment for weight loss or a substitute for large-volume body augmentation.
Because Renuva is derived from donated human tissue, your provider will review your medical history, treatment goals, and the product with you before deciding whether it is suitable.
How Renuva Treatments Are Provided and Performed
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the area you would like to treat. Your provider will discuss the amount of correction that may be possible and develop an injection plan suited to your anatomy.
Renuva is then injected into the selected area. Your provider may use techniques to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection sites.
Over the following weeks and months, your body gradually replaces the Renuva matrix with its own fat tissue. Your provider will explain when to assess your results and whether another session may help you reach your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renuva
What is Renuva made from?
Renuva is a processed matrix derived from donated human fat tissue. Your provider can explain how the product is prepared and answer any questions you have before treatment.
How is Renuva different from a traditional dermal filler?
Renuva provides a framework that your body gradually replaces with its own fat tissue. Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers add volume through an injectable gel. The best choice depends on the area, your goals, and how quickly you want to see a result.
When will I see results from Renuva?
You may notice fullness immediately after treatment, but some of this can be due to the product and temporary swelling. The intended result develops gradually over the following months as the area changes.
Is there downtime after Renuva injections?
Many people return to routine activities soon after treatment, although swelling, tenderness, or bruising may be visible for a time. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your injector.
How many Renuva treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the area being treated and the amount of volume you want to restore. Your provider can recommend a plan after assessing you.
How long do Renuva results last?
Renuva is designed to produce lasting volume as the matrix is replaced by your own tissue. The amount of volume retained and the duration of your result can vary.
