Renuvion Skin Tightening treatment is an incredibly innovative procedure that allows you to tighten the skin with little downtime, small incisions, and very little discomfort.
What is Renuvion Skin Tightening?
Renuvion Skin Tightening is a minimally invasive procedure that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy (RF energy) to stimulate collagen production and contract tissues beneath the skin’s surface in the deeper epidermal layers. Collagen is a protein that aids in skin elasticity, giving it a firm texture and youthful appearance. Aging skin gradually loses elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and textural irregularities. Renuvion delivers helium plasma and the RF energy under the skin through a tiny incision using a wand device that provides even and continuous heat to the soft tissues.
This treatment can work in the following areas:
- Upper face
- Lower face and neck
- Thighs
- Arms
- Knees
- Buttocks
- Abdomen
Who is a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?
Renuvion Skin Tightening can be a great option for a number of different people. If you’re wondering if Renuvion is right for you, take a look at some of the qualifications that make someone a good candidate:
- Those experiencing mild to moderately loose skin (skin laxity)
- Anyone who doesn’t want to undergo a cosmetic surgery
- Anyone who is a non-smoker and in generally good health
- Patients interested in liposuction but are worried about having loose skin after the procedure
- Adults over the age of 18
- Those with realistic expectations
- Those who are not pregnant or breastfeeding
At your initial consultation with Dr. Andrews, he will examine your medical history and discuss the skin conditions you hope to address to determine whether Renuvion can safely achieve your desired results. Patients with more significant amounts of skin sagging may be better suited for a surgical procedure like the facelift or body lift.

MEET DR. ANDREWSThe Renuvion Procedure
As with most cosmetic procedures, anesthesia is administered before anything occurs. Because this is a minimally invasive treatment, local anesthetic is often used instead of general anesthesia. Once that kicks in, Dr. Andrews will make a small incision in the treatment area and then insert the Renuvion wand into that incision. The plasma energy is then applied directly to the deeper layers of the skin and soft tissues, heating up the area and tightening the skin from within. The helium gas will also be emitted to cool the tissue, providing controlled heat so you never have to worry about burning.
After the treatment and in the weeks following it, your skin will continue to produce collagen, providing further improvements.
Aftercare
After your procedure, you can expect to feel some mild discomfort. temporary redness, and mild swelling. That swelling can last for a few weeks after treatment. You’ll be given a compression garment to wear for the first 72 hours.
As for going back to your normal routine, there is minimal downtime but you’ll want to limit your activities and rest for the first week after Renuvion treatment. You can return to week during the second week of recovery, and Dr. Andrews will likely clear you for all your normal activities after three weeks.
