Uvence Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Mr Olivier Amar - Leading Plastic Surgeon in Chelsea, London
The Ultimate Personalised Injectable Treatment — Standardised, Quality Controlled & Cryopreserved
What is Uvence Treatment?
Uvence is a clinically advanced, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses your own fat cells to restore, regenerate and refresh the skin, with minimal downtime and no synthetic materials. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Uvence is powered by autologous nano fat – regenerative tissue extracted from your own body, cryogenically preserved to the highest laboratory standards and made available for on-demand reinjection at any time in the following five years.
Nano fat can be used for various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, hair and intimate area, providing rejuvenation without the need for extensive surgery.
The procedure begins with a small amount of fat harvested via manual micro liposuction. This fat is processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), the key regenerative components, then stored under Human Tissue Authority (HTA) regulations at the Uvence laboratory. When you and Mr Amar decide the time is right, pre-loaded syringes are prepared for reinjection in clinic, without requiring a repeat fat extraction procedure.
What Does Uvence Treat? Key Skin Benefits
Skin Tone & Texture Improvement
Skin appears visibly smoother and more radiant, acne scars and surface irregularities fade over time.
Collagen Stimulation & Wrinkle Reduction
Treated skin feels firmer and more resilient, with a naturally youthful appearance.
Deep Skin Hydration & Subtle Lifting
The regenerative properties of nano fat provide lasting hydration and a gentle lifting effect.
Safe, Long Term Cryogenic Storage
Your adipose tissue is securely stored at the Uvence laboratory, available for on-demand treatment at any point within five years of your initial extraction.
Uvence has been built on the principle that ‘what’s best for you, is you’.
Your consultation
Whether meeting in person or remotely, your consultation with Mr Olivier Amar provides a comprehensive discussion of your hoped for goals and treatment options. To get the most out of your consultation, we recommend reviewing information about your area of interest beforehand.
During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will listen to your desired outcomes and goals, conduct a thorough assessment, present appropriate treatment options and explain procedures in detail. This will include a step by step surgical process, required preparation, recovery timeline, scar placement and management, anaesthesia options, and potential risks and complications.
A consultation ensures you receive comprehensive information about all options, and understand both benefits and limitations of proposed procedures. You will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish before you decide the next steps together, including the option to take no action.
Advanced Facial Restoration
Mr Olivier Amar, a leading expert in fat transfer procedures, brings over two decades of experience in advanced regenerative techniques. Working alongside his father, Dr R. E. Amar – the pioneer of Facial Autologous Muscular Injection (FAMI) – Mr Amar is now at the forefront of research and innovation in this field.
Risks associated with surgery
Every surgical procedure, while performed with the utmost care and expertise, carries inherent risks. Mr Olivier Amar ensures all patients are fully informed about potential complications before proceeding with any treatment.
General surgical risks include post-operative infection, bleeding and haematoma formation, scarring and wound healing complications, and anaesthesia related complications. During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will provide detailed information about procedure specific risks, explain preventive measures and safety protocols, answer all questions about potential complications and provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Preparing for Your Surgery
All surgical procedures are teamwork between the surgeon and the patient. Just as a runner trains for a marathon, preparation is key for optimal recovery.
From the time you book the procedure ensure you maintain regular, gentle exercise, follow a balanced, nutritious diet, ensure adequate sleep and rest, and manage stress levels effectively. Alcohol consumption should be reduced and smoking stopped or minimised. If a patient feels prepared for surgery, they will arrive for their procedure feeling positive which in turn will reduce any anxiety and encourage stress free recovery.
The day before surgery, our dedicated pre-assessment nursing team will reconfirm your admission time, review fasting requirements, address any last minute questions and provide final preparation instructions.
Type of anaesthesia
Fat extraction by manual micro liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic. When you and Mr Amar decide the time is right for the second stage of the treatment - nano fat injections, pre-loaded syringes are prepared for reinjection in clinic as an outpatient, without requiring a repeat fat extraction procedure.
Recovery Guide
Fat transfer is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. As a result, there is minimal downtime required. Immediately post-surgery you can expect to experience mild pain and discomfort. Bruising and swelling typically resolves within 5-10 days.
Depending on the type of daily activities, you should be able to resume daily activities within 1-2 days and return to gentle exercise after approximately 2 weeks.
Aftercare Information
One week after surgery you will attend a nurse appointment, at this point your incision sites will be reviewed, stitches removed and initial healing will be assessed. A follow up consultation with Mr Olivier Amar will be scheduled for six weeks after your surgery to assess your overall recovery.
It is your responsibility to attend all scheduled appointments. Failing to attend appointments or follow post-operative instructions may impact your results and final outcome. Regular monitoring ensures optimal healing progression and early detection of complications. Mr Olivier Amar will discuss the post-operative schedule in detail during your consultation.
Scar Placement and Management
Any scars in the fat harvesting site are typically minimal and strategically placed in discreet locations like the navel or natural body creases. As a leading London based cosmetic surgeon, Mr Olivier Amar specialises in advanced scar management and prevention techniques. Leading up to your surgery or as part of your post-surgical care, a scar management protocol may be initiated using steroid injections and silicone dressings. A treatment course of Aerolase Neo laser is recommended post-surgery.
The Aerolase Neo laser treatment offers significant benefits for scar improvement:
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Reduces scar pigmentation
- Improves skin texture and appearance
- Softens scar tissue
- Promotes tissue remodelling
- Accelerates bruise healing
Maintaining your results
The result of nano fat transfer to face surgery can be best appreciated after 3-6 months. A combination of maintaining a steady weight and following post-operative instructions is key to a good result.
Certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. The most common impact of smoking before your surgery is that it increases your chances of developing an infection and inhibits your body’s natural healing processes. This is particularly important for fat grafting surgery in which the fat’s viability post-procedure is materially reduced in a smoker population.
Combination Procedures
For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, some patients opt to combine procedures to boost skin radiance while improving texture, firmness and elasticity, achieving more harmonious, balanced results. Many patients combine their Uvence treatment with treatments such as:
- Polynucleotide injections to boost skin hydration and enhance collagen production on the face, neck, decolletage and hands.
- Aerolase Neo Laser to stimulate natural collagen production, which is essential for improving skin firmness and elasticity, smoothing rough texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and minimising enlarged pores.
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment to boost skin radiance and luminosity while improving texture and reducing visible signs of ageing.
- Dermal filler for non-surgical chin and jawline contouring, creating a more defined jawline and balanced profile.
- Renuvion and micro liposuction to chin and neck for strategic removal of excess fat deposits, skin tightening and restoration of the defined jaw and neck angle.
- Fat transfer to face for volume restoration to the orbital and mouth areas.
How does Uvence work?
Uvence harnesses the body’s own regenerative potential through stem cells and growth factors naturally present in adipose (fat) tissue. Once reinjected, these components actively stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, boost hydration and accelerate tissue repair, delivering results that look and feel natural.
Nano fat transfer represents a significant advance in regenerative medicine. By utilising stem cells and growth factors found naturally within adipose tissue, the treatment regenerates ageing or damaged skin from within, boosting vascularisation, stimulating collagen and nourishing tissue at a cellular level. This makes Uvence particularly valuable for patients seeking long term skin health improvement, rather than temporary cosmetic correction.
What are the benefits of Autologous Nano Fat Transfer?
Autologous nano fat transfer offers a natural, science backed alternative to synthetic dermal fillers. Key benefits include:
- Natural looking results using your own tissue, no artificial products
- Improved skin tone, texture and luminosity
- Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles and surface scarring
- Stimulation of stem cells and growth factors for lasting tissue regeneration
- Minimally invasive with significantly shorter recovery time than surgical alternatives
- Long lasting results stored and accessible for up to five years
- Suitable for delicate areas poorly suited to synthetic fillers, including tear troughs and the décolletage
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Uvence so different?
Uvence is the ultimate personalised aesthetic treatment. It is the first treatment derived from a patient’s own tissues that provides a standardised, tested product that may be stored and used at a later date. The Uvence treatment offers a preventive approach by addressing the root causes of ageing.
Is Uvence safe?
Uvence is derived from a patient’s own tissue with no chemical or other modifications, prepared and supplied under Human Tissue Authority regulations and laboratory tested for purity and consistency. Uvence is a non-surgical, natural rejuvenation treatment with minimal downtime.
What concerns can Uvence treat?
Face & Neck: Uvence is commonly used to treat early signs of ageing in the face and neck, including lines and wrinkles (forehead, frown, marionette, nasolabial folds, smokers’ lines, and neck), as well skin elasticity and overall skin tone and quality.
Eyes: the skin around the eyes is thinner with less underlying fat, making it one of the first areas to show ageing. Uvence can treat sunken eyes, under eye lines and wrinkles, dark circles and crow’s feet.
Hands: the hands are frequently exposed to sunlight and pollution, often showing early signs of ageing. Uvence can address pigmentation and loss of skin tone, helping restore a more youthful appearance.
When can I return to exercise after surgery?
Depending on the type of daily activities, you should be able to resume daily activities within 1-2 days and return to gentle exercise after approximately 2 weeks.
WHAT FORM OF ANAESTHETIC WILL BE USED?
Fat extraction by manual micro liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic. When you and Mr Amar decide the time is right for the second stage of the treatment – nano fat injections, pre-loaded syringes are prepared for reinjection in clinic as an outpatient, without requiring a repeat fat extraction procedure.
WHERE WILL THE INCISIONS BE POSITIONED?
Any scars in the fat harvesting site are typically minimal and strategically placed in discreet locations like the navel or natural body creases.
WHAT AREAS Can Uvence treatment be used?
The treatment can be used for various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, buttocks and intimate area providing rejuvenation without the need for extensive surgery.
HOW CAN SMOKING AND ALCOHOL AFFECT THE RESULTS OF MY FAT GRAFTING SURGERY?
Certain lifestyle factors can increase the risk of complications during and after your surgery. The most common impact of smoking before your surgery is that it increases your chances of developing an infection and inhibits your body’s natural healing processes.
We insist that all patients stop smoking and using nicotine products at least six weeks before surgery. Reducing alcohol intake is also strongly advised. This is particularly important for fat grafting surgery in which the fat’s viability post-procedure is materially reduced in a smoker population.
WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS from Uvence treatment?
The result of Uvence treatment can be best appreciated after 3-6 months. A combination of maintaining a steady weight and following post-operative instructions is key to a good result.
