Renuvion Facial Renewal & Body Contouring

As we age, lose weight, or go through pregnancy, our skin often becomes loose and saggy due to decreased collagen and elastin production, which reduces elasticity and firmness. While we can’t stop the aging process, energy devices like Renuvion offer a solution by contracting soft tissues and initiating the long-lasting collagen rebuilding process known as neocollagenesis. Renuvion goes beneath the surface and addresses the problem of loose skin directly at the source.

At Premier Plastic Surgery, we are proud to be the first clinic in Knoxville, TN to offer Renuvion, an advanced skin tightening technology that provides a powerful, minimally invasive solution for post-weight loss body contouring.

What is Renuvion?

Renuvion is an innovative body contouring technology. It is the only device that is FDA cleared for use after liposuction, and FDA cleared for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue.

How does the technology work?

The wand is inserted under the skin and delivers a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue that’s a primary cause of loose skin. This energy contracts these collagen fibers and pulls the skin down closer to the muscle, for a more contoured appearance.

What is body contouring?

Body contouring, also known as body shaping, is a procedure that improves body shape by addressing excess fat and sagging skin. For example, after significant weight loss or liposuction, loose skin can make it hard to appreciate the results. Renuvion helps by targeting loose skin directly, improving the overall contour and appearance.

After Liposuction

During liposuction, fat cells are removed exposing the collagen network that makes up the connective tissue beneath the surface of the skin. Due to this space created between the skin and the muscle from the removal of fat, this allows Renuvion to function at its maximum potential delivering a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue that’s a primary cause of loose skin. This energy contracts these collagen fibers and pulls the skin down, closer to the muscle, for a more contoured appearance, ultimately taking liposuction results to the next level.

Treatable Areas

Renuvion is a versatile technology that is FDA-cleared to treat loose skin anywhere, as needed all over the body. Common treatment areas include:

Pectoral area or breasts
Arms
