Renuvion® from Apyx® Medical is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with body contouring and liposuction. Renuvion® uses helium plasma that targets the subdermal tissues (connective tissue network under your skin) to promote collagen contraction in real time. The Renuvion® technology is innovative in that the device heats the tissue for only 0.04 seconds, which is just long enough for maximal collagen contracture, and just as quickly, the tissue cools down to keep the procedure safe.

This treatment is ideal for patients wanting a more athletic, toned look to their abdomen, arms, buttocks, or thighs. As an adjunct to tummy tuck or liposuction, it can help “shrink wrap” the skin around the muscles. Renuvion® is the only device with FDA clearances for use after liposuction and for contracting the deepest layers of the skin. In some cases, for example, in the arms, Renuvion® can help contract the skin enough so that patients can avoid the long arm lift incision. It can also be combined with other minimally invasive body procedures, such as Avéli® for cellulite reduction, or fillers,  such as Sculptra® or Radiesse®, as an integrated approach to lower body (buttocks and thighs) rejuvenation. Results from this procedure can vary depending on the physician’s experience level. Dr. Cindy Wu is very experienced in providing Renuvion® procedures, and she consistently delivers exceptional results for her patients in Cary, Raleigh, the surrounding areas of North Carolina, and across the nation.
