What Renuva is approved for
Replacement of damaged or inadequate adipose (fat) tissue where fat naturally exists: cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, backs of the hands, and small contour irregularities.
Treatment outside these areas is off-label, legal and common; it is discussed and consented to at your consultation.
When Dr. Toma reaches for Renuva
- Restores volume with your own fat rather than a gel: the matrix is a scaffold that fat cells and blood vessels grow into over about three months, then it is gone and your tissue remains.
- No liposuction, no harvest site and no general anaesthetic, unlike traditional fat transfer.
- Suits temples, cheeks and the backs of the hands where fat has thinned, and small irregularities that filler can make look over-filled.
