When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the options can seem endless. Two popular choices to restore lost facial volume and combat signs of aging are Renuva and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, both offering unique benefits. Here, our team of experienced skincare experts at Sarasota Facial Aesthetics explains the ins and outs of Renuva and HA fillers to help you decide which could be the best choice for your specific goals.
What Is Renuva?
Renuva is a groundbreaking injectable treatment that uses what’s called adipose matrix technology to restore volume loss in the face and body. Unlike traditional fillers, Renuva stimulates your body to produce its own fat, leading to natural-looking, long-lasting results without the use of synthetic materials. The treatment involves injecting Renuva into areas where volume has been lost, stimulating your body to regenerate fat cells and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin in those areas.
Benefits of Renuva
Some of the key benefits of Renuva include:
- Using your body’s own fat cells to restore volume.
- Results that can last for several years.
- Can be used in both the face and body to restore volume.
- Low risk of allergic reaction because Renuva uses your body’s own fat cells.
Who Is Renuva Best For?
Renuva is ideal for individuals who want to achieve natural results without the use of synthetic materials, or who prefer a longer-lasting result than most traditional HA fillers can offer. Renuva is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced significant volume loss in the face or body due to aging, weight loss or other factors.
Some of the most popular areas to get Renuva injections are the face, neck and chest, hands, breasts, hips and thighs.
What Are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the most popular injectable anti-aging treatments. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and helps to maintain skin plumpness. HA fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. The results can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the specific product used and the area treated.
Benefits of HA Fillers
Some of the key benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers include:
- Nearly immediate results.
- Reversible results, as HA can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
- Safe, biocompatible ingredients that mimic the natural HA found in your body.
- A boost of hydration, as HA naturally draws and retains moisture.
Who Are HA Fillers Best For?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be a great choice for anyone looking for a nearly immediate boost of facial volume and/or results that can be easily adjusted or reversed if needed. HA fillers are versatile and can treat a number of areas, including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips and under-eye hollows. They can also be an excellent choice for anyone looking to try injectable treatments for the first time.
Renuva vs. HA Fillers: Which Is Right for You?
If you are looking for a more permanent solution to significant volume loss and prefer a more natural approach, Renuva might be the right choice for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for faster results and want the flexibility to adjust your treatment over time, HA fillers could be more suitable.
