Renuvion Skin Tightening

A Guide to Renuvion® Skin Tightening

Renuvion®, also known as J-Plasma®, is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed for noticeable skin and soft tissue contraction. This technology combines helium plasma with radiofrequency (RF) energy to quickly heat the tissue to the ideal temperature for collagen remodeling, resulting in firmer, tighter skin.


With just a single treatment, Renuvion® can help reverse signs of aging by addressing loose skin from weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging. It is a versatile procedure that can be used on the face, neck, and body. This treatment can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other treatments like liposuction.


Common treatment areas include:

  • Jawline and Neck

  • Décolletage

  • Arms and Armpits

  • Breasts and Bra Rolls

  • Abdomen, Flanks, and Back

  • Buttocks, Thighs, and Knees


Who Is a Good Candidate for Renuvion®?

The best candidates for Renuvion® are healthy individuals with realistic expectations. It is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive surgical procedures. For your safety, we recommend that patients are non-smokers or have quit smoking at least one month prior to the procedure. During your consultation, we will review your medical history to ensure this is a suitable option for you.


How Is the Renuvion® Treatment Performed?

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and goals.

  • Anesthesia: Depending on the extent of the treatment, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, monitored anesthesia care, or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

  • Procedure: Through a small, discreet incision, a thin cannula is inserted beneath the skin. The Renuvion® device delivers a controlled stream of helium plasma and RF energy, heating the underlying collagen and connective tissues to the precise temperature needed for optimal contraction. The surrounding tissue is cooled in less than a second, ensuring a safe and efficient treatment.


What Is Recovery Like?

The recovery process for Renuvion® depends on the extent of your procedure.

  • Standalone Treatment: When performed as a standalone procedure on smaller areas (like the neck, jawline, or knees), downtime is minimal. Most patients can return to light work and normal activities the next day.

  • Combined with Liposuction: If combined with a more extensive procedure like liposuction, recovery is similar, typically lasting one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first week and should resolve within two weeks.


You will be required to wear a compression garment to support the healing process and minimize swelling. Because helium gas is used, you may notice some air trapped under the skin, but this typically resolves within a few days.


Renuvion® vs. Traditional Surgery

While more invasive procedures like a neck lift or abdominoplasty can produce dramatic results, they also require significant downtime and leave permanent scars. Renuvion® offers a proven, effective, and minimally invasive alternative. While the final results take months to fully develop, many patients prefer this advanced technique for its reduced scarring, lower risk of major complications, and significantly shorter recovery time.
