Skin Tightening Consultation and Preparation

A consultation is the best way to determine if Renuvion skin tightening is the proper treatment for you. During this consultation, we will evaluate your skin and discuss your expectations from the procedure. Your Boston skin tightening provider will also explain the risks and benefits of Renuvion and any pre-treatment instructions you may need to follow to achieve the best results.

Skin Tightening Procedure

Skin tightening with Renuvion typically takes one hour to complete. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic or numbing agent minimizes discomfort during the treatment session. When performed in conjunction with liposuction, alternative forms of anesthesia may be useful.

When undergoing the procedure, a tiny incision is made near the treated area, and a cannula is inserted through it. The cannula then delivers helium plasma and RF energy to heat up and contract the tissue beneath the skin’s surface. The device also cools down the skin’s surface to prevent any burns or damage.

Once finished, any incisions are closed with sutures and are typically unnoticeable after healing. Post-treatment care includes wearing compression garments or wraps for 4-6 weeks, as well as 4-6 weeks of no exercise, following the procedure to help optimize post-procedure results.
