Renuva (Regenerative Fat Replacement)
Restore. Regenerate. Rebuild naturally.
Renuva is an advanced injectable treatment designed to restore volume by stimulating your body’s own natural fat production.
At The Maercks Institute, Renuva is not treated as a traditional filler. It is a regenerative approach to volume restoration rebuilding lost structure using your body’s own biological processes, rather than adding synthetic material.
Renuva is an injectable adipose matrix derived from purified fat tissue, containing collagen, proteins, and growth factors naturally found in the body.
When injected into areas of volume loss, this matrix acts as a scaffold, encouraging the body to generate new fat cells in that area.
Over time, the matrix is gradually replaced by your own living fat tissue, creating a natural and long-lasting result.
A More Considered Approach to Volume Restoration
Facial ageing is largely driven by the loss of fat beneath the skin, which affects contour, softness, and overall balance.
Traditional fillers replace volume temporarily. Fat grafting restores volume using your own tissue, but requires a surgical procedure.
Renuva offers a different approach. It works with the body to regenerate fat in a controlled, gradual way restoring structure without surgery and without relying on temporary materials.
This is not immediate correction, but long-term restoration.
How Renuva Works
Renuva is injected into areas where fat naturally exists, such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, or hands.
Once placed, it forms a supportive matrix within the tissue. This structure encourages blood vessel formation and signals the body to generate new fat cells in the treated area.
Over the course of several months, the body replaces the matrix with its own fat, resulting in volume that is biologically integrated and natural in both appearance and feel.
What to Expect
Treatment is minimally invasive and performed in a clinical setting, typically within a short appointment.
There may be mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising following treatment, but downtime is minimal. Most patients return to their normal routine shortly after.
Because the process relies on natural regeneration, the experience is gradual rather than immediate.
When You’ll See Results
Some initial volume may be visible shortly after treatment, but the true result develops over time.
As the body produces new fat, improvements become more noticeable over the following months, with full results typically developing within three to six months.
The outcome is subtle, progressive, and long-lasting often extending significantly beyond traditional fillers.
Who This Treatment Is For
Renuva is suited to individuals experiencing volume loss who are looking for a natural, long-term solution without surgery.
It is particularly beneficial for those who want to avoid repeated filler treatments, or for those seeking a more regenerative approach to facial or body contour refinement.
Because it works only in areas where fat naturally exists, careful assessment is essential to determine suitability.
