Life changes such as weight loss, pregnancy, or fat reduction surgery like liposuction can sometimes lead to sagging skin. At AvantBlue Aesthetics in Saint James, Barbados, loose skin is a concern that we can treat with Renuvion J-Plasma.
Renuvion offers an innovative solution for those dealing with sagging skin. This treatment can help tighten and rejuvenate the skin both on its own and as part of liposuction surgery. It’s an option worth considering for those looking to address skin laxity effectively and with minimal downtime.
Renuvion is an FDA-cleared device that can be used to tighten skin, providing contouring for areas such as the abdomen or thighs and offering textural improvements for the skin in the body and the face. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can tighten the skin without a lot of downtime.
Renuvion works through a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma. This energy is delivered into the subcutaneous tissue using a wand that is inserted into a small incision. Once the wand is under the skin, the energy immediately contracts existing collagen fibers, tightening the skin and causing it to pull down closer to the muscle. Over time, the treatment also stimulates collagen production, which can result in even more skin tightening effects in the months after treatment.
Incorporating Renuvion with liposuction can enhance your body contouring results after surgery. When fat is removed from an area, the skin isn’t always able to contract fully, which can lead to loose skin in the treatment area. Combining liposuction with Renuvion allows your skin to contract to match your new body contours, refining your silhouette even further.
For individuals not requiring fat removal but seeking improvements in skin laxity, Renuvion is an effective standalone body sculpting option. It can be helpful for patients who have lost weight and have areas of loose skin or for patients who have loose skin from a pregnancy. It can be used in many areas of the body to smooth skin and improve contours.
When undergoing a Renuvion treatment, local anesthesia is often used to ensure comfort. The treatment involves making small, discreet incisions, just a few millimeters in length, through which the Renuvion device is inserted. Patients might feel a sensation of warmth but should experience minimal discomfort due to the anesthesia. Generally, sutures are not required for the tiny incisions, which are designed to heal quickly and with no noticeable scarring.
Renuvion can be suitable for stomach skin tightening, neck skin tightening, and face skin tightening, addressing concerns in areas commonly affected by laxity and aging. It can also be perfect for upper arms, thighs, or anywhere else where you want improvements.
A typical skin tightening treatment with Renuvion J-Plasma can vary, usually lasting between 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the size and number of areas treated and whether you are also having liposuction performed. We keep the procedure as streamlined as possible while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Post-treatment, there is minimal downtime associated with Renuvion. Patients often return to their normal activities within a few days, although this can vary based on the treatment’s extent and the individual’s healing process. It’s important to follow post-procedure care instructions to optimize recovery.
Improvements from Renuvion J-Plasma can be noticed shortly after the procedure, with the full skin tightening effects typically developing over several months. By six months, you should be able to enjoy all of the benefits of the treatment.
The results of Renuvion J-Plasma can be long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. The skin in the area will continue to age over time, so some patients choose to have additional treatments after several years to maintain the results.
Individuals looking for effective body contouring and skin tightening without extensive surgery are good candidates for Renuvion J-Plasma. Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate skin laxity who seek noticeable improvements without a lengthy recovery period. During your consultation appointment, we will spend time talking about your medical history and other factors to make sure you are a good candidate for the treatment.
