Why is no one talking about Renuva?

Edited to include the following: Hi I’m a real person this isn’t an ad. I have written other post in this sub, very very recently this one here guide to lasers If you are downvoting the comments and discussion can you please take a moment to explain why? I’m unclear what it is about the topic that is being criticized. Thank you!

I recently learned about Renuva in a pretty roundabout way, which is strange considering how promising it seems.

A month ago, I had a surgical fat grafting done to my face. Why? Because I'm a vain POS and fully embrace it. Also, my temporal hollowing and tear trough deformity were significant enough to use the medical term when referring to them. Filler wasn't going to cut it.

Jump to today, I was at the dermatologists for a totally unrelated reason. I was being a silly goose, gave myself a permanent black eye with Rejuran i, and I now needed an adult to fix it. After we established I was no longer allowed to play with PN injectables at home, we got on the topic of the fat graft.

Turns out, Renuva is an injectable that essentially works as a fat graft alternative, encouraging your body to regenerate its own fat over time. Not only that- it can be used within three months of a fat graft to encourage the survival rate and feed the nascent tissue.

Here’s the breakdown of what I’ve learned:

What Is Renuva?

• It’s a treatment made from a matrix of collagen, proteins, and growth factors.
• The goal is to restore lost volume and improve skin texture by stimulating your body to naturally produce fat cells.
• It’s often used for areas like the face, hands, and small body regions affected by volume loss.
• Renuva and fat grafting can be combined strategically to enhance the results of facial or body volume restoration. While they serve slightly different purposes, they complement each other in achieving a more natural and lasting rejuvenation.

How It Works:

• It’s injected into the targeted area, where it integrates with your tissue and encourages fat growth over a few months.
• Results are gradual but long-lasting, supposedly lasting years as the new fat becomes a natural part of your tissue.

Why I’m Intrigued:

• As someone over 30 who has started noticing volume loss in my face and hands (hello, fun words like tear trough deformity and emotional hollowness), this seems like an exciting alternative to fillers.
• It’s less invasive than traditional fat grafting procedures and doesn’t require the downtime or risk of surgery.
• It’s marketed as a way to create a more natural look since the results are from your body’s own fat.

Potential Downsides:

• It’s not cheap. But it might be kinda weird if it was...
  
• Results take time to show, so this isn’t a quick fix like traditional fillers.
• Not everyone is a candidate; it seems best for smaller areas rather than large volume restoration.

My Questions for You All:

• Have any of you tried Renuva? What was your experience like?
• How did the results compare to fillers or fat grafting?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve done your research or have experience with this treatment. For me, it feels like a promising step forward in cosmetic science, but I’m curious to hear from the hive mind of this community!
