At JanigaMDs, we are proud to offer Renuva Fat Stimulation, an advanced treatment that restores youthful volume and smooths skin irregularities without the need for fillers or surgery. Unlike traditional fillers or fat grafting, Renuva works by stimulating the body to produce its own living fat cells, creating natural and lasting improvements. This innovative approach is ideal for patients experiencing age-related volume loss in the face, as well as those seeking to correct issues such as cellulite dimples, depressed scars, or liposuction irregularities.
What is Renuva Fat Stimulation?
Renuva restores fullness in areas of the body that have experienced age-related volume loss or irregularities from previous procedures. It is an adipose matrix, a tissue-based injection that mimics how fat naturally exists in the human body. When injected, Renuva works by creating a framework that allows your body’s own fat cells, stem cells, and blood vessels to populate the area, producing a natural-looking restoration of lost volume. This makes it a highly versatile treatment for those who want age-defying results without fillers or needing to harvest their own fat through liposuction.
Reasons For Renuva Fat Stimulation
For those experiencing age-related fat loss or volume loss in the face, neck, or body, Renuva offers a way to restore natural fullness without the need for surgery. It is also a popular option for patients who want to smooth cellulite dimples, improve the appearance of depressed scars, or correct liposuction irregularities.
Renuva does not require harvesting your own fat or donor tissue, making it an excellent choice for individuals who don’t have enough fat available or those that cannot undergo the fat harvesting procedure. Patients also turn to Renuva when they want results that look and feel natural, since the treatment encourages the body’s own fat cells to grow, supported by new blood vessels, growth factors, and collagen.
Renuva lasts longer than fillers, thus making it an excellent choice for volume restoration without using fillers. Renuva stimulates your own fat cells. Fat cells have a lifespan of 8-10 years, so if you maintain your weight and body fat percentage, the injected stimulated fat should last for many years.

Before Your Renuva Fat Stimulation Procedure
Prior to your Renuva treatment, you’ll meet with Dr. Jennifer Janiga or one of her associates at JanigaMDs. During this consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine whether Renuva is right for you. Before your appointment, you will be required to discontinue all supplements, vitamins, and blood thinning medications unless prescribed by your doctor to reduce your chance of bruising. If your blood thinning medication is prescribed, be sure to inform your provider so a specific plan for your needs can be arranged.
Renuva Fat Stimulation
Renuva is an adipose matrix, intended to fill in areas of volume loss and build natural frameworks in the body.
At JanigaMDs, Dr. Jennifer Janiga specializes in dermatology and uses her decades of experience to provide a unique, comprehensive perspective for her patients’ cosmetic needs in the Reno, Nevada area.
Your Renuva Fat Stimulation Procedure
When preparing for your appointment, be sure to eat a meal and arrive with a clean face and no makeup. The procedure is performed in-office and involves a series of small, precise injections into the targeted areas. Because Renuva is an injectable, it does not require surgery or general anesthesia. The adipose matrix provides a natural scaffold, which your living cells and growth factors will gradually repopulate. This process creates lasting results that mimic the outcomes of fat transfer or fat grafting, but without the need to lose fat through liposuction first.
After Your Renuva Fat Stimulation Procedure
Meet Your Specialists
Following treatment, you will be given a cool pack to use on your way home. Be sure to continue to apply the ice pack in 10-minute increments with 20 minutes of rest in between to assist with swelling. It is advised to sleep with your head elevated for the first two nights to help decrease swelling as well. Side effects can include swelling, redness, bruising, and discomfort, but usually are resolved within a few days. If you have a large bruise, inform your provider quickly as there may be laser options that can help reduce the appearance faster. Note: please contact your provider if the discomfort becomes intense as this is not an expected side effect.
Despite some mild side effects, patients can generally return to their daily activities with minimal downtime. You will be able to resume using your usual skincare products 24 hours after treatment, including retinols, bleaching creams, and makeup, but be sure to make all sponges and application brushes have been thoroughly cleaned or are new.
What to Expect with Renuva Results
As your body’s own fat integrates with the Renuva matrix, you’ll notice improved contour, more volume, and smoother skin in the treated area. Because the treatment stimulates your body to replace the matrix with its own fat cells, results appear gradually over the following weeks and months. Results will develop naturally as your body builds new blood vessels and increases fat production. Patients often find that Renuva provides a softer, more organic look compared to hyaluronic acid filler or other synthetic filler treatments. The results are durable, with many enjoying long-term improvements in depleted areas such as the breast, buttocks, neck, or face.
