What is Renuvion?

One of the most innovative and advanced developments in non-surgical aesthetics, Renuvion is a helium-based treatment that is used in conjunction with liposuction. This procedure is highly effective for tightening the skin, correcting lines and wrinkles, and improving surface abnormalities of the skin. Renuvion is a great option for anyone who wants to address sagging skin of the body — particularly for women who want to improve their abdomen after having children.

How Renuvion works

The combination of helium gas and radiofrequency energy is what makes Renuvion work. The helium gas quickly converts to plasma and is energized by radiofrequency energy to create a powerful, precise stream of cool plasma. This stream goes right underneath the skin.

When this helium plasma touches the tissue beneath the skin, it causes the collagen fibers to shrink within the skin, pulling them tighter while kickstarting brand new collagen production. This process is effective even in areas where collagen production has significantly slowed down.

One of the greatest advantages of Renuvion is that the helium plasma stream only reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This lower-level heat is especially effective for treating areas with very thin, delicate skin where collagen production has slowed.

Renuvion for skin laxity of the body

Renuvion is able to achieve 50% to 80% of what a surgical procedure can achieve, and beautifully and safely stimulates collagen production deep within the skin’s layers.

The Renuvion device can tighten skin in a variety of areas, including:

Upper arms
Abdomen
Love handles
Buttocks
Thighs
Knees

Renuvion treatment details

After local anesthesia has been applied to the treatment area, the Renuvion cannula (a long, thin tube) is inserted just beneath your skin. Helium is emitted from the tip of this cannula.

Once the cannula is placed beneath the skin, heat produced from the plasma triggers instant skin tightening. This produces an effect similar to shrink-wrap of the skin against the muscle. A typical Renuvion treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Recovery and results

Many patients are able to return to work or other activities the day after their Renuvion procedure, while others may require a few more days. You will need to wear a compression garment for the first week or two, and you may experience some skin redness and/or tenderness in the treated area.

You will see results almost immediately, with your skin appearing tighter and firmer. Not only this — your skin will continue to become tighter and more youthful over the following 6 to 9 months, as the new collagen production continues.

Candidates for Renuvion

If you’re interested in Renuvion skin tightening in Tampa or Sarasota, you may be an excellent candidate. The best candidates for this procedure have mild to moderate sagging skin and do not want to undergo surgery. If your skin laxity is more severe, surgical skin tightening may be a better option for your needs.
