Renuvion®
For those looking to enhance body contouring and achieve smoother, firmer skin, Renuvion is an advanced skin-tightening treatment that delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Using a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma, Renuvion stimulates collagen production and promotes tissue contraction, helping to improve skin elasticity in targeted areas.
At Naples Aesthetic Institute, Renuvion is often combined with liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, neck lifts, submental liposuction, and brow lifts to refine contours and tighten loose skin. This minimally invasive procedure is an excellent option for enhancing surgical results and addressing skin laxity from aging or weight loss. Patients from Naples, Fort Myers, and beyond choose Renuvion for its ability to provide precise, natural-looking rejuvenation.

How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to deliver precise, controlled heating beneath the skin. This advanced technology works by creating a Dual Thermal Effect™, which heats the underlying soft tissues to optimal contraction temperatures while simultaneously cooling the skin’s surface. The result is an immediate tightening effect, followed by continued collagen production that enhances skin elasticity over time.
Unlike traditional skin-tightening treatments, Renuvion’s ability to targeted areas with minimal heat transfer to the skin reduces the risk of thermal damage while maximizing tissue contraction. When combined with liposuction, facelifts, or tummy tucks, Renuvion enhances body contouring results by refining treated areas for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
Benefits of Renuvion Skin Tightening
Renuvion enhances skin tightening and contouring by delivering powerful yet minimally invasive results. When combined with procedures like liposuction, facelifts, and tummy tucks, this advanced technology refines treated areas for a smoother, firmer appearance. Key benefits include:
- Tightens loose skin on the neck, lower face, abdomen, arms, and more
- Enhances body contouring when paired with plastic surgery procedures
- Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting results
- Minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions
- Minimal downtime, allowing for a faster recovery time

Who is a Candidate for Renuvion?
Renuvion is an excellent option for individuals seeking skin tightening and contouring with a minimally invasive procedure. Ideal candidates:
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to improve elasticity
- Are looking to enhance liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, or neck lifts for optimal results
- Prefer a treatment with small incisions and minimal downtime
Preparing for Renuvion
Proper preparation is key to achieving optimal results with Renuvion treatments. Before the procedure, you will receive detailed pre-treatment guidelines to ensure a smooth experience and minimal downtime.
To help support healing and collagen production, you may be advised to:
- Avoid smoking and alcohol in the weeks leading up to your treatment
- Pause certain medications or supplements that could increase bruising or bleeding, as directed
- Arrange for transportation home if sedation is used during your Renuvion procedure
Following these recommendations can help enhance tissue contraction, promote a faster recovery time, and improve the overall outcome of your treatment. If you have any questions, the team at Naples Aesthetic Institute will provide guidance to help you feel fully prepared.
The Renuvion Procedure
Renuvion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to enhance skin tightening and contouring with precision and efficiency. The treatment is typically performed under sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
To begin, small incisions are made in the targeted areas, allowing the Renuvion handpiece to be inserted beneath the skin. The device then delivers radiofrequency energy combined with helium plasma, generating controlled plasma energy that heats soft tissues to optimal contraction temperatures. This process creates an immediate tightening effect while stimulating collagen production for continued improvements over time.
The procedure typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the treated areas, and is often combined with liposuction, facelifts, neck lifts, and tummy tucks to enhance body contouring results. Many patients notice visible improvements right away, with their skin becoming firmer and smoother as healing progresses.
Renuvion Recovery
Recovery after Renuvion treatments is generally straightforward, but following post-procedure guidelines is essential for optimal results. Patients undergoing Renuvion for the lower face or neck typically wear a compression garment for one week full-time, then for at least six additional weeks at home to support tissue contraction and healing. When Renuvion is used on the body, continuous compression for at least six weeks is recommended to minimize swelling and maximize skin-tightening effects.
It is normal to experience swelling, tenderness, and mild discomfort for the first four to six weeks, though these effects gradually subside. Most patients find that downtime is minimal, allowing them to return to normal activities relatively quickly.
Renuvion Results
Renuvion treatments provide a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity, firmness, and contouring. Many patients see an immediate difference in treated areas, with further enhancements developing as swelling diminishes.
While initial results can be seen within the first few weeks, final outcomes typically take six to nine months to fully develop, as the body continues to produce collagen and tighten the skin. Improvements can continue for up to a year, providing long-lasting rejuvenation that enhances the results of procedures like liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, and neck lifts.

for improving the appearance of loose skin in the neck and submental (under the chin) areas, as well as for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue in various body regions.
However, if you have lines from your nose stretching down to your mouth (nasolabial folds) or parentheses lines around your mouth, these are static wrinkles, and BOTOX Cosmetic will not help with those. You need dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane to fill static wrinkles.
Most patients achieve noticeable and lasting results with just one Renuvion treatment. The procedure’s ability to stimulate collagen production leads to continued skin tightening over time. However, the exact number of treatments required can vary based on individual goals and the extent of skin laxity. During your consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.
Renuvion offers long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing improvements that can last for several years. The procedure stimulates collagen production, leading to continued skin tightening over time. Individual results may vary, and factors such as aging and lifestyle can influence the longevity of the outcomes.
The cost of Renuvion depends on several factors, including the size and number of treated areas and whether it is performed in combination with liposuction or other cosmetic procedures. During your consultation at Naples Aesthetic Institute, a personalized treatment plan will be created, and pricing details will be provided based on your unique goals.
No, Renuvion is not a weight loss treatment. It is designed to tighten loose skin and enhance contouring after procedures like liposuction, tummy tucks, and other body sculpting surgeries. While it can improve the appearance of excess fat by refining treated areas, it does not remove fat or replace weight loss methods such as diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. Instead, Renuvion helps address skin laxity, making it an excellent option for individuals who have lost weight and want to achieve a smoother, more toned appearance.
Yes, Renuvion is often combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance overall results. Common combinations include liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, and neck lifts to improve skin tightening and contouring. Additionally, non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX® and dermal fillers can further refine facial rejuvenation, helping to smooth wrinkles and restore volume for a more youthful appearance.
During your consultation, the team at Naples Aesthetic Institute will discuss the best approach to achieve your desired results based on your aesthetic goals.
