Renuvion Treatment in Portland, OR
Tighten and Rejuvenate Your Skin
Loose, sagging skin can be a frustrating concern, but surgery isn't your only option. Renuvion treatment is a minimally invasive procedure to tighten and rejuvenate your skin, delivering remarkable results with minimal downtime. Dr. Bartholomew is a leading provider of Renuvion in Portland and Clackamas, and he can help you determine if this innovative treatment is right for you.
What is Renuvion Treatment?
Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a minimally invasive skin-tightening procedure that uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to contract and tighten skin tissue. This unique technology allows for precise and controlled heating of the skin and underlying tissue, which stimulates collagen production and results in firmer, smoother skin.
How Does Renuvion Work?
During the Renuvion procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a thin probe beneath the skin. The probe delivers radiofrequency energy, and helium gas cools it. This creates a helium plasma that precisely heats the targeted tissue, causing it to contract and tighten. The heat also stimulates collagen production, which further improves skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Benefits of Renuvion Skin Tightening
Minimally Invasive
Renuvion is minimally invasive. You'll have minimal downtime compared to traditional surgical procedures like a tummy tuck or facelift.
Precise and Controlled
The combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma allows for precise and controlled heating of the targeted tissue. This minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding structures.
Effective Skin Tightening
Renuvion can effectively tighten loose, sagging skin on various areas of the body. Patients find it especially effective on the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Natural-Looking Results
Renuvion stimulates collagen production, resulting in natural-looking skin tightening and rejuvenation that improves over time.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience minimal downtime after Renuvion treatment and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
Versatile Treatment
Renuvion addresses many concerns, including loose skin after weight loss, sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.
What Areas Are Treated with Renuvion?
Renuvion can be used to tighten skin on various areas of the body, including:
- Sagging skin on the face and neck, jowls, and wrinkles, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
- Loose skin on the abdomen, improving the appearance of a "tummy pooch" or sagging skin after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Dropping skin on the upper arms, creating a more toned and defined look.
- Excess skin on the inner and outer thighs.
What to Expect During and After Your Renuvion Procedure
The Renuvion procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so you'll be relaxed and comfortable during the treatment. The length of the procedure will vary depending on the areas being treated.
After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. You may be advised to wear compression garments for a short period to help minimize swelling and support the treated areas.
Dr. Bartholomew will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and answer any questions you may have about the recovery process.
