The AlloClae filler is derived from carefully processed donor fat, as opposed to an autologous fat transfer, which uses the patient’s own fat cells. During processing, donor DNA and cellular components are removed, leaving behind a purified adipose matrix rich in growth factors, intact adipocytes, and extracellular matrix proteins. This honeycomb-structured matrix acts as a supportive framework once injected, integrating with the surrounding tissue and stimulating collagen production over time. The result is soft, natural-feeling volume that blends seamlessly with your body’s contours.
Patients choose AlloClae for many aesthetic reasons, including facial volume restoration, body enhancement, or breast reconstructive surgery to repair rippling or visible implants following an initial breast augmentation. AlloClae can restore volume in areas affected by aging or weight changes, enhance curves in the hips and buttocks, improve breast shape and symmetry, and also smooth contour irregularities or scarring that may remain after prior cosmetic procedures.
Many patients appreciate that AlloClae offers a natural alternative to synthetic fillers while avoiding the recovery time associated with surgical fat grafting. Unlike traditional fat transfer procedures, AlloClae does not require liposuction to harvest fat from your own body.
Before receiving AlloClae treatment, patients will schedule a consultation with Dr. Jennifer Janiga and our team to discuss the procedure in more detail. Ideal candidates for AlloClae are healthy individuals who are at a stable body weight and want to enhance volume without surgery. It is an excellent option for patients who do not have enough excess fat for traditional fat transfer or who prefer not to undergo liposuction. Your medical history, anatomy, and aesthetic goals will be carefully considered to ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure. Patients should also have realistic expectations for the procedure and be committed to following all pre- and post-treatment instructions to ensure safety and the best possible results.
In the days leading up to your AlloClae procedure, you may be advised to avoid certain medications or supplements that can increase bruising. On the day of treatment, the target area should be clean and free of lotions or makeup to streamline the treatment process. Patients with an active infection or acne may have to wait to receive treatment.
AlloClae is performed in-office under local anesthesia or a topical numbing cream. Once the skin has been cleansed and prepared for treatment, the adipose matrix is precisely injected into the treatment area using fine needles or a cannula. The length of the procedure depends on the number of areas treated, but most sessions are completed within an hour. Because no fat harvesting is involved, the process is simpler and less invasive than traditional fat grafting.
After treatment, mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is common. These effects typically resolve within a few days. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can resume normal daily activities within one to two days. However, we may recommend that patients avoid strenuous activities for a few days so that the transferred fat can settle into the soft tissue. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results and ensure a smooth recovery.
Patients will notice an immediate volume and contour improvement following treatment. As swelling subsides and collagen production increases, results continue to refine over the following weeks. Natural integration between the transferred fat and surrounding soft tissue, and structural support provided by new collagen production, will result in long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Highly recommend the nurse practitioner Charlotte for all your skin care needs! I had never had Botox before so I was a little nervous about it. She made me feel comfortable and did an excellent job! I went back for a touch up after the first time I got it and she was able to fix exactly what was bothering me! Excited to keep seeing her 🙂
Dr. Jen is the best! I have been going to her office for 6 years now and can’t see myself going to anyone else.
Dr. Jennifer is an excellent physician. I could not have been more happy with my time with her. I’ve seen Dr. Jennifer twice — and in both occurrences she truly listened to my concerns. The treatment she provided was excellent and effective. As long as she is practicing in Reno, I will be her patient!
