What is Renuvion?
When we talk about treatments to combat skin laxity and improve body contour, one of the names that stands out today is Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma. It is a minimally invasive technique that combines the benefits of radiofrequency energy with helium plasma, effectively and safely tightening the skin.
What is Renuvion?
Renuvion is a medical-aesthetic procedure that uses cold ionized helium plasma. This plasma is applied through small incisions under the skin, generating controlled heat that acts directly on the subdermal tissues.
The immediate result is the contraction of collagen fibers, which produces a visible tightening of the skin. In addition, over the following months, the process stimulates the production of new collagen, progressively improving the firmness and appearance of the treated area.
When is it used?
Renuvion can be applied in different scenarios:
- Treatment of mild to moderate skin laxity, both on the face and the body.
- As a complement to liposuction, since it not only removes fat but also helps tighten excess skin and better define the musculature.
- Most requested areas: abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, and chin.
Renuvion and liposuction: a winning combination
In many cases, liposuction removes localized fat, but the skin may be left somewhat loose. This is where Renuvion makes the difference: when applied together with liposuction, we achieve a more complete result, with a firm, defined contour—even highlighting the musculature (for example, in the abdomen).
Frequently asked questions about Renuvion
Is Renuvion treatment painful?
Is Renuvion treatment painful?
When combined with liposuction, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during surgery. In cases where Renuvion is applied on its own, it can be carried out with local anesthesia and sedation. After the treatment, it is normal to experience some swelling or mild discomfort, which usually disappear within a few days.
How long do the results of Renuvion last?
How long do the results of Renuvion last?
The skin-tightening effects are immediate and improve over time thanks to the production of new collagen. Results can last several years, depending on factors such as skin quality, natural aging, and the patient’s lifestyle habits.
