Renuvion in Uberlândia, Brazil

Plasma skin-tightening technology, indicated to refine liposuction results.

About the Procedure

Renuvion

Renuvion is a technology that uses plasma energy (helium + radiofrequency) to promote skin retraction from underneath, usually combined with liposuction or liposculpture.

It is especially indicated for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve skin contour without undergoing major surgery such as abdominoplasty.

Indication depends on an individual assessment of skin quality and degree of laxity, always done at the consultation.

What to Consider
  • Assessment of skin quality and degree of laxity.
  • Usually used in combination with liposuction or liposculpture.
  • Does not replace abdominoplasty in cases of significant laxity.
  • Post-operative follow-up with a direct concierge channel.
Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Renuvion

Does Renuvion replace abdominoplasty?

Not in every case — it is indicated for mild to moderate laxity. Significant laxity may require surgical skin removal.

Is it a surgical procedure?

It is performed through small incisions, usually combined with another procedure such as liposuction.

When does the skin-tightening result show?

Skin continues to tighten gradually for a few months after the procedure.

How many Renuvion sessions are usually needed?

It's generally performed in a single session, combined with the primary procedure such as liposuction or lipoescultura; it isn't typically repeated as a series.

Is it painful? What type of anesthesia is used?

Since it's combined with another procedure, anesthesia generally follows what's chosen for that procedure (local with sedation or general), determined during the pre-operative evaluation. Post-procedure discomfort tends to be similar to that of the associated technique.

What is the recovery time after Renuvion?

It generally follows the recovery guidelines of the associated procedure, such as liposuction, including compression garment use and relative rest in the first weeks; swelling may take a bit longer to resolve due to the skin-tightening effect.

Can Renuvion be combined with procedures other than liposuction?

It can be associated with other body-contouring techniques, depending on individual evaluation; the specific combination is defined case by case during the consultation.

Can early swelling mask the skin-tightening result?

Yes, post-operative swelling is common in the first weeks and can temporarily mask the tightening effect, which becomes more noticeable as the swelling subsides.

Is the skin-tightening effect permanent?

The tightening achieved tends to be long-lasting, but the skin remains subject to the natural aging process and to weight fluctuations, which can affect the result over time.

Who is generally not a good candidate for Renuvion?

People with pronounced skin laxity are generally not good candidates, since the technology is indicated for mild to moderate cases; this is assessed individually during the consultation.

Is there a risk of burns or thermal injury to the skin?

Yes, because it uses thermal energy, there is a possible risk of burns or thermal skin injury; careful technique and monitoring during the procedure aim to reduce this risk, but it should be discussed individually in the consultation.

Does Renuvion leave scars?

It's performed through small incisions, generally the same ones used for the associated liposuction, which tend to result in discreet scars.
