Are you looking to transform your appearance by addressing loose, sagging skin? At The Menkes Clinic, our experienced providers offer Renuvion, a state-of-the-art treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful, toned appearance without major surgery.
What is Renuvion?
Renuvion is a body contouring treatment that effectively addresses loose, sagging skin throughout the body. When you've lost significant weight or undergone liposuction, excess skin often remains, masking your hard-earned results.
Renuvion specifically targets this loose skin, enhancing your overall silhouette and appearance with a single treatment. It works to tighten and firm skin in areas including the face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, back, and legs.
Renuvion can also lessen the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while maintaining natural-looking results and enhancing skin texture.
How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium to create a tissue-tightening effect. During treatment, your dermatologist delivers controlled cold plasma energy beneath your skin.
This energy forms when helium gas meets radiofrequency waves, creating a unique thermal effect. The process causes immediate collagen contraction while keeping the skin's surface cool, resulting in tissue tightening with minimal damage to surrounding areas.
This also triggers your body's natural collagen production, leading to continued skin improvements over time.
Who is a Good Candidate for Renuvion?
Renuvion offers a minimally invasive option for addressing sagging skin, but it isn't suitable for everyone. The best candidates for Renuvion typically:
- Are in good overall health
- Are close to their target weight
- Experience mild to moderate skin laxity in the face, neck, or body
- Have realistic expectations about potential outcomes
During your consultation at The Menkes Clinic, our providers will evaluate your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine the areas you're concerned about to determine if Renuvion is right for you.
What to Expect During Your Renuvion Treatment?
Your provider will begin the Renuvion procedure by creating small incisions to insert a specialized cannula. Radiofrequency energy transforms the helium gas going through the cannula into a precise stream of cold plasma.
This energy immediately tightens existing collagen while stimulating new collagen production. Many patients choose to combine Renuvion with liposuction or other body contouring procedures for enhanced results.
Renuvion treatment typically extends a standard liposuction procedure by approximately 15 minutes per treated area and can take around an hour when performed on its own. The treatment can be done with either general or local anesthesia based on your needs and comfort level.
What is Recovery Like after Renuvion?
Recovery following Renuvion varies depending on treatment extent and anesthesia type. You may need anywhere from several days to a few weeks for complete recovery.
During this time, you may experience temporary redness, skin flaking, and swelling in treated areas. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal, comfortable healing.
How Long Do the Results of Renuvion Last?
Results vary from person to person, but many patients enjoy their Renuvion results for years. However, complete results typically develop over six to nine months as your body generates new collagen.
As your skin's collagen production increases in response to treatment, you'll notice progressive improvements in the months following your procedure. While Renuvion delivers long-lasting results, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your outcome.
