Skin Tightening

Individuals seek skin tightening with Renuvion because it offers a highly effective, minimally invasive solution for skin tightening and body contouring without the need for extensive surgery or long recovery times. Renuvion uses advanced plasma energy technology to target and tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness. For individuals who want a slimmer contour, but are not seeking cosmetic surgery, skin tightening with Dr. Rolando Morales may be an ideal solution.

What Is Skin Tightening?

Skin tightening refers to a range of treatments designed to firm and tighten loose or sagging skin. These treatments typically use technologies like radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound, or lasers to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Innovative treatments like Renuvion use a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma to tighten skin. 

Results from skin tightening offer individuals a smoother, more youthful appearance as the skin becomes firmer and more elastic over time.

How Does Renuvion Work?

Renuvion is an advanced skin tightening technology that uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to contract and tighten collagen-rich tissues beneath the skin. Renuvion is made by Apyx® Medical, a leader in advanced energy solutions, trusted by doctors worldwide for its innovative helium plasma technology and proven, long-lasting results in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.

This system is commonly used to treat areas with loose skin caused by aging or weight loss. The Renuvion device delivers controlled heat to the subdermal layers of the skin, causing the collagen fibers to contract and tighten. This leads to a smoother, more contoured appearance.

The procedure involves inserting a small wand beneath the skin, which emits helium plasma and RF energy to target the tissues directly. This innovative approach allows for precise and effective tightening without the need for invasive surgery. Renuvion can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs, providing long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

Common Treatment Areas & Benefits

Renuvion can be used on a variety of areas across the face, neck, and body to tighten loose skin and improve overall contour. Its precision allows it to treat both small, delicate areas like the face and larger areas on the body, making it a versatile option. Common treatment areas include:

Face

Renuvion can help tighten sagging skin around the jawline, cheeks, and under the eyes, giving the face a more youthful appearance.

Neck

It effectively tightens loose skin in the neck area, reducing the appearance of a “turkey neck” and creating a smoother neckline.

Body

Renuvion is commonly used on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and flanks to improve skin laxity caused by aging, weight loss, or other factors.

What To Expect During & After Treatment

Renuvion works by delivering a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to the collagen-rich tissues beneath the skin. This energy causes the collagen fibers to contract, resulting in tighter, firmer skin. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves inserting a thin wand under the skin, which releases controlled bursts of plasma and RF energy. This process not only tightens the skin but also stimulates collagen production for ongoing improvements over time.

Renuvion can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the areas being treated.

FAQS

Renuvion results are long-lasting, with many patients seeing improvements for years. The procedure stimulates collagen production, which continues to improve skin tightness over time. However, factors like aging and lifestyle can influence how long the results last.

Yes, Renuvion is FDA-cleared and considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon. It is minimally invasive, and the controlled energy delivery minimizes risks, with most patients experiencing minimal side effects like mild swelling or redness.

Patients typically notice some initial skin tightening immediately after the procedure, but the full results develop over several months as collagen continues to rebuild and firm the skin.

Most patients only require one Renuvion treatment to achieve significant results, but the need for additional sessions can depend on the individual's skin condition and aesthetic goals, which can be discussed during the consultation.

Renuvion typically results in minimal scarring because the procedure is performed using small incisions or entry points through which the device is inserted. Dr. Morales takes great care in ensuring incisions are made in inconspicuous locations to optimize results and minimize any potential scars.
