Considering a nonsurgical approach to tighten loose skin? You’re not alone. With advancements in cosmetic procedures, nonsurgical options to achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. But does nonsurgical skin tightening really deliver results?
The short answer is: Yes, nonsurgical skin tightening is proven to work. But there are many types of nonsurgical skin tightening, with some yielding better results than others. Read on for a more in-depth explanation.
Common Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Treatments
Most nonsurgical skin tightening devices currently available use technologies like radiofrequency, ultrasound or microneedling to stimulate collagen production, the key protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity. While results can vary depending on factors like skin type and age, these devices generally yield effective results.
However, one of the latest nonsurgical skin-tightening devices called Renuvion® may produce even more dramatic and comprehensive results, even after surgical body contouring procedures like liposuction.
How Does Renuvion Skin Tightening Work?
Renuvion skin tightening, also known as J-Plasma, is gaining attention as a revolutionary nonsurgical option for skin tightening. Using a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy, Renuvion targets the underlying layers of the skin, triggering a tightening effect.
This process works by heating and contracting collagen fibers, while simultaneously stimulating the production of new collagen. This dual-action approach delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime, making it an attractive nonsurgical skin tightening option.
Does It Require Anesthesia?
Even though it is nonsurgical, we still perform Renuvion under general anesthesia for maximum patient safety and comfort. You should have minimal discomfort after the procedure and you will have minimal restrictions and post-procedure instructions.
How Do I Know If Renuvion Is Right For Me?
Those with mild to moderate skin laxity generally see the best results with Renuvion, though it is crucial to have realistic expectations for your final outcome. The best way to determine if Renuvion or other nonsurgical skin tightening treatments could be right for you is to consult an experienced provider who can custom-tailor a treatment plan to fit your unique needs.
