Renuvion

Renuvion in Long Island With Dr. Meredith Vandegrift

With age, your body will make less collagen and elastin – two essential proteins in healthy, youthful-looking skin. In the absence of its “scaffolding,” your skin can begin to sag, droop, and wrinkle. However, innovative treatments like Renuvion can turn back the clock by stimulating collagen production and improving your skin health. The revolutionary Renuvion treatment can tighten skin in conjunction with body contouring procedures, like liposuction or a tummy tuck, or provide outstanding results on its own.

With many options available for your skin rejuvenation and body contouring needs, you need a knowledgeable, compassionate provider who will help you achieve beautiful results. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Meredith Vandegrift takes time to understand your aesthetic goals so she can recommend the proper procedure.

What Is Renuvion J-Plasma?

Renuvion is a minimally invasive solution that can stand alone or enhance other procedures. The Renuvion device allows Dr. Vandegrift to target specific areas. Typically, patients notice a difference immediately following treatment. However, Renuvion promotes collagen production to continue gradually improving those results over the next six to nine months. Many people enjoy the effects of their Long Island Renuvion for up to five years.

Renuvion can target loose skin on your:

  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Breasts
  • Buttocks
  • Face and neck
  • Thighs

Renuvion uses radiofrequency and helium gas to create cold plasma energy. This energy contracts the skin from underneath by heating collagen and other support structures. By encouraging collagen production, Renuvion improves and rejuvenates your appearance for a toned, sculpted look.

To tighten loose skin, you can add Renuvion to body contouring procedures like liposuction or a tummy tuck to provide optimal results.

What Are the Benefits of Renuvion?

A minimally invasive procedure, Renuvion helps restore a more youthful appearance by tightening loose skin and stimulating collagen production.

Safe, effective Renuvion tightens skin with long-lasting results and offers other benefits, including:

  • Less scarring due to small incisions
  • No tissue removal
  • Minimal pain and discomfort
  • Limited downtime

Prior to Your Procedure

In the weeks before your Renuvion procedure, Dr. Vandegrift will recommend that you:

Renuvion Procedure

Dr. Vandegrift will create small incisions in the treatment area to allow the Renuvion device to deliver helium plasma energy to your skin. The Renuvion energy also stimulates collagen production to enhance your results.

Each Renuvion session can take between 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment areas.

Renuvion Aftercare

After a Renuvion skin tightening procedure, most patients experience light bruising and swelling; typically, these effects resolve within a week. You can treat any discomfort with over-the-counter pain medications.

Following your Renuvion treatment, you may need to wear a compression garment for a few days to aid in skin retraction, minimize swelling, and ease your recovery. Please avoid strenuous exercising and exposure to UV rays and heat for at least a week.

Most patients can resume their typical schedules within a week after a Renuvion skin tightening treatment. After a few months, the tiny incisions will heal, leaving little to no scarring.
