What Is Renuvion?

Renuvion is a surgeon-directed tissue-tightening technology used to contract collagen-rich layers beneath the skin, where laxity begins. It combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to create controlled tissue contraction, helping improve firmness and contour from the inside out. Renuvion is most commonly used during body contouring procedures, often alongside liposuction, to address loose skin that fat removal alone cannot correct and to support smoother, more refined results as healing and collagen remodeling occur.

Benefits of Renuvion

Renuvion is selected when skin laxity compromises contour quality and deeper tightening is required.

  • Improved skin firmness: Contracts underlying tissue to address looseness at its source.
  • Enhanced contour definition: Refines transitions and contours that surface treatments cannot reach.
  • Targeted precision: Allows controlled tightening in specific areas without unnecessary disruption.
  • Effective complement to liposuction: Helps optimize results when fat removal alone is not enough.
  • Progressive, natural refinement: Continued collagen remodeling supports gradual improvement over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for Renuvion?

Renuvion in Fort Lauderdale is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who are near a stable weight and seeking improved firmness rather than removal of large amounts of excess skin. It is commonly considered after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging, particularly when looseness limits overall contour quality.

Patients with significant excess skin or muscle separation may achieve better outcomes with excisional surgery. Candidacy is determined by skin quality, anatomy, and the type of change you want to achieve.

Why Choose Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery for Renuvion?

Renuvion requires careful patient selection and surgical judgment to deliver refined, natural-looking results. At Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery, Dr. Learn approaches Renuvion with a focus on balance, safety, and long-term outcomes, not one-size-fits-all solutions. 

Her experience in body contouring allows her to determine when Renuvion will truly enhance a result, when it should be combined with another procedure, and when a different approach will serve the patient better, ensuring recommendations are guided by anatomy and goals rather than trends.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is designed to be thorough, informative, and focused on your goals. During this visit, we review your concerns, medical history, and any prior procedures, along with a careful evaluation of your skin quality, laxity, and overall anatomy. Based on this assessment, we will discuss whether Renuvion is an appropriate option, how it may fit into a broader body contouring plan, and what level of improvement is realistic, so you can move forward with clear expectations and confidence.

What to Expect During Renuvion Treatment

Renuvion is performed through small access points using a specialized handpiece placed beneath the skin to deliver controlled energy to collagen-rich tissue. The treatment is commonly performed in conjunction with liposuction, allowing both fat reduction and skin tightening to be addressed during the same procedure when appropriate. Details such as anesthesia, operative time, and surgical setting are tailored to the treatment area and the scope of your personalized plan, with safety guiding every decision.

Renuvion Recovery and Results

Recovery varies depending on the areas treated and whether Renuvion is combined with other procedures. Patients typically experience swelling, firmness, and localized tenderness early on, which gradually improve over the first several weeks. While some tightening may be noticeable as swelling resolves, results continue to evolve over the following months as collagen remodeling progresses, with final outcomes influenced by skin quality, anatomy, and adherence to post-procedure instructions.
