From Within
What Is Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is an advanced skin-tightening technology designed to improve mild to moderate skin laxity without removing skin.
Renuvion® uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to contract the connective tissues. Some contraction occurs immediately, followed by continued tightening and remodeling as the tissues heal over the months that follow.
Is Renuvion® Right for Me?
Renuvion® can be used on its own for skin tightening, combined with liposuction, or incorporated into other body contouring procedures depending on your skin quality and goals.
Skin laxity exists on a spectrum. Some patients need skin tightening alone, others have excess fat as well, and some have enough loose skin that surgical removal is the better option.
Common Treatment Areas
- Neck & Jawline
- Upper Arms
- Bra Line & Back
- Abdomen
- Inner & Outer Thighs
- Subgluteal Area
YOUR OPTIONS
Finding the Right Treatment
The right approach depends on the amount of loose skin, whether excess fat is also present, and how much improvement you're looking for.
Renuvion® can be used on its own when additional skin contraction is needed without significant excess fat or skin.
Liposuction removes and shapes excess fat while Renuvion® tightens the overlying skin.
When loose skin needs to be surgically removed, Renuvion® can be added to tighten the remaining skin and further refine the contour.
Renuvion® With Body Contouring Surgery
Removing excess skin does not always address the quality or laxity of the skin that remains. When needed, Renuvion® can be incorporated into body contouring surgery to further tighten the remaining tissue.

Mini Tummy Tuck
Improve abdominal skin laxity beyond the area being removed
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
The best treatment for loose skin depends not only on your anatomy, but also on your goals and what you're comfortable with in terms of scars and recovery. In some cases, removing excess skin will provide the greatest improvement, but that doesn't mean it's the right choice for you.
For patients who aren't ready for or don't want skin removal surgery, Renuvion® may provide meaningful improvement without the scars and recovery of an excisional procedure. We'll discuss what you can realistically expect from each option and choose an approach that reflects your priorities.
Recovery
Planning for Your Recovery
Recovery after Renuvion® depends on the areas treated and whether it is performed on its own or combined with another procedure. When combined with liposuction or body contouring surgery, your recovery will primarily be determined by the other procedures performed.
