Skin Tightening Treatment with Renuvion

How is Renuvion Skin Tightening Different from Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Skin tightening with Renuvion is an excellent alternative to traditional tightening treatments such as facelifts, body lifts, mini tucks, and arm lifts, as it is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Surgical procedures can be painful and expensive with long recovery periods. Plus, the results last for up to five years after the procedure. Renuvion is ideal for those who want a less painful solution for sagging skin. However, it should be noted that Renuvion works best on those who have mildly saggy or stretched skin.

What Can I Expect During a Skin Tightening Procedure with Renuvion?

Renuvion is a minimally invasive treatment for mild to moderate tissue laxity. Treatment is very controlled and comfortable compared to more involved surgical procedures. During the procedure, a thin wand is inserted just beneath the skin in the target area in a method similar to liposuction. At Profile MD, we generally opt to use a numbing local anesthetic rather than putting the patient to sleep (general anesthesia) during the procedure. This is because there are significantly fewer risks involved with local anesthesia. However, in some cases, general anesthesia is required. For example, if you are treating multiple areas at once or combining Renuvion with other procedures, the doctor may recommend that you be asleep during the procedure. Generally, skin tightening with Renuvion is relatively quick and painless.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Renuvion?

The best candidates for skin tightening with Renuvion have mild to moderately drooping skin in the areas they wish to treat. Some of the most successful treatment areas include the cheeks, jowls, and neck. It is important to note that individuals with excess skin from weight loss are not appropriate candidates for this procedure. Therefore, if you’re looking to add life back to your mild or moderately saggy skin, aren’t interested in surgery, and have high skin elasticity Renuvion is an excellent and effective option.

What Treatment Areas Does Renuvion Target?

Renuvion is used to treat sagging or stretched skin in the following areas:

• Upper Arms
• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Above the Knees
• Neck
• Jowls
• Buttocks

Can I Combine Skin Tightening With Other Procedures?

Renuvion Skin Tightening can be performed alongside liposuction to yield a more noticeable result and to increase body contouring and slimming. Combining the two procedures eliminates localized pockets of fat while also tightening the skin. Renuvion coupled with liposuction is an excellent alternative to invasive surgical procedures including:

• Mini tuck
• Arm lift
• Body contouring surgery
• Neck rejuvenation

What Are the Benefits of Renuvion?

Renuvion produces noticeable results that often rival surgical procedures. Some benefits include:

• A reduction of mild to moderate skin laxity
• An alternative to surgical procedures
• Quick recovery time
• Good cosmetic results

What Results Can I Expect from Renuvion Skin Tightening Treatments?

Patients will notice tighter skin and a more sculpted figure immediately after treatment. However, full results will be visible within three to six months as the support structure of collagen builds. Results will last up to five years or longer depending on your skin’s age, elasticity, and condition.

How Long is Recovery After Renuvion?

You will need to allow yourself two to five days to recover after the procedure. Following treatment, you will experience a few days of soreness in the treated areas. You can also expect to see some bruising and swelling in the treated areas. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for a few days after the procedure. Our surgical team will prescribe a compressive garment to aid and to produce best results. Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be used to help control any discomfort you may experience. Most people are able to drive following treatment. However, anyone receiving general anesthesia must have a driver transport them home, and they should not operate a vehicle for 24 hours after the procedure.

Potential Side Effects of Renuvion Skin Tightening Treatment

There are some risks associated with Renuvion, however they are rare. These include:

• Mild bruising and swelling
• Scarring
• Potential for infection
• Development of seroma, an accumulation of lymphatic fluid
• Undesired results
