Introducing Renuvion by Apyx Medical
Renuvion is an innovative skin tightening treatment that draws on the power of helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to reduce wrinkles, lift loose skin, and restore your youthful, lifted appearance. The innovation in cosmetic medicine offers excellent results without surgery and its associated downtime, recovery time, or risk of complications.
How Does Renuvion Skin Tightening Work?
Renuvion uses a unique combination of cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to turn back the hands of time and res
tore your youthful contours. The following is a look at what you can expect:
- Plasma Generation: The Renuvion device energizes helium gas with RF waves. This process creates a precise stream of low-current, cold plasma. Helium can be easily converted to plasma at relatively low energy levels and is known for its cooling properties.
- Heating and Contraction: The plasma energy is delivered through a thin wand or cannula inserted beneath the skin. The plasma energy rapidly heats the targeted tissues, contracting and tightening collagen fibers right under the skin’s surface, effectively tightening and lifting the skin.
- Controlled Cooling: The flow of helium gas helps rapidly cool the treated area, minimizing thermal damage to the tissues surrounding the treatment area and the skin’s surface. Renuvion’s precise dual heating and cooling action allows for effective tightening and lifting with a lower risk of injury compared to other energy devices.
- Collagen Stimulation (Neocollagenesis): Beyond the immediate contraction of collagen fibers, the controlled thermal effect of Renuvion helps stimulate new collagen production over the following months, further improving skin firmness, thickness, and elasticity over time.
Who Is a Candidate for Renuvion?
Candidates for Renuvion Skin Tightening include the following:
- Candidates are women and men with mild to moderate skin laxity wanting to lift, tighten, and tone without surgery and the associated discomfort, downtime, and lengthy recovery.
- Renuvion can be ideal for individuals wanting to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles and improve their overall skin texture, achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
- The revolutionary technology can be helpful for patients wanting to tighten loose and sagging skin on the face, jowls, neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, back, hips, knees, buttocks, legs, or other areas.
- Candidates for Renuvion are those seeking improvement in specific areas, such as tightening crepey skin on the upper arms, defining the jawline for a more sculpted look, or reducing skin laxity after liposuction to achieve smoother contours.
Our experienced providers at MD Brothers will evaluate your unique needs and help you determine whether skin tightening with Renuvion is right for you.
What Is the Renuvion Procedure?
The Renuvion process is personalized to your unique needs. The following is a look at what you may expect:
- Initial Consultation: The rewarding journey to a more youthful you begins with a consultation with one of our acclaimed cosmetic surgeons. We will assess your needs, discuss your goals, and help you determine whether Renuvion is right for you.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: We will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We will also explain the procedure in detail so you know what you can expect.
- Numbing the Area: Treatment is typically performed under a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during your transformation. We never spare any effort to ensure you have the best possible patient experience.
- Your Transformation: Our experienced surgeon will make tiny incisions in the treatment area to insert the Renuvion device beneath your skin. Next, he will administer a precise combination of (RF) energy and helium plasma beneath the skin’s surface to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the underlying tissues.
- Compression: We will monitor you after your procedure for your safety. You will need to wear a compression garment for at least 24 hours to help reduce swelling and support your skin as it tightens from within.
What Can You Expect After Treatment?
You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort in the treatment areas, which usually subside in the following week. Renuvion treatment requires minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities within a week or two. Make sure to follow the post-operative instructions we provide to promote healing and recovery.
You may see noticeable skin tightening soon after treatment, with some immediate improvement that continues to unfold over the following months as the new collagen production and tissue remodeling continue. You’ll be amazed at how much smoother, tighter, and more youthful your skin appears.
Combining Renuvion with Other Cosmetic Procedures
Renuvion is often used as a standalone procedure for areas needing skin tightening, like the face, neck, arms, and thighs. It is also ideal for use in combination with other cosmetic procedures, such as surgical liposuction or tummy tucks. The revolutionary treatment can significantly enhance your body contouring results by lifting and tightening the skin after fat removal or tissue positioning. Our experienced providers will recommend one or a combination of procedures to deliver your desired treatment outcomes.
What Are the Advantages of Renuvion?
Renuvion offers numerous benefits, including the following:
- Renuvion treatment is minimally invasive, delivering dramatic results without the discomfort, downtime, and risk of complications associated with surgical lifts.
- The innovative treatment stimulates collagen production in the treatment area without damage to the surrounding tissues.
- The procedure is cost-effective compared to cosmetic surgery, with the hospital fees, anesthesia, and post-operative expenses.
- Renuvion treats virtually any area on the face or body, offering a versatile solution for fine-tuning areas with loose or sagging skin.
- The anti-aging treatment stimulates collagen production, improving skin tightness and elasticity, with results lasting for many years with proper skin care and sun protection.
