What Is
?
Renuvion® is a new technology that incorporates plasma heat to aid in body contouring as a standalone and/or adjunct to body contouring procedures. As the only product that is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of loose skin on the neck and chin, it is a safe choice to help get rid of excess skin without the need for invasive surgery, extended downtime, or large surgical scars.
During the Renuvion® procedure, Dr. Ghaznavi will create a small entry point to place the device just under the skin. Then, the device will release pro helium gas and radiofrequency (RF) to create a stream of energy (plasma). This will generate enough heat to contract the skin while, simultaneously, excess helium gas will cool the treatment area. This combination of energy will cause the tissue to contract just under the skin, which will tighten it.
