Minimally Invasive

Renuvion Skin Contouring

Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is commonly used in conjunction with liposuction procedures through the body and neck. During the process, the handheld device delivers a controlled amount of radiofrequency energy to the treatment area along with helium gas. This energy converts the helium into a plasma, which is then used to heat and tighten the targeted tissues. The result is a combination of fat removal through liposuction and skin tightening through the application of plasma energy, with minimal risk of thermal injury to the skin or surrounding structures.
