Renuvion is the #1 trusted body contouring technology by surgeons. It is the only device that is FDA cleared for use after liposuction, and FDA cleared for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue.
As we age, lose weight, or go through pregnancy, our skin often becomes loose and saggy due to decreased collagen and elastin production, which reduces elasticity and firmness. Rapid weight loss and pregnancy stretch the skin beyond its ability to retract, further contributing to sagging. The combined effect of these factors leads to a less resilient skin surface that struggles to maintain its shape.
While we can’t stop the aging process, energy devices like Renuvion offer a solution by contracting soft tissues and initiating the long-lasting collagen rebuilding process known as neocollagenesis. Renuvion goes beneath the surface and addresses the problem of loose skin directly at the source.
Once you have confirmed your treatment plan with your physician, you will under either a local or general anesthetic to manage comfort.
After making small incision points, your physician will insert the Renuvion wand to deliver a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue that’s a primary cause of loose skin. This energy contracts collagen fibers and pulls the skin down, closer to the muscle, resulting in a more contoured appearance.
The duration of the treatment depends on your personalized plan discussed with your physician, but generally, Renuvion adds only about 15 minutes per site.
Q. What is Renuvion?
A. Renuvion is the #1 trusted body contouring technology by surgeons. It is the only device that is FDA cleared for use after liposuction, and FDA cleared for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue.
Q. How does the technology work?
A. The wand is inserted under the skin and delivers a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue that’s a primary cause of loose skin.

Q. What is body contouring?
A. Body contouring, also known as body shaping, is a procedure that improves body shape by addressing excess fat and sagging skin. For example, after significant weight loss or liposuction, loose skin can make it hard to appreciate the results. Renuvion helps by targeting loose skin directly, improving the overall contour and appearance.
Q. Why is Renuvion used after Liposuction?
A. During liposuction, fat cells are removed exposing the collagen network that makes up the connective tissue beneath the surface of the skin. Due to this space created between the skin and the muscle from the removal of fat, this allows Renuvion to function at its maximum potential delivering a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue that’s a primary cause of loose skin. This energy contracts these collagen fibers and pulls the skin down, closer to the muscle, for a more contoured appearance, ultimately taking liposuction results to the next level.
Q. Do you need to be under anesthesia for the procedure?
