7 Interesting Facts You Should Know About Renuvion Skin Tightening

Renuvion® is an innovative treatment that provides dramatic skin tightening on almost any part of the body. This minimally invasive treatment has quickly surged in popularity, as it allows patients to address loose skin without an entirely surgical body lift.
The Renuvion® procedure offers dramatic results with a brief downtime of one to two days. Thanks to the thin design of the Renuvion® device, the entry points are quite small, meaning the scar left behind will be minimal. Scars wind up resembling freckle-like blemishes at worst in most cases and fade considerably as results improve.
Keep reading to discover seven key facts about how this advanced treatment firms the skin and the unique advantages it offers compared to other skin tightening options.
1. Renuvion® Can Tighten Almost Any Body Part
As board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Cythnia Poulos highlights, a skilled surgeon can perform Renuvion® on various regions, including the chin, arms, stomach, thighs, and waist.
The treatment combines radiofrequency and helium plasma energy energies, applied by a thin wand through tiny entry points. This energy helps contract loose skin tissue by stimulating collagen production. Thanks to the controlled manner in which it tightens skin, Renuvion® allows you to address laxity concerns wherever they pop up, from the jawline to the lower legs.
2. It Offers The Best of Both Worlds
Nonsurgical skin tightening options, from creams to laser treatments, allow patients to experience little to no downtime. Meanwhile, fully invasive body lift procedures provide far more dramatic results but come with a much more grueling process and lengthy recovery.
Minimally invasive Renuvion® is in the middle of the treatment spectrum. Although there is some minor downtime, the amount of tightening delivered is significantly greater than that of non-invasive options.
3. Downtime and Scarring Are Minimal
As you can see in the reel above, our featured patient achieved dramatic results on her abdomen with almost no scarring to show.
Unlike a full-on, invasive tummy tuck, the scarring and downtime after Renuvion® are minimal. Tummy tucks and other skin excision treatments require large incisions made with a scalpel to remove excess tissue and tighten the remaining skin. While they can deliver dramatic results for patients with dramatic amounts of loose skin, Renuvion® may offer a more practical solution for minor to moderate laxity.
Downtime after the treatment can last between one and three days, although compression garments should be worn for a few weeks. By contrast, weeks of downtime are required after a tummy tuck, not to mention the surgical drains and general anesthesia involved. With Renuvion®, patients remain fully awake and at ease, avoiding the risks of going under.
4. Results Appear Quickly and Are Long-Lasting
Results should appear almost instantly after a Renuvion® procedure. Better yet, thanks to continual collagen production, your skin firmness and tone will keep improving weeks after treatment.
Compare that with dermal fillers or Botox, two nonsurgical injectibles commonly performed on the face and neck region, whose results fade and must be maintained after about six months.
5. It is Great For Post Weight-Loss Tightening
With the increasing popularity of GLP-1 medications, one common concern patients express is loose skin following their transformation. While you can take several steps to avoid loose skin during weight loss, sometimes it is inevitable.
Renuvion® allows you to target skin laxity concerns arising after a weight loss journey. For those patients who have lost weight incrementally, Renuvion® can deliver a targeted solution. This procedure avoids general anesthesia, a common concern for patients on GLP-1s. Some even opt for skin tightening before losing weight, which can minimize saggy skin later on.
6. Renuvion® Pairs Seamlessly With Other Treatments
Highly versatile Renuvion® can be combined with other body contouring procedures, including fat removal and transfers, to provide a holistic result. Many patients find that they have loose skin after getting liposuction alone, so surgeons may recommend Renuvion® to tighten their newly slimmed areas.
7. You Can Combine Fat Removal And Renuvion® With AirSculpt+
AirSculpt is a next-generation body contouring treatment that permanently removes fat and tightens skin. Although it always leaves the skin of treated areas firmer than before, patients who want additional tightening can opt for AirSculpt+, our in-house Renuvion® procedure.
As you can see in our Renuvion® before-and-after gallery, this procedure can sculpt smooth results on various body parts, from the thighs to the chin. Scarring is minimal after both AirSculpt and Renuvion®, given that everything is done through the same tiny freckle-sized entry points. This added benefit means you'll be able to easily conceal any signs of treatment.
