Loose skin poses a significant problem for many patients, especially because many are under the impression that the only solution is surgery. But for those who have lost skin elasticity or have experienced rapid weight fluctuations, Renuvion® offers a minimally invasive, low-risk remedy that is quite effective for milder cases of loose skin.
Through a combination of radiofrequency and helium plasma technologies, Renuvion® provides skin tightening and long-term body contouring results in one remarkable procedure. Results take about three to four months to finalize after treatment.
What Is Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that can be applied nearly anywhere on the body. The Renuvion® probe is about the same size as a small liposuction cannula. As the probe passes through the tissues, radiofrequency (RF) energy is emitted from the tip. The energy briefly heats the surrounding tissue, causing tissue contraction, which reduces laxity. A built-in energy meter helps to ensure the correct dose of RF energy for each area treated.
Renuvion® can target loose skin in multiple areas of the body, including:
- Neck
- Under the chin
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Back
Am I a Candidate for Renuvion®?
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, have experienced recent hormonal changes, are postpartum, or are experiencing changes with aging, you may be a candidate for Renuvion®.
While impressive, it is not as effective as traditional surgery in terms of tightening. Renuvion® is a good option for people who have mild to moderate laxity and who wish to avoid the incisional scars that come with tummy tucks and arm or thigh lifts. For severe laxity, traditional surgery is still the way to go.
Good candidates for Renuvion® are also generally in good health, have realistic expectations for results, and are nonsmokers.
To find out if you’re a candidate and to discuss your options, schedule a consultation with Dr. Fiala today.
What Is Recovery From Renuvion® Like?
After your treatment, you may experience some mild swelling and some minor bruising at the incision site. Depending on your treatment location, you may be given a compression garment to aid in healing and to help the skin contract.
Dr. Fiala will provide you with specific recovery instructions unique to your treatment plan, especially if you have combined Renuvion® with any other procedures. Most patients can return to daily activities within one to three days.
What Results Can I Expect From Renuvion® Treatments?
Patients will notice an improvement in skin laxity after their Renuvion® procedure, although final results can take several months to appear, as the collagen-boosting effects take more time to build up in the body. As swelling resolves and collagen starts to be produced, you’ll notice the stunning body contouring results.
What Procedures Can Be Combined With Renuvion® Treatments?
Renuvion® can be performed alone or as a complement to other body contouring procedures. A popular combo option is with liposuction, as Renuvion® can be used to promote skin tightening immediately after the procedure, along with boosting collagen production to improve results. Dr. Fiala likes to use Renuvion® after liposuction (during the same anesthesia) for people who already have some obvious skin laxity prior to their liposuction procedure.
How Much Does Renuvion® Cost in Orlando, FL?
The cost of Renuvion® skin tightening treatments depends on the size and location of the treatment area and whether you have combined treatments. Dr. Fiala will create a custom treatment plan once you meet with him for a consultation, after which he will provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
