Studies on Renova showed that after 24 weeks approximately 30 percent of people who used the product for fine wrinkles or spotty discoloration had moderate improvement, 35 percent had minimal improvement and 35 percent had no improvement. Among individuals who used the product, about 16 percent had moderate improvement in skin roughness, 35 percent saw minimal improvement and 49 percent had no improvement.
Renova does not eliminate wrinkles or repair the sun-damaged skin that leads to cancer. Nor is there evidence that Renova treats coarse skin, deep wrinkles, skin yellowing or other skin problems.
When patients use Renova, improvement in fine wrinkling, spotty skin discoloration and rough skin occurs gradually over time. Generally, patients notice some effect in three to four months, with the most noticeable effects at about six months. Little additional improvement is expected after that time. If Renova treatment is stopped, the improvements attained by treatment gradually diminish.
The safety of using Renova daily for more than 48 weeks has not been established, and Renova should not be used on patients who are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant. Renova has not been studied in people who are age 50 or older or in people with moderately or darkly pigmented skin.
