What is Renuvion?
Renuvion—also referred to as J-Plasma®—is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy and helium gas to generate cold plasma. This energy is precisely delivered beneath the skin’s surface to heat and contract the soft tissue while cooling the epidermis in real time. This controlled Dual Thermal Effect™ creates immediate tissue contraction and initiates long-term collagen remodeling for a firmer, more youthful appearance1. Unlike traditional plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or tummy tuck, Renuvion achieves visible results with far less downtime and no large surgical scars.
How Renuvion Tightens Skin
The proprietary technology behind Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy energized by helium gas to produce a cold plasma stream. This energy is introduced beneath the skin via small incisions and a thin cannula, delivering heat to the deeper soft tissues while preserving the surface. The result is contraction of subdermal collagen and elastin fibers along with stimulation of new collagen production over time2. Patients typically see improvement soon after treatment, with results continuing to develop for several months as the body heals.
Benefits of Renuvion Skin Tightening
Patients in Miami choose Renuvion for its combination of safety, precision, and effectiveness. Key benefits include:
- Tightens loose skin on the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and more
- Minimally invasive with small incisions and less scarring
- Minimal downtime compared to traditional surgery
- Immediate results with ongoing improvements as collagen builds
- Can be combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring
Combining Renuvion with Liposuction
Renuvion is frequently paired with liposuction to treat both excess fat and skin laxity in one comprehensive procedure. While liposuction removes unwanted fat from targeted areas, Renuvion works to firm and tighten the overlying skin. This synergistic approach is ideal for the abdomen, upper arms, flanks, thighs, and under the chin—delivering smoother, sculpted contours in a single treatment plan.
What Areas of the Body Can Renuvion Treat?
Renuvion is a versatile skin tightening procedure that can be used to address mild to moderate skin laxity in multiple areas across the face and body. Its precision and minimally invasive nature make it ideal for refining contours and enhancing skin tone in the following regions:
- Face & Neck: Jawline, cheeks, lower face, and under the chin to reduce jowling and sagging.
- Upper Arms: Commonly used to improve the appearance of loose skin on the underside of the arms.
- Abdomen: Targets laxity in the lower and upper abdomen, including post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss skin.
- Chest: Often used in conjunction with gynecomastia surgery to tighten residual skin in men with mild to moderate laxity.
- Flanks & Back: Helps contour areas around the waist, bra line, and lower back where skin may fold or droop.
- Thighs: Treats both inner and outer thighs to enhance definition and firmness.
- Knees: Firms the skin around the knees, a common area of age-related sagging.
Whether used alone or in combination with liposuction, Renuvion allows for targeted treatment with minimal scarring and downtime, making it an excellent choice for patients who want surgical-level results without extensive recovery.
Who is a Candidate for Renuvion?
Ideal candidates for Renuvion skin tightening are healthy non-smokers who want to improve mild to moderate skin laxity without undergoing a more invasive procedure. It’s an excellent option for individuals with sagging skin after pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural aging process. Renuvion may also be recommended for patients undergoing liposuction who wish to minimize the risk of post-procedure skin laxity.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Before your Renuvion procedure, Dr. Roudner will review your health history and cosmetic goals, and provide a detailed pre-treatment plan. You may be asked to:
- Stop smoking and avoid alcohol
- Discontinue certain medications or supplements
- Arrange transportation if sedation or anesthesia is used
These steps help reduce risks and optimize healing and outcomes.
What to Expect During the Renuvion Procedure
The Renuvion J-Plasma procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the treatment area. A small cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to deliver helium plasma energy directly beneath the skin. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes per area. Patients can often return home the same day.
Recovery & Results
Recovery time after Renuvion is generally brief, though some swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected. A compression garment is recommended for 4–6 weeks to support healing and skin contraction. Visible results may appear within the first few weeks, with continued improvements over 6 to 9 months as collagen rebuilds and the skin firms naturally.3
