Do you have loose skin on your body that you’d like to address following your liposuction procedure? Renuvion is a minimally invasive skin-tightening device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma technology to tighten the skin with very little recovery time.

In Beverly Hills, Dr. Michael Hakimi is at the forefront of innovation. Every day, more people are looking for low-downtime procedures that can transform their physique without compromising on results. As a highly experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Hakimi specializes in the art and science of minimally invasive skin-tightening techniques like Renuvion.

Renuvion Overview

01 // What It Is

Renuvion is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared body contouring procedure that instantly tightens loose skin with minimal recovery time. It can be performed on its own to treat skin laxity or combined with liposuction to sculpt firmer body contours.

02 // How We Do It

Dr. Hakimi uses Renuvion to tighten loose skin in common problem areas. Multiple areas can be treated in a single visit. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hakimi will evaluate your concerns and develop a treatment plan for achieving your goals.

03 // Why You Want It

You deserve to have it all. When paired with liposuction, Renuvion promotes immediate skin contraction for firmer, enhanced results.

04 // Recovery Time

Renuvion is well-tolerated by most patients. You can expect to resume most normal activities within a few days.

Next-Generation Skin Tightening

The revolutionary technology behind Renuvion is a combination of RF energy and helium plasma that is FDA-cleared to treat skin laxity on the face, neck and body. It is a versatile option that can be used on its own but perfectly complements liposuction procedures by tightening the skin after fat removal, providing patients with enhanced results and more sculpted contours.

During treatment, helium gas is energized by RF energy to create a plasma beam that delivers controlled heat beneath the skin. This energy causes immediate tissue contraction while simultaneously cooling the treated area, protecting against thermal damage. The outcome? Significantly tighter skin with less risk and downtime than more invasive procedures.

Renuvion With Dr. Hakimi

Dr. Hakimi is Beverly Hills’ leading expert in minimally invasive skin tightening. Renuvion is typically performed with local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be used in some cases. Once you are numb, the device is inserted through tiny incisions, and Dr. Hakimi will use the device to deliver RF energy and helium plasma beneath the skin. Renuvion causes immediate contraction of the underlying collagen fibers and pulls the skin closer to the muscle.

Studies have shown that Renuvion causes significantly more skin contraction than other energy-based treatments while causing less trauma to surrounding tissues. The unique cooling effect of the helium plasma allows for higher energy delivery with lower heat exposure, resulting in superior skin tightening with a lower risk of unwanted complications or side effects.

Each area normally takes about 30 minutes to treat, and multiple areas can be treated to help you achieve your body contouring goals. For most patients, Renuvion is a single-treatment solution for targeting loose skin at the source for a firmer, more sculpted appearance.

Your Results

You’ll notice firmer, tighter skin immediately after your Renuvion procedure. Your results will continue to improve over the following six to nine months as your body heals and undergoes the process of neocollagenesis, progressively toning and tightening the skin in treated areas. You can expect to enjoy your new contours for several years when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

Renuvion Recovery

You’ll be able to return home immediately after your Renuvion procedure. For the first few days, you may experience side effects such as soreness, redness, bruising and swelling in treated areas. Bruising and swelling should subside completely over the following weeks. Most patients find these side effects manageable and are able to return to work within two to four days.

Dr. Hakimi will ask that you wear a compression garment over treated areas for at least two weeks to reduce swelling, promote healing and help the skin adhere to your new body contours. He will advise you when to remove the compression garment and provide you with additional post-op instructions to promote a smooth recovery and optimal results.

“I’m so happy I decided to get awake arm lipo and skin tightening with Dr. Hakimi! I had been researching awake arm lipo for a long time since, despite being active and eating healthy, my arms remained a stubborn area. After a recommendation from RC Care and Beauty for lymphatic massages, I was introduced to Dr. Hakimi’s work—and I’m so glad I went with him!”

Ideal Candidates for Renuvion

Renuvion is ideal for patients who’d like to see improved contours and skin tightening in one or multiple areas of the body. While it is an excellent option for patients who have loose skin they’d like to address without surgery, it works best as a complement to other procedures, like liposuction. That’s because, for most people, the problem is often a combination of excess fat and skin laxity. Liposuction can target unwanted fat, while Renuvion improves the final result.

Many parts of the body can be treated with this minimally invasive procedure; however, some of the common areas patients need help with are the chest, arms, stomach, knees, face, chin and thighs. During your consultation, Dr. Hakimi will listen to your unique concerns and goals, and together, you can decide if Renuvion or another procedure is right for you.

What Areas Can Renuvion Treat?

Renuvion is an extremely versatile procedure that can be used nearly anywhere loose skin is prominent, including your most stubborn problem areas. It is commonly used to treat the:

Stomach
Chest
Hips
Waist
Inner and outer thighs
Back
Love handles
Buttocks
Knees
Upper arms
Neck and chin

In addition to treating areas of the body, Renuvion is also popular among patients who have loose, sagging skin in the neck, chin and jawline but aren’t ready for a face or neck lift. When performed alone or combined with chin liposuction, it can help redefine your facial profile.

While Renuvion is highly effective, like all minimally invasive procedures, it does have some limitations. If you have a significant amount of loose skin, especially after massive weight loss, it may not provide the results you’re looking for. Surgical skin removal procedures like a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift or body lift may be better suited to help you achieve your goals.

FAQ

Is Renuvion Safe?

Renuvion is a minimally invasive procedure that has been cleared by the FDA for its safety and effectiveness. Utilizing advanced RF and helium plasma technology, it offers a safer alternative to traditional skin-tightening procedures, with significantly reduced downtime and less risk of complications. Dr. Hakimi ensures the highest safety standards are met during each procedure, personalizing treatment to each patient’s specific needs and health profile.

What Makes Renuvion Different from Other Skin-Tightening Treatments?

Renuvion stands apart from other energy-based skin tightening treatments with its unique combination of RF energy and helium plasma. This dual-action technology delivers precise, controlled heat to the undersurface of the skin while simultaneously cooling the area, allowing for dramatic skin contraction with less risk of thermal injury. Studies have shown that Renuvion can achieve up to 60% skin contraction — more than any other energy-based device.

How Long Will My Results Last?

The results from Renuvion are designed to be long-lasting. The immediate skin contraction you’ll see after treatment is just the beginning — continued improvement occurs over the following six to nine months as new collagen forms and remodels. While the natural aging process will continue, most patients enjoy their enhanced appearance for years. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results over time.

Does Renuvion Eliminate Cellulite?

While it is not primarily marketed as a cellulite treatment, Renuvion helps to smooth out skin texture and may diminish the appearance of cellulite to some extent. However, results can vary from person to person, so it’s best to discuss your specific concerns with Dr. Hakimi, who can provide a realistic outlook on what Renuvion can achieve for you.

Will There Be Scarring?

Renuvion is a minimally invasive procedure that results in little to no visible scarring. It uses tiny incisions that are just large enough to allow the device to be inserted beneath the skin. As the incisions are very small, they usually heal very well and become barely noticeable over time.
