What is Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is a revolutionary system that combines helium plasma technology with the efficiency of radiofrequency energy. This combination allows for precise and controlled skin tightening. When Renuvion® is applied beneath the skin surface, it causes an immediate contraction of the tissue, leading to tighter, more youthful-looking skin. This procedure is often used in conjunction with liposuction to enhance skin retraction and improve the overall contouring effect. Renuvion® is the only device that is FDA‑cleared for use after liposuction, and the only device FDA‑cleared for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is incredibly versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the body. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and neck. The technology’s precision makes it an excellent choice for facial rejuvenation as well, particularly in areas like the lower face and neck where skin laxity is a common concern.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Renuvion®?
Ideal candidates for Renuvion® are individuals who are looking for a minimally invasive procedure to tighten and rejuvenate their skin. This treatment is particularly suitable for those who have mild to moderate skin laxity and are seeking an alternative to more invasive surgeries. It’s also a great option for individuals who have undergone liposuction and wish to enhance their results with improved skin tightness. During your consultation at Coundouriotis Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, Dr. Coundouriotis will assess your specific needs and determine if Renuvion® is the right choice for you.
What Can I Expect During the Renuvion® Procedure?
The Renuvion® procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes downtime and allows for a quicker recovery compared to more invasive surgeries. However, it can also be combined with liposuction, adding only a few minutes per treatment area to the standard liposuction procedure. The treatment involves making small incisions in the targeted area, through which the Renuvion® wand is inserted. The device then delivers a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten collagen fibers, pulling the skin closer to the muscles.
What is the Renuvion® Recovery Process Like?
Recovery time following a Renuvion® treatment can vary, typically spanning about two weeks. However, this duration may extend for certain patients, especially when Renuvion® is combined with other procedures such as liposuction. It's important to note that healing experiences differ from person to person. During the recovery phase, patients commonly experience redness, peeling, and some degree of swelling. These are normal aspects of the healing process. To assist with your recovery, Dr. Coundouriotis will provide detailed guidance on skin care post-treatment.
What Results Can I Expect from Renuvion®?
The results from Renuvion® are designed to be long-lasting. Although the aging process continues, Renuvion® initiates a sustainable process of collagen rebuilding. This method contributes to prolonged improvement in skin tightness and texture. Renuvion® is generally a one-time treatment, with noticeable results emerging in a matter of days or weeks. The full extent of these improvements becomes more apparent throughout the healing process, as the skin gradually rejuvenates and tightens.
How Much Does Renuvion® Cost?
The cost of Renuvion® varies depending on several factors, including the size and number of areas being treated, and whether it is combined with other procedures like liposuction. At Coundouriotis Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we understand that each patient has unique needs and goals, which is why we offer personalized treatment plans. The exact cost of your Renuvion® procedure will be discussed during your consultation. We also offer financing options to help make the treatment more affordable.
