In the ever – evolving world of aesthetic medicine, Renuvion has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation in body contouring. This technology is transforming the landscape of cosmetic procedures, offering a solution for skin laxity across various age groups, with minimal downtime and results that only improve over time.
Renuvion
At its core, Renuvion is a non – surgical treatment designed to tighten skin in a revolutionary way. According to Dr. Suzanne Trott, an ASPS Member Surgeon, “Renuvion is a minimally invasive game – changing procedure that uses a combination of radiofrequency and helium to’shrink wrap’ the tissue.” It can be performed under either local or general anesthesia. A cannula, similar in appearance to a small liposuction cannula, is inserted. The radiofrequency energy heats the helium to a state where it rapidly contracts the skin and subdermal tissues. Notably, the heating is so superficial and the contraction so significant that the treated area cools back to its normal temperature in less than a second. This means that despite the helium plasma heating the subdermal space more than some other similar devices, there is a reduced risk of burns or other unwanted injuries. Dr. Trott, with over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery, remarks, “This is really the first device that really tightens tissue.” Additionally, it has been observed that fat grafting fares better in areas where Renuvion has been applied.
Best Applications for Renuvion
There are specific areas of the body where Renuvion has proven to be most effective. Dr. Sanjay Grover, another ASPS Member Surgeon, states, “The place where I use it the most is either on the front of the abdomen, in the mid – back bra roll area and throughout the arms.” This makes it an excellent option for patients who could benefit from an upper body lift but wish to avoid the large scars associated with traditional procedures across the upper back. Instead, a combination of liposuction and Renuvion is used in these areas to achieve better skin contraction and eliminate upper back rolls. It’s important to note that Renuvion is typically not a stand – alone procedure. Dr. Grover explains, “In general, Renuvion is not a freestanding procedure. Instead, you have to perform it along with some sort of adjunct procedure, like liposuction, in order to get the best results possible.”
Ideal Patient Profile for Renuvion
Not every patient is a suitable candidate for Renuvion. Dr. Trott notes, “The best patients for Renuvion have mild to moderate skin laxity and are between their 20s and early 50s, both men and women who want to do a minimally invasive procedure with less cost and downtime. It is a great ‘bridge’ procedure for anyone who isn’t yet ready to commit to surgery.” Skin elasticity also plays a crucial role. Dr. Grover says, “I think the ideal patient is someone who needs a small amount of body contouring and is already in very good shape, but does have certain pockets of extra fat that they want to address. These patients tend to have better elasticity, and any patient with better elasticity is going to have better results. But even some patients with less – than – ideal elasticity can still see benefits from Renuvion.”
For those looking to tighten loose skin, Renuvion offers an outstanding non – invasive option to incorporate into a body contouring plan. By applying radiofrequency and helium to create actual tissue contraction, it provides immediate and remarkable results. Patients can work with a board – certified plastic surgeon to design the perfect treatment plan to achieve their desired toned and tightened body.
To ensure a safe and effective cosmetic or reconstructive procedure, it is advisable to consult a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. All ASPS members are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, have completed an accredited plastic surgery training program, practice in accredited facilities, and adhere to strict safety and ethical standards. Patients can easily find an ASPS member in their area to discuss their options.
