Renuvion Skin Tightening at Contoura Medical: Non-Surgical Skin LiftRenuvion
Advanced Skin Tightening & Contouring
Renuvion is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a blend of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma (often called “helium-plasma RF”) to tighten loose skin and improve body or facial contours — with far less downtime and scarring than traditional surgery.
Why Renuvion Might Be Right for You
If you have loose or lax skin — after weight loss, pregnancy, age-related sagging, or previous liposuction — on areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, jawline or under the chin.
If you want skin tightening with minimal incisions, minimal scarring, and faster recovery compared to abdominoplasty, arm-lift or surgical skin excision.
If you prefer a procedure that can be combined with fat removal (liposuction) when needed — to contour and tighten simultaneously.
What Happens During the Treatment
1. Minimal Access
A thin probe is inserted beneath the skin through a small entry-point (usually the size of a pen tip).
2. Plasma & RF Delivery
The device delivers a controlled stream of RF energy plus helium plasma beneath the surface — the heat causes collagen fibres to contract immediately.
3. Immediate Contraction
This process “shrink-wraps” the skin and underlying connective tissue — giving a tighter, firmer appearance while preserving the skin’s surface.
Recovery & What to Expect
Because Renuvion is minimally invasive, downtime is typically modest. Many patients return to light daily activities within a few days.
Common post-treatment effects include mild swelling, bruising, light discomfort or temporary skin sensitivity — usually resolving within a week or two.
If combined with liposuction or used on larger body areas, recovery may be somewhat longer and may involve wearing a compression garment to support healing and optimal skin retraction.
Timeline & Longevity
Many patients notice initial skin tightening immediately after the procedure — or within a few days.
Over the next 1–3 months, as new collagen forms and tissues remodel, the contour, firmness and tightness generally improve further. Full results often emerge over 3–6 months.
Results tend to be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy skin care habits.
Suitability & Considerations
Good Candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity — for example loose skin on abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, jawline, or after weight loss/pregnancy but without large folds.
- Are at a stable, healthy weight (or near your “goal” weight).
- Want skin tightening (improved firmness, smoother, tighter skin), rather than large-volume fat removal.
- Prefer a minimally invasive option (tiny incisions, minimal scarring, less downtime) over a full surgical excisional procedure.
Renuvion may not be ideal if you:
- Have large volumes of redundant skin / deep folds or very loose skin (e.g. after massive weight loss).
- Expect dramatic “lift” or removal of excess skin comparable to a body-lift (which requires excision).
- Are unable/unwilling to follow aftercare instructions, especially the use of compression garments.
- Should understand that Renuvion is a skin tightening treatment, not a primary fat removal procedure.
