NEW AT RADIANCE - Lipoderma®
Lipoderma® Fat Injections
Replace Lost Fat With Fat. Not Synthetic Gel.
Lipoderma® is a ready-to-use fat tissue graft that restores volume where your face, neck, and hands have lost it. No liposuction, no harvesting, and no filler. Now available at Radiance Medspa in Avon, CT.
Fat Restoration for the Face, Neck, and Hands
Hartford County | Avon CT
Fat is what makes a face look rested. It cushions the cheeks, softens the under-eye area, and keeps the skin on your hands and neck from looking thin. Aging, rapid weight loss, and GLP-1 medications all take that fat away, and when it goes, the result is hollowing, shadows, and a tired look that skincare cannot fix.
Lipoderma® puts that fat back. It is real fat tissue, processed so it can be placed without liposuction or a donor site, in a single in-office visit.
Radiance Medspa is one of the first practices in Connecticut to offer Lipoderma®. It joins Renuva and alloClae™ in our fat injection lineup, the most complete in the Greater Hartford area. Not sure which is right for you? See all three fat injection options.
How Lipoderma® Works
Lipoderma® is an adipose (fat) tissue allograft. The tissue is recovered from screened donors under established tissue-banking standards, then processed by the manufacturer, Britecyte, using a patented method that allows it to be placed in another person without the rejection response that historically limited fat grafting to your own tissue.
What makes it different from other fat-derived products is what stays intact. Lipoderma® preserves the fat cells and the natural supporting structure around them rather than reducing the tissue to a gel or scaffold. Your provider places it beneath the skin exactly where fat has been lost. You see volume right away, and over the following weeks and months the tissue integrates with your own, so the result settles into something that looks and feels like you, not like a filler.
- Real fat tissue, not a synthetic or cross-linked filler
- No liposuction, no donor site, no surgical recovery
- Ready to use in a single office visit
- Immediate volume that continues to refine as it integrates
- Developed without synthetic agents, cross-linkers, or foreign scaffolds
Why Patients Choose Lipoderma®
Lipoderma® offers the natural material of a fat transfer with the convenience of an injectable. Patients are drawn to it because it may help:
- Restore cheek and midface volume that has flattened with age or weight loss
- Soften under-eye hollows and the shadows they create
- Smooth the jawline and lower face where fat has thinned
- Cushion the hands so tendons and veins are less prominent
- Rebuild volume in the neck and décolleté where skin looks thin or crepey
- Achieve a rested look without the overfilled appearance some associate with fillers
What Areas Can Lipoderma® Treat?
- Face: midface and cheeks, under-eye hollows, temples, and the jawline. Lipoderma® replaces the fat pad support that gives the face its soft, rested contour.
- Neck: volume loss that leaves the neck looking thin, lined, or crepey. Lipoderma® adds cushion beneath the skin to soften lines and improve contour where fat has thinned.
- Hands: the backs of the hands, where fat loss makes tendons, veins, and knuckles stand out. Lipoderma® restores the padding that makes hands look younger.
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate whether you have a true fat deficit that Lipoderma® can address, or whether a filler, skin tightening, Renuva, or another treatment would serve you better.
Is Lipoderma® Right for You?
Lipoderma® is for people who have lost fat, not just volume, and want it replaced with the same material.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have hollowing in the cheeks, under eyes, temples, or jawline
- Have lost facial or hand volume after weight loss, including GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
- Have hands that look thin, veiny, or bony
- Want a filler alternative made from natural tissue rather than synthetic gel
- Have tried fillers and feel "filler fatigue," or no longer like how filler looks on you
- Are not a candidate for, or do not want, surgical fat transfer
- Understand that the final result develops over weeks to months as the tissue settles
Lipoderma® may not be appropriate if you have an active infection in the treatment area, a history of severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis, a condition that affects healing, or if you are pregnant or nursing. Your Radiance provider will review your health history before recommending treatment.
What to Expect
Consultation
We start with a complimentary consultation to understand what bothers you, assess where fat has been lost, and confirm Lipoderma® is the right approach. If a different treatment would serve you better, we will tell you.
Treatment Planning
Your provider maps the areas to be treated and determines how much tissue is needed. Lipoderma® comes in small vials for precise facial and hand work and larger vials for broader restoration, so the plan is built around your anatomy.
Comfort Prep
The area is cleansed and marked, and a topical or local numbing agent is applied. Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable.
Treatment
Lipoderma® is placed beneath the skin in small, deliberate amounts, with attention to symmetry and natural contour. A typical session takes under an hour depending on the number of areas.
Back to Life
Because there is no liposuction donor site, downtime is minimal. Expect some swelling, bruising, or tenderness for several days. Most patients return to normal activity the next day and follow simple aftercare instructions from their provider.
Results You Can Expect
You will see added volume immediately after treatment. Over the first one to two weeks, swelling resolves and the area softens. Over the following weeks and months, the tissue integrates and the result settles into its final form. Patience pays off: the goal is not a new look on day one, it is looking like a rested version of yourself a few months from now.
Because Lipoderma® is real fat tissue rather than a filler that dissolves on a schedule, it is designed to become part of your own tissue over time. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations for longevity and whether a touch-up may be recommended.
Potential improvements include:
- Fuller, softer cheeks and midface
- Reduced under-eye hollowing and shadowing
- Smoother jawline and lower-face contour
- Less visible tendons and veins on the hands
- Improved neck contour and skin cushion
- A rested, natural appearance without the look of filler
Individual results may vary.
