Renuvion Skin Tightening
Renuvion is a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure that uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to tighten loose skin and improve its texture. Renuvion skin tightening can be used to treat a variety of areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees.
Who is a good candidate? Who is NOT a candidate?
An ideal candidate is someone who experiences signs of mild skin sagging on the face or body, and want to achieve a look that tightens the skin. Individuals who prefer not to undergo a traditional facelift or bodylift procedure may opt for Renuvion instead, achieving great results with minimally-invasive surgery with a shorter recovery time.
How is the treatment done?
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the treatment area, and a thin cannula (tube) is inserted beneath the skin. The cannula delivers a precise combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the treatment area, which causes the underlying tissues to contract and tighten. This process also stimulates collagen production, which helps to further tighten and firm the skin over time. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days after the procedure.
How long does it take to see results?
Results may be seen in as little as days or weeks and will continue to improve throughout the healing process.
Why do the procedure/benefits?
Renuvion is used to firm the skin of the face or body to achieve the results of a tighter, younger-looking figure and face. It accomplishes this through a minimally-invasive approach where small incisions allow for the insertion of the slender wand that delivers the helium plasma and RF energy to heat and tighten tissue.
How long is recovery? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.)
The recovery time for Renuvion skin tightening varies depending on the size and location of the treatment area. However, most patients can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area for the first few days after the procedure. It is recommended that patients wear a compression garment for several days following the procedure to help minimize swelling and bruising. Pain medication may also be prescribed to help manage any discomfort.
Most patients are able to return to work and their normal activities within a week after the procedure, but it may take up to several weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely subside. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise or activities for several weeks after the procedure to allow the treated area to fully heal.
How often do you have to follow up/maintenance?
Renuvion is a single treatment.
