Loose or sagging skin is a common concern that can affect your confidence, especially after weight loss, pregnancy, or simply due to the natural aging process. While traditional surgery can correct skin laxity, many people today are looking for less invasive alternatives that still deliver noticeable results. At Dr. Andrews Plastic Surgery in Coralville, IA, we offer Renuvion Skin Tightening, an advanced treatment that uses plasma energy to safely and effectively firm the skin without large incisions or extended downtime.
If you’re seeking a smoother, tighter appearance without major surgery, Renuvion may be the perfect solution for you.
What Is Renuvion Skin Tightening?
Renuvion is a cutting-edge cosmetic technology that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten loose or sagging skin. Also known as J-Plasma, this innovative procedure is minimally invasive and works by delivering controlled thermal energy beneath the skin’s surface. This energy contracts underlying tissue instantly and stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Renuvion is ideal for patients looking to treat areas such as:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs
- Neck
- Back
- Flanks
You can learn more about the procedure on our Renuvion Skin Tightening page.
How Does Renuvion Work?
The Renuvion device is inserted through small incisions in the treatment area. Once inside, it delivers a precise stream of plasma energy that contracts the surrounding tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. This immediate tightening effect is complemented by gradual improvements over the next few months, as your body produces more collagen and elastin.
Unlike traditional skin tightening surgeries, Renuvion does not require the removal of excess skin, resulting in reduced scarring and a significantly quicker recovery time.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Renuvion?
Renuvion is best suited for individuals who:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- They are generally in good health
- Do not want or need full surgical skin removal
- Have realistic expectations about the results
It is also an excellent option for patients looking to enhance the results of liposuction, as it helps tighten the skin around areas where fat has been removed.
During your consultation, Dr. Kahlil Andrews will assess your skin and determine if Renuvion is the right treatment for your goals. If necessary, he may recommend combining Renuvion with another procedure for optimal results.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Renuvion skin tightening is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment area. The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and two hours.
Recovery is relatively quick—most patients experience some swelling and bruising, but these effects generally subside within a few days to a week. You may need to wear a compression garment to support the treated area during healing.
Results can be seen immediately and will continue to improve over the next 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases.
