Renuvion
Expected Pain: Mild to moderate
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia or general sedation
Procedure Duration: 1 to 3 hours
Scarring: Minimal incisions, virtually invisible
Final results: After 3-6 months
Recovery Time: 5 to 7 days
Why?
Renuvion is an innovative skin-tightening technology that uses helium plasma combined with radiofrequency energy. This advanced method causes the skin to contract instantly while tightening the underlying tissue structure. It is an ideal option for both men and women dealing with skin laxity in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, or neck—without the need for invasive surgery.
The Intervention
The surgeon makes tiny incisions and inserts a thin probe beneath the skin. Helium plasma energy is then applied to trigger immediate tissue contraction and stimulate collagen production. Depending on the areas treated, the procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours and can be performed under local or general anaesthesia.
Results and Post-Operative Treatment
Patients can return home on the same day of the procedure. Some skin tightening is visible immediately, but the full result continues to develop over the following 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases.
More Information
- The Renuvion treatment can be combined with liposculpture. (Click here to learn more about liposculpture.)
- Compression garments must be worn day and night for 6 to 8 weeks to ensure proper skin recovery. These are adjusted according to the following schedule:
- Days 1–10: First compression garment (applied directly after surgery)
- Days 11–21: Tighter compression garment or as advised by the sizing chart
- Day 21 to week 6/8: New compression garment, based on sizing
- Compression garments are available at Be Clinic or online.
- Starting from day 5 post-surgery, it is recommended to undergo twice-weekly drainage treatments (such as lymphatic drainage, endermologie, or radiofrequency) to reduce swelling more quickly and enhance healing.
