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.
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.

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.
Results will gradually improve as your body processes the treated areas naturally, stimulating collagen production. Many patients see visible changes after a few sessions, with optimal results appearing after completing the recommended treatment plan.
To maintain the results of your cellulite treatment, following a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and proper hydration is helpful. If additional treatments are needed over time, your provider will work with you to design a maintenance plan tailored to your goals.
