People seeking a smoother, more youthful appearance have an outstanding new option. Beverly Hills Physicians is proud to offer Renuvion. This leading-edge technology provides a very minimally invasive alternative to standard body contouring and facial procedures. Renuvion can also be used to improve the outcomes of traditional plastic surgeries for body contouring and facial rejuvenation.
Formerly known as J Plasma, Renuvion is a revolutionary medical device that combines heat generated by high radio frequencies – known as RF energy – with cooling helium plasma (gas). Working via a tiny incision, Renuvion produces heat to tighten dermal tissue and stimulate collagen production; at the exact same time, the device also produces helium plasma to cool the same tissue. The result is a more youthful skin tone without excess burning.
How is Renuvion Used?
- Body Contouring
Traditional plastic surgeries such as liposuction or tummy tucks were formerly the only option for patients with smaller bulges in areas such as the abdomen, arms, or legs. Renuvion provides a less involved solution with much less recovery time that not only tightens the skin but improves skin elasticity – something standard plastic surgery cannot do. The process improves skin contours significantly while leaving virtually no visible scarring. Renuvion can also be used to improve the outcomes of more standard plastic surgeries for body contouring.
- Facial Rejuvenation
People who are looking for facial solutions also have a new option. Appropriate for those with lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I, II, and III), Renuvion can be highly effective for treating severe to moderate wrinkling and fine lines. A stunning alternative to laser treatments as well as surgical facelifts, it is the only such treatment that provides a more youthful look, tighter, and fresher look simply by rejuvenating the skin itself without the use of cutting. Since facelifts can tighten skin but can’t improve its elasticity, Renuvion can also be used to improve the outcomes of standard facial rejuvenation procedures.
What are the Risks of Renuvion?
Renuvion is safe when used properly and the use of helium plasma has been shown to produce results that satisfy patients. However, this is a relatively new technology and should only be used by expert physicians. The superb Beverly Hills Physicians medical team will thoroughly screen patients to ensure that they are good candidates for the treatment. We will make sure that all patients understand the possible risks as well as benefits of a Renuvion treatment before the procedure, allowing them to make a fully informed choice.
Patients who worry about discomfort will be glad to know that Renuvion treatments are always accompanied by a local anesthetic, sedation, or a general anesthetic. In all cases, the patient will be kept comfortable throughout the procedure and should feel only very minor discomfort, such as tingling.
What Should Renuvion Patients Expect During Recovery?
There will typically be a brief down period, though patients should be able to conduct many more activities than would be possible right after standard plastic surgery. Patients may experience some very minor discomfort which can be treated with over-the-counter medications. There will be some swelling initially but, after about seven days, the earliest impacts may already be apparent and most people will be ready to resume their entire regular daily routine.
When Do Results Generally Appear? How Long Do They Last?
Every patient is different but the first dramatic results may appear after roughly four to 12 weeks. In some cases, it may take as long as six months following the treatment to obtain the full benefit of the procedure.
Renuvion’s benefits last for years. However, since it is relatively new, we are still learning about exactly how long its impacts persist. As time passes, it may be a good idea to supplement the treatment with other forms of skin enhancement.
