How Renuvion Works
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to deliver controlled, targeted heat beneath the skin. This causes tissue contraction while stimulating new collagen production. Because the plasma cools almost instantly, the procedure is both precise and safe.
Renuvion is often performed alongside the liposuction procedure, but it can also be a standalone treatment for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Treatment Benefits
As a minimally invasive procedure, Renuvion provides exceptional results with minimal downtime. Some of the leading benefits include:
- Noticeably firmer, more toned skin immediately after treatment
- Gradual improvements over several months as collagen remodels
- Small entry points that minimize scarring
- Shorter recovery compared to facelift, neck lift, or other surgical procedures
- Versatility for use on the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs
Renuvion is an excellent option for patients who experience loose skin on their bodies but are not ready for a full surgical lift procedure.
"It’s minimally invasive," said Dr. Schaffer. "Small incisions—tiny entry points—and you’re not relying on large surgical cuts. It gives us another tool for patients who want to improve contour but aren’t ready for or don’t need a full lift."
Who is a Candidate?
Renuvion is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want firmer, more youthful contours without extensive surgery. Ideal candidates:
- Have realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking results
- Maintain good skin health and elasticity
- May be seeking refinement after liposuction or want to address age-related sagging
Because results continue to improve over time, Renuvion works well for patients looking for both immediate tightening and long-term rejuvenation.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most Renuvion treatments are performed in-office and take about 90 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Local anesthesia or sedation may be used for comfort.
During treatment, Dr. Schaffer makes tiny incisions to insert the Renuvion wand beneath the skin. Patients typically notice firmer contours immediately. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but generally resolves within days.
Results improve gradually over 3–6 months as collagen contracts and rebuilds.
"It’s not an instant gratification procedure," said Dr. Schaffer. "Patients need to be patient—results evolve over several months as the collagen contracts and remodels."
