Understanding Renuvion Skin Tightening Technology

Renuvion is an innovative FDA-cleared radiofrequency energy-based skin tightening device designed to enhance body contouring procedures. This advanced technology combines helium gas with radiofrequency energy to create a precise plasma treatment targeting subcutaneous soft tissue.

Key Features of Renuvion

• FDA-cleared for use after liposuction
• Targets exposed collagen for tissue contraction
• Utilizes plasma energy for skin tightening
• Minimally invasive treatment method

Treatment Applications and Process

Dr. Glenn Lyle applies Renuvion during liposuction procedures for targeted areas including the back, flanks, abdomen, arms, and inner thighs. The device is inserted through the same small incisions used for liposuction, allowing for precise soft tissue treatment.

Collagen Stimulation and Skin Tightening

When exposed to energy, collagen contracts and stimulates new collagen production, a process known as neocollagenesis. This mechanism helps improve skin tightness and overall tissue appearance, with results typically becoming significant after three months and continuing to improve over time.

Treatment Considerations

Renuvion treatments can be performed under local anesthesia or combined with larger procedures under general anesthetic. While complications are uncommon, potential risks include changes in sensation, thermal burns, skin deformities, pigmentation changes, and scarring.

• Formerly known as J plasma
• Direct subcutaneous treatment
