Several Hollywood celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, and Anne Hathaway, are reportedly turning to a new cosmetic injectable called Renuva to maintain youthful appearances
A growing number of Hollywood stars are reportedly turning to a new injectable treatment made from donated human fat tissue as a cutting-edge alternative to traditional facial fillers. The injectable treatment is made from the tissues of a deceased human body, and fans have been wondering how celebrities appear to have turned back time when it comes to their image.
Renuva, a relatively new product on the aesthetic market, is reportedly being discreetly used by celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, and Anne Hathaway, according to sources in the cosmetic dermatology industry. It’s appeal lies in the fact it offers natural-looking volume restoration with longer-lasting results – and no surgery.
Unlike synthetic fillers that break down over months, Renuva is designed to stimulate the body’s own fat to regenerate in the injected area. It’s made from a processed allograft adipose matrix – sterilised and refined fat tissue from deceased donors. Once injected, it acts as a scaffold, encouraging the body to repopulate the area with new fat cells over time.
Hollywood star Lindsay, 38, stepped back into the spotlight earlier this year with a rare late-night TV appearance, joining Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. While the actress chatted openly with host Andy Cohen about her future projects – including a possible turn as Ann-Margret in a biopic – the conversation online quickly shifted to something else entirely – her face.
Lohan, long known for her iconic red hair and freckled complexion, looked noticeably different during the segment, prompting a flurry of speculation across social media. Viewers described her as “unrecognisable”, with many pointing out her seemingly poreless, porcelain-like skin and noticeably altered features.
“Is that really Lindsay Lohan?” one viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter. “She looks amazing but also… so different.” As clips from the appearance made the rounds, fans were sharply divided. Some praised her glow-up as a sign of maturity and self-assurance, while others questioned whether cosmetic enhancements were at play.
Still, others defended the transformation entirely: “Let her live”, one user wrote. “People evolve – and so do their skincare routines”. Although Lohan didn’t address the rumours directly, her confident and relaxed demeanor during the segment suggested she’s unfazed by public opinion.
However, it’s not just celebrities who are using the injectables. “It’s a game changer”, said Dr. Howard Sobel, a prominent New York dermatologist whose clinic offers the treatment. “There’s no surgery, no downtime, and the results improve gradually as the body generates new tissue”.
Dianne Stasi, a 67-year-old art director based in New York, told The New York Post that she opted for Renuva over her usual fillers due to its longevity. “My regular filler only lasted four to six months, but they say this could last years,” she said of the $3,000 procedure. “He did the upper cheeks and it wound up lifting the nasal labial folds and smoothing the area. The amazing part is that it keeps getting better.”
Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, another Manhattan-based aesthetic expert, told the publication that the product is especially appealing to patients seeking a more natural approach. “It’s an off-the-shelf injectable that doesn’t require liposuction or surgery. And it can be done gradually, in stages”.
Renuva is approved for use in several areas of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even for minor body contouring like non-surgical buttock enhancements.
Despite its origins – derived from cadaver tissue which is the tissues of a deceased human body – many patients, including celebrities, appear unfazed. “I see it as equivalent to a medical transplant”, said Stasi.
As demand rises for subtle, longer-term cosmetic solutions, experts expect the popularity of Renuva to grow – particularly among public figures seeking results without obvious signs of intervention.
