Renuvion Skin Tightening Package

The Renuvion package adds radiofrequency and helium plasma energy to a liposuction session to tighten loose skin left behind after fat removal or major weight loss — it's an add-on alongside liposuction, not a standalone fat-reduction or weight-loss treatment.

What the Renuvion Package Adds to Liposuction

Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas delivered as plasma, reaching the temperature that triggers collagen contraction — around 85°C — in roughly 0.04 seconds, while the helium keeps the surrounding tissue well below that level, which is designed to limit heat-related injury to nearby tissue. Unlike a laser, which mainly heats the surface of the skin, this energy is delivered to the underside of the skin, targeting the subcutaneous layer more directly. It's applied through the same small incisions used for liposuction, so it isn't a separate surgery with its own set of scars — it's layered onto a liposuction session for patients whose skin has lost some elasticity, most often after fat removal or significant weight loss.

Is This Right for You?

Loose skin left over after liposuction or major weight loss that bothers you
Feeling that laser skin-tightening alone wouldn't be enough, while a full facelift or body lift feels like more than you're looking for
Wanting fat reduction and skin tightening addressed in one session rather than two separate procedures
Skin laxity that's moderate rather than severe — very loose skin after major weight loss is usually a case for a skin-excision procedure, which your surgeon will raise if that applies to you

Your Treatment Process

01
Consultation & Assessment
Your surgeon evaluates skin, muscle, and fat anatomy together to judge how much laxity is actually present and whether tightening alone is a realistic goal, or whether a lift or skin-excision procedure should be part of the conversation instead.
02
Liposuction
Fat is removed from the target area through small incisions, the same first step as a standalone liposuction procedure.
03
Renuvion Application
Through those same incisions, a handpiece sized to the area — a shorter, finer one for the face and more sensitive areas, longer ones for the body — delivers radiofrequency and helium plasma energy to the underside of the skin to trigger collagen contraction.
04
Recovery & Follow-up
Follow-up visits track how swelling resolves and how the skin is responding over the following weeks.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery broadly follows the liposuction it's combined with, and visible tightening typically continues to improve gradually over the following weeks as swelling resolves. Your surgeon will give you a timeline specific to the areas you've had treated.

Safety & Risks

As an energy-based device, the main safety consideration is heat-related tissue injury, which the helium gas is designed to help limit by keeping tissue outside the target zone at a lower temperature. Beyond that, reported complications generally follow standard liposuction risks — bruising and swelling in the treated area. Direct comparative research between radiofrequency-assisted devices and standard liposuction is still fairly limited, so it's worth asking your surgeon what's actually been studied for a given device rather than focusing on the device name alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Renuvion the same as a facelift?

No. A facelift surgically repositions and removes excess skin and tissue, while Renuvion uses energy to tighten skin from underneath without removing it. If skin laxity is severe, Renuvion alone is unlikely to achieve what a lift can, and your surgeon will tell you if that's the case for you.

Will Renuvion alone fix skin that's very loose after major weight loss?

Not necessarily. If you've lost a substantial amount of weight and skin has stretched significantly, a skin-excision procedure is usually the more central approach, since liposuction and tightening devices don't remove excess skin itself. Your surgeon will assess how much laxity is present before recommending tightening alone versus a more extensive option.

Can Renuvion be used on the face as well as the body?

Yes — different handpiece sizes are used depending on the area, with a shorter, finer handpiece for delicate areas like the eyes, forehead, under-chin, and neck, and longer handpieces for larger areas like the arms, abdomen, and thighs.

Does Renuvion leave its own separate scars?

No — it's delivered through the same small incisions already used for the liposuction it's paired with, so it doesn't require additional incisions of its own.

Individual results vary. Surgery carries risks; your surgeon will review them with you in consultation.
