What Is AlloClae™?
AlloClae™ is a regenerative, structural adipose filler designed to restore volume, refine contours, and enhance natural curves in areas such as the breasts, buttocks, and regions with irregularities. Unlike facial dermal fillers, AlloClae™ was specifically developed for body use, where supportive, soft-tissue integration is needed.
At Dermlounge — the medical spa of Richmond Aesthetic Surgery — board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Neil J. Zemmel offers AlloClae™ as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. By working within your body’s own structure, this treatment delivers subtle yet noticeable improvement without the recovery associated with implants or more extensive procedures.

How Does AlloClae™ Work?
AlloClae™ is made from donor-derived adipose and extracellular tissue components. It is biocompatible, meaning it can safely integrate with your natural tissue once injected. Using a fine cannula, the filler is carefully placed in targeted layers. This approach allows for the area to be smoothed, lifted, or shaped while maintaining a natural look and feel.
The procedure is typically performed in-office using local anesthesia. Most treatments take under an hour, and patients return home the same day. Because no general anesthesia or incisions are required, downtime is minimal compared to surgical alternatives.
Who Is a Candidate for AlloClae™?
AlloClae™ may be an option if you are in good health and want improvement without committing to surgery. You may be a candidate if you:
- Prefer a subtle increase in breast or buttock volume
- Have minor irregularities or asymmetry you’d like corrected
- Wish to refine or balance the outcome of a past procedure
- Value a minimally invasive option with little downtime
Patients seeking a more dramatic lift or size increase may benefit more from surgical procedures, like breast augmentation. Dr. Zemmel will guide you through all options during your consultation so you can make an informed choice.
What Are the Benefits of AlloClae™?
Patients often appreciate AlloClae™ for its ability to deliver soft, natural results. Some key benefits include a shorter recovery, no surgical scars, and the ability to address specific contour concerns. Many patients also find that their clothing and swimwear fit more smoothly after treatment, boosting both comfort and confidence.
Because the enhancements are modest, AlloClae™ is especially appealing to those who want improvement that feels personal and not necessarily obvious to others.
What Does the AlloClae™ Procedure Involve?
Treatment begins with mapping the areas where refinement is needed. A local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable throughout the process. Your provider then uses a cannula to place AlloClae™ with precision, building subtle support and shaping the tissue gradually.
This technique allows for customized results, whether the goal is to enhance breast fullness, smooth out a contour irregularity, or improve symmetry. Once the session is complete, patients can typically return to light activities right away, with only minor limitations for the first several days.
What Is Recovery Like After AlloClae™?
Most patients find recovery from AlloClae™ far easier than traditional surgery. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may develop around the injection sites, but these side effects usually improve within a week. Many patients resume daily routines within a few days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until cleared by your provider.
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided, and the Dermlounge team remains available to support you through every step of the healing process.
How Long Do AlloClae™ Results Last?
Results from AlloClae™ are long-lasting but not permanent. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler. Many patients enjoy their enhanced look for a year or longer before considering a maintenance treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Zemmel will discuss what you can expect and help you plan touch-ups if desired.
Are There Risks or Side Effects with AlloClae™?
As with any cosmetic procedure, AlloClae™ carries some risks. The most common side effects are temporary and include mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These typically resolve without intervention. More serious complications are rare, especially under the care of an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Zemmel.
How Much Does AlloClae™ Cost?
The cost of AlloClae™ depends on the treatment area and how much filler is required. Since every patient’s needs are different, pricing is provided after an in-person consultation. Many patients view AlloClae™ as a worthwhile investment because it offers noticeable, natural-looking improvement without surgery. For those interested, Dermlounge provides financing options to make treatment more accessible.
