FAQs

How long do Renuvion results last? ›

The skin tightening effects can continue to improve for up to 6 to 9 months after the procedure as collagen production increases, with results potentially lasting for several years. However, the longevity of results can be influenced by factors such as age, lifestyle, and skin care. How long does Renuvion take?

How painful is Renuvion? The Renuvion procedure is performed under local and tumescent anesthesia with oral medication supplementation and in minimally painful during or immediately after the procedure. The area may be swollen for several days after the treatment.

Most patients enjoy their Renuvion results for up to 5 years or longer, depending on their skin health. Only one session is needed to achieve youthful-looking and long-lasting results from Renuvion.

Tightening up loose skin for your dream aesthetic

Offering immediate results with even more amazing long-term results, Renuvion is a great option for both men and women who are looking for truly fantastic results, whether used on its own or in combination with other lift procedures.

For the first time in modern history, loose skin can be tightened and firmed in a meaningful way without requiring excisional surgery such as a tummy tuck. Although Renuvion J-Plasma is not a replacement for a tummy tuck procedure, it has been shown in studies to provide skin tightening up to 50% compared to excision.

Typically no, Renuvion will not leave noticeable scars. Of course, results may vary. If you have visible loose skin you would like to tighten but are concerned about scarring, Renuvion is certainly a preferable procedure compared to skin removal with tummy tuck surgery, breast lift surgery, or similar procedures.

Renuvion and Little Liposuction don't require general anesthesia. The combined procedure can be performed under local anesthesia as well. You should discuss your situation with your surgeon during the initial consultation. The surgeon will recommend the right anesthesia for the procedure.

If you have minor skin sagging issues, Renuvion can be a minimally invasive, pain-free treatment option that comes with minimal recovery time. While it is not adequate for every patient, in many cases it can leave your skin looking smoother and firmer, improving your self-esteem in the process.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to get rid of stubborn fat and improve loose skin in those areas at the same time, then J-Plasma lipo might be the right procedure for you. You'll be able to optimize liposuction by improving the look and quality of your skin for smooth, contoured results.

Is Renuvion skin tightening permanent? ›

Once established, Renuvion® results are long-lasting, with many people seeing years of improvement with a single treatment. Many factors affect how long your results last. Each person's skin loses collagen at a different rate due to factors like genetics, sun exposure, and overall health.

For the majority of patients, Renuvion recovery times are usually around one to three weeks. During this time, you will definitely need to take it easy and refrain from certain activities. But, in general, you will be able to return to work and your normal activities during this time.

How painful is Renuvion? Facial Renuvion, a minimally invasive procedure, causes mild discomfort for most patients. Local anesthesia or numbing agents are applied for a comfortable experience.

Ultrasound skin tightening

Treatments are delivered via a handheld device, which transmits the ultrasound waves through the skin's surface. Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for many decades, and ultrasound skin tightening has an excellent safety profile.

According to the release, the FDA has received reports describing serious adverse events (SAEs) when the device is used directly on the skin and potentially life-threatening AEs when it was used under the skin.

Renuvion requires just a single session for excellent results. You may also choose to have additional treatments every few years to maintain your results.

If you have excess skin you'd like to get rid of or are considering liposuction for fat removal, Renuvion may be the solution for you. Not only can Renuvion tighten skin alongside liposuction, but it can shrink loose skin on its own as well — without resulting in large scars.

Both BodyTite and Renuvion use small wand shaped devices that deliver radiofrequency waves to heat the treatment area, melting fat deposits and contracting the skin. To do so, both procedures involve the insertion of the hand piece underneath the skin via a small incision in the treatment area.
