Renuvion® is a state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive cosmetic enhancement procedure designed to tighten lax tissues and improve signs of inelastic, sagging, or “crepey” skin. This technique, also sometimes referred to as “J-Plasma,” uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance the firmness and texture of the skin for more refined contours and a smoother look and feel. Dr. Semira Bayati can perform Renuvion® on its own, or it can be an ideal addition to a liposuction procedure to further enhance contour definition in the treatment area.
What Are the Benefits of Renuvion®
Renuvion® offers several advantages for both women and men who are looking for ways to achieve firmer skin in specific body areas. While exercise and healthy diet regimens can have positive results for keeping the body in shape, they may not be significantly effective for improving loose, inelastic skin. For ideal candidates, Renuvion® may be a good option to address this common concern in regions such as the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, arms, thighs, buttocks, and hips.
As noted above, Renuvion® can be performed as a standalone procedure or as an add-on to liposuction, depending on individual needs and goals. Renuvion® can also be part of a comprehensive Mommy Makeover. Dr. Bayati can determine whether Renuvion® is right for you during your initial consultation.
What Does the Renuvion® Procedure Involve?
If Renuvion® is being performed on its own as opposed to combining it with liposuction, it may only require a local numbing agent applied to the treatment area rather than general anesthesia. Small incisions are made in the targeted areas, and the handheld Renuvion® device is delicately inserted beneath the skin. The device emits helium plasma and radiofrequency energy, which heats the tissues and controls the temperature in a way that causes them to contract and tighten. Additionally, the process can stimulate the skin’s natural healing abilities, allowing it to produce new collagen and elastin, which can further enhance the results over time.
It is important to note that, if Renuvion® is being performed in tandem with liposuction, general anesthesia will likely be necessary since liposuction involves a more invasive surgical technique.
Renuvion® is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The length of time the procedure takes will depend on the extent of treatment and the number of areas included in the treatment plan. The recovery process resulting from this procedure can vary significantly among patients. Some individuals may only need a few days or less before resuming work and other daily activities, others may need a bit more time. Dr. Bayati can provide more precise guidelines for recovery once your needs have been evaluated.
How Long Do Renuvion® Results Last?
The results of Renuvion® often become noticeable very soon after treatment and can last long into the future with proper attention to skin care and healthy lifestyle habits. After the initial results begin to appear, the treated areas should show even greater improvement over the next several months as new collagen continues to replenish the skin.
How Much Does Renuvion® Cost?
The cost of Renuvion® will ultimately depend on each patient’s unique treatment plan. Since treatments are customized, factors such as the number and size of the areas being targeted, whether Renuvion® is being performed with another procedure (such as liposuction), and other components will be taken into account. Once the treatment plan has been developed, a member of our team can calculate a personalized cost estimate and answer any questions you may have.
