Renuvion Treatmentin Scottsdale, AZ

What is Renuvion Skin Tightening?

Renuvion is an innovative, minimally invasive option for tightening loose, sagging skin. By combining radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma, we are able to achieve results with minimal downtime. At Defyne, we offer Renuvion as a standalone procedure as well as utilize it as part of our Defyne Signature procedures for improved outcomes.

Who is a Good Candidate for Renuvion?

Renuvion works well to tighten mild to moderate skin laxity in patients who have adequate skin elasticity. You should be at or near your ideal body weight. Patients with significant skin excess (for example, after a large weight loss) should be counseled on surgical options.

A consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons is the first step toward determining the best plan of care to match your unique needs and goals. Renuvion is often chosen by individuals who would prefer to avoid invasive surgery and a longer downtime and recovery.

Renuvion can treat laxity in almost any body area, including the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and breasts, and we often perform it alongside the following body contouring procedures to enhance results:

• Liposuction
• S.M.A.R.T. Tummy Tuck
• 360° Refyne
• S.M.A.R.T. Contour
• Rib Remodeling
• Thigh Lift
• True Form Breast Lift

What to Expect During Renuvion Treatment and Recovery

Following your consultation and treatment planning, your Renuvion procedure is scheduled. During the procedure, a local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort. Small pinpoint entry incisions are placed in the areas of skin to be treated, and a thin probe called a cannula is inserted just under the skin.

Radiofrequency energy and helium gas are delivered together through the probe, creating a plasma energy stream that delivers controlled heat and instantly contracts the surrounding tissue at the same time. Rapid, controlled cooling protects the outer skin layer during treatment. This minimally invasive technology also stimulates collagen production for further long-term results.

Renuvion Recovery Process

Swelling, bruising, and redness can occur after the procedure but are typically mild and resolve within the first week or two. Most people can return to work within a day or two of the procedure, and should avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for the first 2-3 weeks. Depending on the area of the body that was treated, post-treatment care may include wearing a special compression garment to support recovery.

Renuvion Before and After Results                         

Renuvion results in noticeable skin tightening that is visible right away, and also offers long-term results with further improvements appearing over the next 6-9 months due to increased collagen production. 

These impressive aesthetic outcomes and the science-backed, innovative nature of Renuvion are why it’s a perfect fit for Defyne’s portfolio of high-quality cosmetic procedures, delivering premium results you can be proud of.

Examples of Renuvion Treatment “Before and After” Outcomes
Treatment Area	Before Treatment	After Treatment
Neck and under chin	Mild to moderate loose skin under the chin, early signs of neck laxity, or a less defined jawline.	Tighter-looking skin, smoother neck contour, and a more refined, youthful jawline or under-chin area.
Abdomen	Loose skin or crepey texture after pregnancy, weight changes, aging, or liposuction.	Firmer skin, improved contour, and a smoother abdominal appearance, especially when paired with liposuction.
Upper arms	Mild laxity or “bat wing” looseness without enough excess skin to require a surgical arm lift.	A more toned upper-arm appearance with improved skin firmness and contour.
Thighs	Mild skin laxity, uneven texture, or looseness along the inner or outer thighs.	Smoother, firmer-looking skin and enhanced leg contour.
Face and lower cheeks	Early signs of jowling, mild lower-face laxity, or loss of skin firmness.	Subtle tightening across the face and jawline with youthful, natural-looking improvement and reduction of surface wrinkles.

Individual results vary based on skin quality, treatment area, anatomy, and whether Renuvion is performed alone or alongside another body contouring procedure. A consultation is the best way to determine realistic expectations.
