The in-office Renuva procedure itself typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. The treatment is minimally invasive and usually performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly afterward.
While the appointment is brief, the results develop gradually over several weeks to months. This is because Renuva works by stimulating your body’s natural fat regeneration process rather than providing immediate volume.
Once the regeneration process is complete and your own fat cells have replaced the Renuva, the results are considered long-lasting. Because the volume comes from your own tissue, maintenance treatments may be less frequent compared to traditional fillers.
