alloClae™ · Non-Surgical Fat Transfer · Fleming Island, FL
alloClae™ is a fat transfer without the liposuction: donor fat that adds immediate, natural-looking volume to soften hip dips and refine your curves. No surgery, no implants, and no synthetic filler.

Treatment Overview
A traditional fat transfer is a two-part surgery: fat is harvested from your own body with liposuction, then purified and grafted where you want more volume. alloClae™ skips the harvest. It is a ready-to-use structural adipose filler made from donated human fat tissue, screened and processed so that no living cells remain while the fat keeps its natural three-dimensional structure. Once placed, it performs like your own fat, adding volume immediately and acting as a natural scaffold your own tissue can grow into over time, so the result settles as soft, natural volume rather than an overfilled look.
At Pura Vida, we use alloClae™ for body contouring. It is most often chosen to soften hip dips, the inward curve below the hip bone that is shaped largely by bone structure and rarely changes with exercise, and to add shape and projection to the buttocks for a smoother hip-to-glute line. It can also even out small contour irregularities where fat naturally sits. Because it is not surgery, not an implant, and not a synthetic filler, many patients see it as a no-downtime alternative to a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift.
It is also different from our Liquid BBL with Radiesse and Sculptra, which builds volume gradually from your own collagen. alloClae™ adds volume right away, using fat. Both live within our complete body contouring program, and we help you choose honestly between them at your consultation. Results vary, and if a surgical result is what you truly want, we will say so plainly instead.
What To Expect
The benefits of a fat transfer, delivered in-office without surgery: a subtle, natural-looking refinement of your hips and curves, matched to your frame and your expectations rather than a dramatic, surgical change.
Unlike a biostimulator that builds slowly over months, alloClae™ adds volume the day it is placed. Because it is fat, placed where fat naturally sits, the result looks soft and moves naturally with your body.
The fat arrives ready to use, so there is no harvest surgery and no second treatment site to heal. This is an in-office procedure, and most patients return to normal activity within a day or two, with some soreness and swelling in the treated area.
alloClae™ acts as a natural scaffold your own tissue can grow into, so the soft volume it adds can settle in and last a long time. How long it holds varies with your body and lifestyle, and results are never guaranteed.
alloClae™ can be planned alongside our other body-contouring treatments, such as Emsculpt Neo or Liquid Lipo, for a broader shaping plan your provider can walk through at your consultation.
Fleming Island · Northeast Florida
Pura Vida is the only medspa in Northeast Florida offering alloClae™, so patients from across Clay County and Jacksonville often arrive having searched for a fat transfer without liposuction or a way to soften hip dips. They ask precise questions about how donor fat works and how it compares to surgery. We meet that with equally precise answers, and we stay candid that results vary and that this is a refinement, not a surgical procedure.
The practice Fleming Island trusts for medical wellness, voted the area’s best medspa six years running, cared for from our Medical Spa on Island Lane.
Serving
The Pura Vida Approach
alloClae™ is not a treatment any injector can pick up. Placing a fat transfer by cannula takes advanced skill: reading how fat sits on your frame, choosing the right depth, and sculpting volume evenly so hip dips soften and your curves still look like your own. That is why every alloClae™ treatment at Pura Vida is performed by one provider, Brittany Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C.
Brittany leads our injectable team, and Tiger Aesthetics, the company behind alloClae™, personally invited her to offer it based on her skill level. Bringing in innovative, carefully vetted treatments and placing them with our most experienced providers is how we run our complete body contouring program. When a patient’s goals genuinely call for surgery, we say so plainly.
Is This For You?
If alloClae™ will not meet your goal, we will tell you honestly and point you to the treatment, or the surgical referral, that will, rather than oversell what an injectable can do.
Declining a treatment that would not serve you is part of how we work.

Our Process
We confirm you understand alloClae™ is a non-surgical fat transfer using donor fat, not a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift, and we walk through how it differs from our Liquid BBL. If a surgical result is truly what you want, we tell you plainly that a surgical consultation is the right next step instead.
Brittany assesses your frame, reviews your health history, and maps where added volume will refine your shape most naturally, from softening hip dips to smoothing the hip-to-glute line, along with an honest estimate of how much alloClae™ your goal calls for.
After numbing the area for your comfort, Brittany places alloClae™ through a small cannula, layering the fat at the right depth and sculpting it evenly as she goes. This careful placement is what makes the result look like your own shape. Treatment typically takes about 30 to 90 minutes. Expect some soreness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area for a few days, with most patients back to normal activity within one to two days.
You see added volume right away, and because alloClae™ contains naturally occurring fat, results can be long-lasting. We photograph your progress and follow up honestly on how your result settles and holds over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
In effect, yes: alloClae™ is a fat transfer without the liposuction. A traditional fat transfer is surgery that first harvests fat from your own body, then grafts it where you want more volume. alloClae™ is a ready-to-use structural adipose filler made from donated human fat tissue, screened and processed so that no living cells remain while the natural structure of fat is preserved. Once placed, it behaves like the fat already in that area and acts as a scaffold your own tissue can grow into over time. At our Fleming Island Medical Spa we use it for body contouring, most often for the hips and buttocks.
alloClae™ is one of the most natural ways to soften hip dips without surgery. Hip dips, the inward curve just below the hip bone, are shaped largely by your bone structure, so diet and exercise rarely change them. Placing donor fat into that hollow can smooth the line from your waist to your thigh. How much correction is possible depends on your anatomy, and Brittany will tell you honestly at your consultation what to expect.
A surgical Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer performed in an operating room: fat is removed by liposuction and then regrafted, with the recovery and risk profile of surgery. alloClae™ uses donor fat instead, so there is no liposuction. It is placed in-office, typically in under an hour, and most patients return to normal activity within a day or two. It suits patients who want a more subtle, natural refinement rather than a surgical change, and if a surgical result is truly your goal, we will say so plainly rather than oversell a non-surgical option.
Both are non-surgical, but they work in different ways. Our Liquid BBL uses Radiesse and Sculptra to prompt your own collagen, so volume builds gradually over months across a series of sessions. alloClae™ is a donor-fat transfer that adds volume immediately, using fat tissue rather than stimulating collagen. At your consultation we explain both honestly and recommend the one that fits your goal, your timeline, and your body.
alloClae™ is made from donated human fat tissue and is regulated as a Human Cell and Tissue Product (HCT/P), which means the donor tissue is screened and tested under the FDA framework for these products. It contains no living cells. As with any injectable procedure there are possible risks, including bruising, swelling, soreness, and less commonly firmness or nodules at the treated site, and it is not appropriate for everyone. Brittany reviews your full history and the safety information with you before recommending it.
Because alloClae™ is real fat tissue that your body can integrate, results can be long-lasting, but how long they hold varies with your body and lifestyle, and no result is guaranteed to be permanent. Pricing depends on how much volume your goal calls for and is confirmed at your consultation. We would rather quote you honestly in person than post a number that would not match your actual plan.
Every alloClae™ treatment at Pura Vida is performed by Brittany Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and by no one else. Placing a fat transfer evenly takes advanced technical skill, and Tiger Aesthetics, the company behind alloClae™, personally invited Brittany to offer it based on her skill level. Treatment takes place at our Medical Spa on Island Lane in Fleming Island, FL, serving patients from Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and greater Jacksonville across Clay County.
