(925) 949-8587At Veritas Plastic Surgery, Dr. Vivian Ting is dedicated to providing her Walnut Creek patients with the most advanced and effective cosmetic procedures available. One such innovation is Renuvion®, a minimally invasive skin tightening technology that harnesses the power of plasma energy to deliver remarkable results.
What Is Renuvion?
Renuvion is a minimally invasive technology that combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas to create a plasma energy stream. This stream of energy is used to gently heat and contract the skin, which results in immediate tightening and lifting. Renuvion is also effective at stimulating collagen production, which can further improve the appearance of the skin over time. The results and duration of effects are comparable to those achieved with FaceTite and BodyTite, typically lasting around five years. The amount of tightening is estimated at about 40-50%, depending on factors such as stretch marks, age, and skin type.
What Are the Benefits of Renuvion?
There are many benefits to Renuvion, including:
- Immediate results: You will see a noticeable difference in the appearance of your skin immediately after the procedure.
- Long-lasting results: The effects of Renuvion can last for several years.
- Minimally invasive: Renuvion is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions.
- Safe: Renuvion is a safe and effective procedure that has been FDA-cleared.
- Versatile: Renuvion can be used to treat a variety of areas of the face and body.
How Much Does Renuvion Cost?
At Veritas Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ting understands that the cost of any cosmetic procedure is an important consideration. The investment in Renuvion skin tightening varies depending on a variety of factors, including the size and number of treatment areas, the extent of skin laxity, and the desired outcome. To provide our Walnut Creek patients with complete transparency, Dr. Ting offers personalized consultations where she will thoroughly assess your individual needs, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan. This will allow her to provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost of your Renuvion procedure.
What Is the Renuvion Treatment Like?
Renuvion treatment is typically performed in an outpatient setting. During the procedure, Dr. Ting makes small incisions in the treatment area. A thin wand is then inserted into the incisions and used to deliver the plasma energy stream. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Recovery from the Renuvion Procedure
Most patients experience minimal downtime, with some mild swelling and bruising that typically subsides within a few days. To optimize your healing process and ensure optimal results, Dr. Ting will provide you with personalized post-operative care instructions and a compression garment to support the treated area.
Depending on the specific areas treated, you can generally resume your normal activities within a few days to a week.
How Long Does Renuvion Take To Work?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness right after your procedure. Over the next 6 to 9 months, your body’s natural healing process kicks in, stimulating collagen production for continued skin firming and rejuvenation. This gradual transformation ensures natural-looking and long-lasting results, subtly enhancing your features over time.
Dr. Ting and her team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your skin is responding optimally to the treatment. You’ll be amazed by the progressive improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, revealing a refreshed and revitalized look.
