Renuvion

What Is Renuvion?

Renuvion is a minimally invasive technology that contracts collagen-rich tissue beneath the skin. Using a unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma, the device delivers controlled heat that tightens loose skin while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This results in improved skin elasticity and a more defined, youthful appearance.

Unlike traditional skin tightening procedures that may require large incisions or more downtime, Renuvion works from beneath the skin through very small access points, offering powerful results with less scarring and faster recovery.

Why Choose Renuvion After Liposuction?

While liposuction effectively removes unwanted fat, some patients are left with skin laxity that prevents them from fully enjoying their slimmer results. During liposuction, fat is removed from beneath the skin, which can leave behind a gap between the skin and the underlying muscle. This is where Renuvion works best, by contracting collagen fibers, it pulls the skin closer to the muscle and enhances the overall contour.

When performed in combination with liposuction, Renuvion helps:

• Improve skin retraction and firmness
• Enhance the definition in treated areas
• Reduce sagging and rippling after fat removal
• Deliver longer-lasting contour improvements

What Areas Can Renuvion Treat?

Renuvion is versatile and FDA-cleared for skin tightening anywhere on the body. Common treatment areas include:

• Face and neck
• Arms
• Abdomen and waistline
• Back and bra roll
• Thighs and knees
• Chest and breasts (in men and women)

Who Is a Candidate for Renuvion?

Ideal candidates for Renuvion are men and women who struggle with loose or sagging skin due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or following liposuction. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results. During your consultation, our surgeons will evaluate your skin quality, review your goals, and recommend whether Renuvion alone or in combination with another procedure is best for you.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Renuvion can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment and patient preference. Through tiny incision points, the wand is inserted beneath the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy and helium plasma directly to collagen fibers. This process contracts the tissue immediately while also stimulating long-term collagen remodeling, known as neocollagenesis.

• Procedure time: Typically adds about 15-45 minutes per treatment area when combined with liposuction.
• Recovery: Most patients experience mild swelling and tenderness. Recovery time can range from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the number of areas treated.
• Results: Initial tightening is visible immediately, with continued improvement as new collagen develops over 6–9 months. Many patients report satisfaction with their results for up to 8 years.

Safety and Effectiveness

Renuvion stands out for its proven safety profile and precision. By delivering controlled energy beneath the skin, it minimizes the risk of surface damage while achieving targeted tightening. With multiple FDA clearances and a low major complication rate, Renuvion has become one of the most trusted technologies for body contouring worldwide.
