Renuvion® / JPlasma Skin Tightening

In Orlando & Lake Mary

Loose or sagging skin from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging can be frustrating, especially when it doesn't respond to diet, exercise, or skincare alone. Renuvion® / JPlasma offers a minimally invasive way to tighten skin without surgical incisions or general anesthesia. Performed awake in a single session, it stimulates your body's own collagen production for smoother, firmer skin at Eterna MD in Orlando & Lake Mary.

Renuvion® / JPlasma Skin Tightening

What Is Renuvion J Plasma Skin Tightening?

Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) to force immediate skin contraction on the face and body. It is great for those looking to improve the appearance of sagging skin without undergoing extensive surgery. Renuvion can stimulate the body's natural healing process to treat mild to moderate excess skin without the requirement of extensive downtime or multiple treatments. The Renuvion procedure is conducted in a single session, and the skin will continue to tighten for up to a year.

How Does Renuvion’s Minimally Invasive Technology Work?

Renuvion is a skin-tightening procedure that refines the underlying tissue by stimulating collagen production. It uses cold plasma combined with radiofrequency energy to target specific areas of the body and face with loose skin. This energy is applied beneath the skin, heating the tissue and collagen structures to encourage optimal tissue contraction. Renuvion delivers the best possible results quickly through precise heating and cooling technology, stimulating the skin to tighten while protecting it from damage. 

At Eterna MD, Renuvion is performed under local anesthesia while patients remain awake throughout the procedure. This approach eliminates the need for general anesthesia, allowing for a safer, more comfortable treatment experience with a faster recovery for many patients.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Renuvion?

Renuvion can be used on many areas of the body, including:

  • Face and Neck: To address sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls.
  • Abdomen: For post-pregnancy or weight loss skin laxity.
  • Arms and Thighs: To reduce loose skin.
  • Back and Bra Line: To tighten sagging skin in hard-to-reach areas.

What Are the Benefits of Renuvion?

Renuvion treatments offer many advantages, making them a smart choice for individuals seeking a minimally invasive skin-tightening solution. Benefits include:

  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • No large incisions are necessary
  • Immediate effects
  • Natural-looking results
  • Long-term benefits
  • Avoids general anesthesia 
  • Faster recovery and return to daily activities
  • Minimal downtime

 

What Can Renuvion Do for You?

Skin laxity, loose skin, or extra "flab and folds" can appear on the body due to weight loss, pregnancy, or simply as a sign of aging. Luckily, the minimally invasive Renuvion treatment is a safe and effective way to tighten skin without going under the knife. Renuvion can target many areas of the body that require skin tightening treatment. The most commonly treated areas are the abdomen, back, breasts, thighs, arms, and neck. It can also be used on the face to restore your skin elasticity.

Recovery After the Renuvion Procedure

Recovery following Renuvion treatment is generally quick and easy, especially compared to traditional invasive surgery. Most patients will experience mild swelling, redness, and bruising in the treated areas, which typically subside within 1-2 weeks. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help to manage any minimal discomfort. While some improvement will be immediately noticeable, swelling may obscure the final results. Light activities can be resumed within a few days, while strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for about two weeks. For best results, be sure to follow the post-procedure instructions provided to you by our team.

How Long Do Renuvion Results Last?

The results of Renuvion are long-lasting, often persisting for several years. However, the longevity of results depends on factors such as the individual’s age, skin quality, lifestyle, and skin-care routine. As the body produces more collagen after treatment, skin elasticity and firmness improve over time, providing gradual, long-lasting results.

Enhance The Results

While Renuvion delivers impressive skin-tightening results as a standalone procedure, it is most commonly performed at Eterna MD alongside Body-Jet® Liposuction or VASER® Liposuction to optimize body contouring outcomes. After fat removal, some patients may experience loose or lax skin due to the sudden reduction in volume. Renuvion helps promote immediate tissue contraction while stimulating long-term collagen production, allowing the skin to better conform to your new contours. 

At Eterna MD, Dr. Mercado performs Renuvion under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake throughout the procedure and avoid the risks and extended recovery associated with general anesthesia. By combining advanced liposuction techniques with Renuvion, Dr. Mercado can achieve smoother, firmer, and more sculpted results in a single treatment, all performed under local anesthesia without the need for general anesthesia.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Renuvion in Lake Mary?

Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a minimally invasive treatment to achieve more youthful skin can often benefit from Renuvion. Ideal candidates will be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for what this treatment can achieve. It is particularly effective for those who have changes in skin elasticity due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. Renuvion may be an excellent option for patients seeking meaningful skin tightening while avoiding general anesthesia.

However, Renuvion may not be right for those with severe skin laxity, those with certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or nursing. Please contact us today to schedule a consultation to learn more about whether Renuvion is right for you.
