Regenerative Volume Restoration at Plastic Surgical Associates

At Plastic Surgical Associates in Fort Collins, Renuva is part of our regenerative approach to subtle, natural rejuvenation. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Diane Duncan is internationally recognized for her expertise in fat transfer, biologic injectables, and tissue restoration. She and her skilled team use Renuva to refine contours, soften transitions, and correct small depressions in a way that looks and feels like your own tissue, not a foreign filler.

The Details Behind a Refined, Natural Transformation With Renuva

Renuva is an injectable adipose matrix designed to help your body rebuild its own fat where volume has been lost. Instead of filling an area with synthetic gel, Renuva provides a structural “scaffold” that encourages your own fat cells to repopulate the area over time. It is typically used in small, precise areas where contour irregularities, dents, or age-related volume loss are most noticeable. Over several months, the treated area gradually becomes softer and fuller as your body naturally incorporates the matrix. Renuva can address:

  • Small depressions or “dents” from liposuction or trauma
  • Mild facial volume loss, particularly around the cheeks or temples
  • Visible tendons or veins on the back of the hands
  • Contour irregularities from aging or prior procedures
  • Subtle asymmetries that benefit from fine-tuned correction

NEO resolving chronic back pain

“I had chronic back pain before I started EmSculpt Neo treatment. I could never bend over without having a lot of pain. Now, even three months after treatment, I can move freely without issue! I can lie on the floor or the couch, do workouts, and stand for long periods of time without any back issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this treatment.”

I immediately felt comfortable

Most of my life, I was happy with my C-cup breast size. But after having four children and turning 41, my breasts were small and sagging and barely an A-cup! I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Duncan because of her 20+ years of experience, and at my initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Duncan listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I consulted with two other plastic surgeons, who both recommended an implant size larger than that of Dr. Duncan. I would have been very unhappy with breasts larger than I have now!! I definitely made the right choice in selecting Dr. Duncan for my breast augmentation.

“From the beginning to the end, my experience with Dr. Duncan and staff was over-the-top exceptional. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I feel the work I had done was perfect and that Dr. Duncan achieved a very natural look for my body. I highly recommend PSA and will be visiting them again in the near future for other procedures.”

Everything went smoothly and healed up great

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Duncan about a month and a half ago. Everything went smoothly and healed up great! I had to get a septoplasty as well with a different doctor, and she was so great with accommodating for that. Little to no bruising anywhere, just a scar where my nose was opened, but with scar cream it is fading slowly. I love my new nose!”

Exceptional Care. Personalized Plans. Proven Results.

Regenerative Expertise, Not Just Filling Lines

Dr. Duncan is a leader in regenerative aesthetics, with extensive experience in fat transfer, biologics, and tissue-supporting therapies. Renuva fits seamlessly into her philosophy of restoring structure and quality, not simply “plumping” an area.

Precise, Artistic Volume Placement

Because Renuva becomes your own fat over time, placement and planning are critical. Dr. Duncan and her team use advanced anatomical mapping and a conservative, layered approach to create smooth, natural transitions instead of overfilled areas.

Thoughtful Treatment Planning

Renuva is rarely used in isolation. It is often part of a broader plan that may include skin tightening, lasers, or other injectables. At Plastic Surgical Associates, your treatment is tailored to your unique anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

Warm, Highly Skilled Team Support

Our nurses, medical assistants, and aesthetic providers are deeply experienced with regenerative injectables. Patients often remark on how comfortable, heard, and well-cared-for they feel from consultation through final follow-up.

The Transformative Benefits of Renuva

  • Uses your body’s own response to rebuild fat
  • Natural look and feel that integrates with existing tissue
  • Ideal for small dents, irregularities, and subtle refinements
  • Long-lasting results once fat regeneration is complete
  • Minimally invasive, in-office treatment
  • Can complement fat transfer or traditional fillers
  • Little to no downtime for most patients

Personalized Consultation and Candidacy Evaluation

You may be a good candidate for Renuva in the Denver & Fort Collins area at Plastic Surgical Associates if you have small areas of volume loss or contour irregularity that do not require a full fat transfer or extensive filler. During your consultation, Dr. Duncan will evaluate your skin quality, treatment history, and goals to determine whether Renuva, fat grafting, or another regenerative option is the best fit for your needs and overall plan.

Renuva Treatment Overview

Your visit begins with a detailed discussion of your concerns and careful marking of the areas to be treated. Photos and, when appropriate, prior treatment records help guide precise planning.

  1. The treatment area is cleansed, and a local anesthetic or numbing cream is applied.
  2. Renuva is injected through a fine cannula or needle into the targeted areas.
  3. Gentle molding or massage ensures even distribution and smooth contour.
  4. The process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas.
  5. You receive post-treatment instructions and can usually return to normal activities the same day.

Renuva Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling, tenderness, or occasional bruising for a few days after injection. These effects are usually minimal and resolve quickly. Early improvement may be visible within weeks, but the true benefit of Renuva develops gradually over several months as your body builds new fat in the treated areas.

Once stabilized, results are long-lasting, behaving much like your natural fat. Significant weight changes, aging, and lifestyle factors can influence longevity, just as they do in untreated areas.

Renuva Treatment Approaches

Facial Micro-Volume Refinement

Softens small hollows or asymmetries in the midface or temples.

Hand Rejuvenation

Adds subtle fullness to the backs of the hands to soften a bony or veiny appearance.

Scar and Contour Correction

Smooths minor dents or irregularities from liposuction, trauma, or prior surgery.

Exploring Additional Options for Complete Rejuvenation

  • Fat Transfer: Uses your own harvested fat for larger-volume restoration and facial or body reshaping.
  • Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid or biostimulatory fillers to restore volume or structure in selected areas.
  • Biolift™: A regenerative facial rejuvenation approach combining fat, matrix, and energy-based tightening.
  • Radiofrequency Microneedling: Improves skin texture and quality while supporting overall rejuvenation.

Renuva Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Renuva last?

Once your body has fully integrated Renuva and built new fat, the result tends to be long-lasting. Longevity varies by area, metabolism, and lifestyle, similar to natural fat.

Is Renuva safe for all skin types?

Renuva is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. During your consultation, Dr. Duncan will review your medical history and previous treatments to confirm it is appropriate and safe for you.

Will I see results right away?

You may notice some immediate improvement from the injected volume, but the most meaningful change develops gradually as your body regenerates fat over several months.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by an experienced provider.

Is there downtime after Renuva?

Most patients resume normal daily activities the same day, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours to minimize swelling or bruising.
