Renuva Injections at Hilinski Medspa: Revolutionary Fat Restoration for Volume Enhancement
At Hilinski Medspa, part of John Hilinski Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego, we are excited to offer Renuva, a cutting-edge, long-lasting injectable filler by MTF Biologics designed to restore lost volume by promoting your body’s natural fat production. Whether you’re looking to address facial volume loss, body contour irregularities, or even scarring from liposuction, Renuva offers a non-surgical solution that mimics the effects of natural fat transfer, providing smooth and lasting results.
Dr. Hilinski, Nicole, and team are absolutely amazing! Dr. Hilinski is very knowledgeable, takes the time to thoroughly explain procedures, and has gone above and beyond with patient care during my procedure and throughout all of my follow-ups.
What Is Renuva?
Renuva is an innovative cosmetic filler that stimulates the production of new fat cells in the area of injection, helping correct volume deficiencies and enhance your natural contours. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Renuva works by encouraging your body to replace fat loss with its own natural fat and collagen, resulting in long-term volume restoration.
How Does Renuva Work?
When Renuva is injected into the soft tissue, it acts as an adipose matrix, or scaffold, which supports and promotes the repopulation of fat cells. The injected matrix consists of proteins, growth factors (such as FGF-2 and VEGF), and collagen subtypes that mirror your body’s natural adipose tissue. Over the course of 6-12 weeks, your body replaces the Renuva matrix with new fat cells, resulting in increased volume and improved skin texture. The entire process enhances blood flow and encourages natural remodeling, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Renuva is often described as an “off-the-shelf” fat transfer since it achieves the same effect as traditional fat transfer but without the need for surgery.
Common Renuva Treatment Areas
Renuva is an excellent option for both facial and body rejuvenation, restoring volume and improving contours in areas such as:
- Cheeks
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Jawline and jowls
- Chin
- Neck
- Hands
In addition to facial rejuvenation, Renuva can be used on the body to correct depressions or irregularities caused by liposuction, scarring, or aging. It’s commonly injected into areas like the breasts, abdomen, hips, and thighs to smooth out divots and restore a more uniform contour.
What to Expect During Renuva Treatment
Your Renuva treatment will take place in our medspa and is completed in just 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Similar to other injectable procedures, Renuva requires no downtime, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following the session.
After the injection, the Renuva matrix gradually dissolves over the next few months, and your body naturally replaces it with fat cells. These newly generated fat cells can last up to 5-10 years, providing long-term volume enhancement.
