Everything You Need to Know About Renuva for Facial and Body Volume

Volume loss doesn’t just affect how we look—it shapes how we feel. Renuva is changing that conversation. As a regenerative treatment designed to restore youthful fullness in the face and body without surgery, Renuva stimulates your body’s natural ability to replace fat where it’s been lost. At NewEra Medical Aesthetics in Vienna, VA, Renuva is one of our most powerful tools for achieving natural, long-lasting results without the downtime of traditional fat grafting.

What Is Renuva and How Does It Work?

Renuva is an injectable adipose matrix—essentially a scaffold made from donated, purified fat tissue. Once injected, it signals your body to regenerate its own fat cells in that area, using your body’s stem cells and regenerative capabilities to gradually build natural volume over the course of a few months.

It’s not a dermal filler. It doesn’t rely on hyaluronic acid or synthetic materials. Instead, it’s a regenerative medicine-based approach that promotes your own tissue growth for results that look and feel like your own fat.

Why Patients Are Choosing Renuva

At NewEra, many of our clients are looking for something that lasts longer than traditional fillers, but isn’t as invasive as surgery. Renuva offers a middle ground—with no liposuction required.

Here’s why Renuva stands out:

  • Non-surgical and needle-based — no need for anesthesia or incisions.
  • Long-lasting volume — results can last years as your own fat grows into place.
  • Natural look and feel — the end result mimics your own fat tissue.
  • Minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities the same day.
  • Versatile use — great for both the face and body, including hands, temples, cheeks, hips, and more.

Ideal Areas for Renuva

Renuva can be used anywhere you’d consider fat grafting, but without the hassle of harvesting fat from another area. Common treatment areas include:

  • Cheeks and midface – restore youthful contours
  • Temples – reduce hollowing that creates a tired look
  • Jawline – soften definition or correct asymmetry
  • Hands – replenish volume and hide prominent veins or tendons
  • Hip dips or minor body indentations – smooth contour irregularities

What to Expect From a Renuva Treatment at NewEra

Treatments are performed in-office by Dr. Liliana Manrique, an internationally recognized leader in regenerative aesthetics. After a thorough consultation to evaluate your facial structure or body concern, a customized plan is created based on your goals.

The injection process takes about 30–60 minutes. While some patients see early improvement, the real magic happens gradually. Over the next 3 to 6 months, your body begins producing fat cells in the treated area, building natural volume that integrates seamlessly with your own tissue.

You may experience mild swelling or tenderness post-treatment, but side effects are typically minimal and resolve quickly.

How Is Renuva Different From Fillers or Fat Transfer?

Each of these treatments addresses volume loss, but the methods are quite different.

TreatmentMaterial UsedDurationInvasiveness
RenuvaAdipose matrix (your fat grows in)Long-term (years)Minimally invasive
Dermal FillersHA or CaHA-based gelsTemporary (6–18 months)Non-invasive
Fat TransferYour own harvested fatLong-term (years)Surgical

While fillers provide instant results, they require frequent maintenance. Fat transfer is more permanent but involves surgery. Renuva offers the best of both: regenerative, long-lasting outcomes—without going under the knife.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for Renuva?

Renuva is ideal for healthy adults who want natural volume restoration without surgery. It’s especially helpful for:

  • Those who’ve lost volume from aging, weight loss, or genetics
  • Patients who’ve had fillers before and want longer-lasting results
  • Anyone interested in improving contour irregularities or asymmetries
  • Individuals with low body fat who are not candidates for fat grafting

Dr. Manrique will evaluate your skin health, goals, and treatment history to determine if Renuva is the right fit for you.
