Radiofrequency energy has become a popular method for achieving a host of cosmetic goals today. The innovative Renuvion device takes RF treatments to the next level, with unprecedented temperature control that promises a safe and effective skin smoothing procedure. Now available at Dr. Andrews Plastic, Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Andrews has five good reasons to consider Renuvion for your next aesthetic treatment.
Treats Many Areas
The Renuvion treatment can be used to treat many areas for body and facial rejuvenation, including:
- Forehead
- Eyelids and around the eyes
- Around the mouth
- Jawline and neck area
- Thighs and buttocks
- Abdomen
- Arms
The procedure tends to work best on mild to moderate amounts of skin laxity (loose skin). Extensive skin sagging may require a surgical procedure to achieve the desired results. However, the combination of liposuction and Renuvion can be especially effective for patients also bothered by stubborn fat. Renuvion is the only device FDA-cleared to use with liposuction, which can enhance body contouring results and help you achieve a more youthful appearance.
Precision Heating
Renuvion is the first device to deliver precise levels of heating to the skin, using a combination of radiofrequency energy for heat and helium plasma energy to cool the surrounding skin. This advancement ensures skin is heated just enough to stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening without damaging the skin. The device is also adjustable, allowing us to treat various levels of skin laxity and different areas of the face with a single procedure. RF and helium energies contract subcutaneous soft tissue to tighten skin in the deep layers while resurfacing healthy skin to cover up uneven skin texture and tone.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Unlike surgical skin tightening and body contouring procedures, Renuvion is a relatively painless treatment. Renuvion only requires local anesthesia and tiny incisions that leave minimal, if any scars. The Renuvion wand is inserted through these incisions to treat loose skin directly by promoting collagen production and tissue contraction to target the root cause of skin elasticity.
Minimal Downtime
The healing process after a Renuvion procedure is short, which means you can return to work and other activities within a few days. Mild to moderate bruising, swelling, and redness in the treatment area is common but will improve within one week. Although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks, most patients can comfortably return to work and daily activities after a short weekend recovery.
Long-Lasting Results
Because Renuvion works with the body’s natural processes to tighten and smooth skin, results can be soon after the procedure and continue to improve in the weeks following treatment as collagen fibers develop. Most patients will require 3-6 treatment sessions to achieve full results, depending on the amount of sagging skin and the specific areas being treated. Once full results are achieved, they will last for many months. A touch-up procedure is often needed to maintain results.
