A Gentle Yet Powerful Lift

As we age, collagen breaks down, skin loses elasticity, and subtle sagging starts to appear. Renuvion targets these changes at the source, tightening tissue beneath the skin’s surface for a natural, youthful result. It’s a powerful, non-surgical alternative to traditional skin tightening surgery, ideal for patients looking to refine contours and enhance skin tone without extensive recovery.

How Renuvion Works

Renuvion combines two proven technologies—radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma—to deliver heat in a highly controlled, precise manner. The device is inserted through a small incision and delivers energy just beneath the skin. This process causes immediate tissue contraction while also stimulating long-term collagen production for firmer, smoother skin over time. Because the energy is focused beneath the surface, Renuvion avoids damage to the skin itself and allows for a faster, more comfortable recovery.

Renuvion as a Standalone or Complement to Surgery

At Wingate Plastic Surgery in Malvern, Renuvion can be performed as:

  • A standalone procedure for mild to moderate skin laxity.
  • An enhancement to liposuction, tightening the skin after fat removal.
  • A complement to facelift or neck lift surgery to maximize results.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals and determine whether Renuvion alone or combined with another procedure will deliver the most natural, beautiful outcome.

What to Expect Your Renuvion Experience

Your treatment will take place in the comfort of our fully accredited surgical suite. Most Renuvion procedures require only local anesthesia with light sedation. After numbing the area, Dr. Wingate will make a few small, hidden incisions. 

A slender wand is inserted under the skin, delivering RF and helium plasma energy to contract the tissue and tighten the area. The process takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Following the procedure, you’ll wear a compression garment and may experience mild swelling or soreness for a few days. Most patients return to normal activity within one week, with visible tightening effects continuing to improve over 3 to 6 months.

Renuvion Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Renuvion results last?

Results vary by patient, but many people enjoy firmer skin for several years. As collagen continues to rebuild beneath the surface, skin quality and tightness gradually improve during the months following treatment.

Is Renuvion safe?

Renuvion is FDA-cleared for skin contraction and has been used in a large number of aesthetic procedures. When performed by a qualified provider in an accredited surgical environment, the treatment is designed to deliver controlled energy safely beneath the skin.

Am I a good candidate for Renuvion?

Candidates typically have mild to moderate skin laxity and want improvement without undergoing a traditional surgical lift. A consultation allows Dr. Wingate to evaluate your skin quality and determine whether Renuvion aligns with your goals.

Will Renuvion leave visible scars?

The procedure requires only very small access points for the treatment wand. These tiny incisions are usually placed in discreet areas and become difficult to notice once healing is complete.

Can Renuvion treat loose skin after weight loss?

Patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity following weight changes sometimes choose Renuvion to improve skin firmness. The treatment works best when the remaining looseness is not severe.

Will I need more than one Renuvion treatment?

Many patients achieve meaningful improvement after a single treatment session. In some cases, additional treatments may be considered if further tightening is desired.

Is Renuvion painful?

Local anesthesia and sedation help keep the procedure comfortable. After treatment, patients may notice temporary soreness or swelling as the tissue heals.

What happens during the consultation for Renuvion?

During your visit, Dr. Wingate evaluates your skin, discusses your concerns, and explains whether Renuvion alone or in combination with another procedure may produce the best outcome.
