Tight, toned skin is a virtually universal beauty standard. Sadly, it can be difficult to achieve. Over time, skin naturally loses some of its tightness, which can lead to sagging in certain areas. Fortunately, there are treatments available that can help! This blog post discusses how you may be able to say goodbye to sagging skin with the help of the innovative Renuvion (J-Plasma) treatment.
What Is Renuvion?
Renuvion is also known as J-Plasma or J Plasty. It is a minimally invasive plastic surgery wherein a cannula (similar to what is used in liposuction) is carefully inserted beneath the skin. It releases plasma to strategically heat the skin, after which the skin is immediately cooled off. This combination stimulates soft tissue contraction and promotes the production of collagen, an important structural protein in the skin.
In the weeks following a Renuvion procedure, most patients notice a substantial increase in skin tightness. In fact, Renuvion can often achieve results that are not possible with diet and exercise or non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Renuvion is usually performed under local anesthesia. After numbing the treatment area, your cosmetic surgeon will insert the cannula and strategically administer the treatment. In most cases, the entire procedure takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours.
There might be some soreness after your appointment, but that usually wears off within a few weeks. Required downtime may be just a few days.
Renuvion can be used to treat various areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Back
- Hips
- Neck and lower face
- Buttocks
Renuvion is often used for liposuction patients to optimize their results. However, it can also be effective as a standalone treatment.
Benefits of Renuvion (J-Plasma)
Some of the top benefits of Renuvion include:
- It is minimally invasive.
- The results are noticeable and long-lasting.
- There is little to no scarring.
- There is a much lower risk than what comes with more extensive, more invasive procedures.
- Recovery time is quick, and the required downtime is minimal.
- After Renuvion treatment, your clothing may fit better, and you may feel more confident about the shape of your body.
