Hello,

Injectable treatments can be complex, especially when considering combining different products in the same area. Here are some insights regarding your questions about Renuva and Bellafill:

Combining Renuva and Bellafill:
Renuva is an adipose matrix product that stimulates your body to produce new fat cells, while Bellafill is a collagen-based filler with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres that provides structural support.

Injecting Renuva in the same area as Bellafill is something that should be carefully evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. They need to consider the interactions between the products and their combined effects on tissue.

Longevity of Bellafill:
Bellafill is known for its long-lasting results, often up to five years or more. The PMMA microspheres remain in place, providing a scaffold for collagen production, which contributes to its durability.

Consultation with a Specialist:
It’s essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with both products. They can assess your specific situation, the current state of the treated area, and advise on the safety and effectiveness of using Renuva in conjunction with Bellafill.

Considerations and Risks:
Discuss potential risks, such as inflammation or adverse reactions, when combining different injectable products. A thorough evaluation will help ensure the best aesthetic outcome and minimize complications.

I recommend scheduling a consultation with your healthcare provider to discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Warm regards,
