How Renuvion® Improves Skin Firmness and Contour

Loose, lax skin is one of the most common concerns patients bring up when they want to look more youthful but are not ready for plastic surgery. Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a minimally invasive skin tightening solution that delivers results far beyond what topical treatments can achieve, without the recovery of a traditional surgical procedure. 

 At Elite MD in Danville, CA, our team helps patients restore firmness and improve their contour with this innovative skin rejuvenation treatment. Call today to schedule a consultation. 

What is Renuvion? 

So, what is Renuvion? This popular technology combines helium gas and radiofrequency energy to create cold helium plasma, which is delivered precisely beneath the skin through a small incision. Renuvion also works to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of tissue. The result is immediate tissue contraction and gradual skin tightening, which continue to improve over the months that follow. 

J-Plasma technology can treat the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs with a level of precision and consistency that other minimally invasive options struggle to match. 

Who gets the best results from skin resurfacing? 

Renuvion is suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. Ideal candidates in Danville, CA typically share a few qualities:  

• Good overall health: Free of conditions that could interfere with healing or increase surgical risk. 
• Stable weight: Close to their ideal weight with no plans for significant weight fluctuations. 
• Realistic expectations: An understanding that results develop gradually over 3 – 6 months rather than right away. 
• Healthy skin: Free of active infections or other conditions in the treatment area. 
• Nonsmoker: Or willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure to support optimal healing. 

During a consultation at Elite MD, our team will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and let you know whether this skin rejuvenation treatment is the right fit for your situation. 

A step-by-step look at your appointment 

Our skin resurfacing procedure begins with the application of anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Our team then uses the Renuvion device to deliver helium plasma energy evenly beneath the skin throughout the targeted area. Because the energy is delivered subdermally, the surface of the skin is left intact, which supports a smoother recovery. Some redness, swelling, and mild bruising in the days following treatment are normal and expected as the tissue begins healing. 

Renuvion results and what to expect over time 

Renuvion results develop gradually as collagen and elastin production ramp up beneath the surface. Most patients do not see the full extent of their results afterward, and the most significant improvements typically become visible over the 3 – 6 months that follow. You should experience firmer, contoured skin that looks naturally refreshed, and results are long-lasting with proper skin care and sun protection.
