Is Renuva Fat Restoration Painful?

Patients usually describe the treatment as very tolerable because a local anesthetic is used to enhance comfort, and the product itself is often combined with lidocaine. You may feel mild pressure or brief stinging during injection, particularly in more delicate areas, but post-treatment soreness is minimal and resolves within a few days.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Some patients can achieve their desired outcome with a single session, while others may benefit from a second treatment, depending on the volume restoration needed. Because Renuva works by stimulating fat regeneration, your provider may recommend spacing sessions several months apart to assess how much natural fat has developed before adding additional product. Maintenance is rarely needed as frequently as traditional fillers, given the long-lasting nature of regenerated fat tissue.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Renuva works gradually. You may notice mild initial fullness from the injection, but true results develop over several weeks to months as your body generates new fat cells. Most patients begin to notice meaningful improvement around 8–12 weeks, with continued improvement over several months. Once new fat cells are established, results can last five years or longer. The transformation appears subtle and organic; volume looks and feels like your own tissue because it is.

Can I Combine a Renuva Fat Restoration with Other Procedures?

Yes. Renuva may be paired with neuromodulators for wrinkle reduction, traditional dermal fillers for precise contour refinement, laser resurfacing or microneedling, or more. For body applications, Renuva can complement non-surgical contouring procedures. Your provider will determine safe timing and layering of treatments to aid results while preserving tissue integrity.

What Are the Risks Associated with a Renuva Fat Restoration?

We use a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort that you may experience when the needle is inserted. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, and or bruising may be experienced in the treatment area. Any bruising that occurs can easily be hidden with makeup and typically resolves within a few days.

What Are The Common Areas that we treat with Renuva?

Renuva is injected into areas where fat naturally exists to replace volume lost to fat loss. It is commonly used to restore volume in the face, hands, and other areas of the body. The treatment is also helpful for erasing cellulite dimples, smoothing liposuction irregularities, and flattening depressed scars. Here are some of the most common areas to be treated with Renuva: Face Hands Breast correction Depressed scars Buttock Irregular contours due to liposuction Neck & Decollete

Restore Lost Volume

Introduction to Renuva Fat Restoration

Volume loss doesn’t just happen in the face; it can affect the hands, hips, buttocks, and even areas around scars or cellulite dimples. As natural fat diminishes with age or weight fluctuation, the result can be hollowness, contour irregularities, and skin that appears thinner or less supported. For patients in Bend and throughout Central Oregon who want true tissue restoration (not just a temporary filling), Renuva offers the solution.

Renuva is not a traditional filler. Instead, it’s a regenerative injectable that acts as a scaffold that encourages your body to produce its own fat cells in the treated area. Over time, your body replaces the injected material with living fat tissue, creating soft, natural, long-lasting volume that integrates seamlessly with surrounding structures. At W Aesthetics & Wellness, Renuva is used strategically to restore youthful contours with subtle, biologically driven results.

2. Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 4 hours following treatment.

3. Avoid strenuous physical activity/workouts for 24 hours following your treatment. Avoid facial massages, facials, laser, or light-based therapy for 2 weeks.

5. Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, or high doses of Omega 3, Vitamin E, or Tumeric. These agents may increase bruising and or bleeding at the injection site.
