What is Renuvion?
Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Dr. Fichadia in Portland, Oregon, offers this innovative treatment to help patients achieve a more youthful and toned appearance without invasive surgery. Renuvion can be used on various body areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs, to address skin laxity and improve overall skin quality. The procedure is known for its precision and ability to provide significant results with minimal downtime. It can be combined with liposuction in areas where fat removal and skin tightening is indicated.
Who is a Candidate for Renuvion?
Ideal candidates for Renuvion are individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and looking for a minimally invasive solution to improve their skin’s appearance. This treatment is suitable for patients with good overall health, realistic expectations, and seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical skin tightening procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Fichadia will assess your specific concerns and aesthetic goals to determine if Renuvion is the right option for you. It is important to note that while Renuvion can provide excellent results, it may not be suitable for individuals with severe skin laxity or those who require significant tissue removal.
How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion delivers a precise combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin. This unique combination generates controlled heat, which causes the underlying tissues to contract and tighten while stimulating collagen production. The helium plasma cools the surrounding tissues, ensuring a safe and comfortable treatment experience. The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Dr. Fichadia then makes small incisions to insert a thin probe to deliver the Renuvion energy. The entire process typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Patients often notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen production increases.
Recovery
Recovery from Renuvion is generally quick and straightforward. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the treatment sites, which typically resolve within a few days to a week. Dr. Fichadia will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to help optimize your recovery and results. It is important to avoid strenuous activities and follow all aftercare guidelines to ensure proper healing. Patients can usually return to their normal activities within a week, although avoiding heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for a few weeks is advisable. The full results of the Renuvion treatment will continue to develop over several months as collagen remodeling occurs, leading to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
