Renuvion is a procedure that combines fat removal with technology intended to assist in skin tightening.

Is Renuvion Right For You?

Renuvion technology is used to support skin firmness, though the degree of skin tightening varies between individuals based on factors like skin quality and tissue laxity. Dr Mistry will assess your individual needs and discuss potential outcomes during your consultation.

Ideal Candidates for Renuvion

Renuvion is a skin-tightening procedure that may be considered by individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are exploring non-surgical treatment options.

Individuals considering this procedure may:

• Have areas of skin laxity that may respond to energy-based skin contraction techniques.
• Be in good general health and maintain a stable weight.
• Have realistic expectations about outcomes based on individual anatomy.
• Be non-smokers or willing to cease smoking before and after treatment.
• Prefer options that may not involve traditional surgical excision.

Renuvion may be used on areas such as the abdomen, arms, and neck, depending on a personalised clinical assessment.

What to Expect After Choosing Renuvion

Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr Mistry, where he will:

• Assess areas of skin laxity to determine if Renuvion is the right solution for you.
• Discuss your aesthetic goals and desired outcomes.
• Review your medical history and overall health to confirm your suitability for the procedure.

Dr. Mistry will provide a detailed explanation of the procedure, including its benefits, potential risks, and what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

Pre-Operative Planning : If you decide to proceed, Dr Mistry will create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. He will identify the areas requiring treatment and discuss any necessary preoperative preparations.

The Procedure

• Anaesthesia: Renuvion is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the treatment area’s size and complexity.
• Skin Tightening: Using a specialised device, Dr Mistry delivers helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, generating controlled heat. This process may stimulate collagen production and contribute to changes in skin firmness and contour over time.
• Treatment Areas: Renuvion can be applied to multiple areas, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and neck, to achieve optimal results.

Post-Operative Care

After your procedure, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions to support healing and achieve optimal results. These may include:

• Wearing compression garments as advised may help manage swelling and support the skin during the healing process.
• Limiting physical activity to allow the treated areas to heal properly.
• Managing discomfort with prescribed medications as needed.

Dr. Mistry and his team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery, address any concerns, and ensure you are progressing as expected.

Recovery and Results

• Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks.
• Full Results: Results can be seen gradually, with the skin continuing to tighten over the course of three to six months as collagen production increases.
• Long-Term Effects: The skin-tightening effects of Renuvion are long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

Possible Risks and Complications

• Skin Burns or Injury: Though rare, the heat generated by helium plasma and radiofrequency energy may cause burns or skin injury if not carefully controlled.
• Skin Necrosis: In very rare cases, excessive heat or improper technique can lead to tissue damage, requiring additional treatment.
• Asymmetry or Uneven Results: While Renuvion is designed to tighten skin uniformly, results may vary, especially in larger or more complex treatment areas.
• Pigmentation Changes: Temporary hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) may occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones. These changes typically resolve over time.
• Scarring: Although incisions are minimal, improper healing may lead to visible scarring. Common Risks and Complications:
• Swelling and Bruising: These are common after the procedure, peaking within the first few days and gradually subsiding over a few weeks.
• Pain or Discomfort: Mild to moderate soreness in treated areas is expected but can be managed with prescribed pain relief.
• Temporary Numbness or Tingling: Some patients may experience numbness or tingling, which usually resolves within a few weeks.
• Gradual Skin Tightening: Results are not immediate—full effects develop over 3–6 months as collagen production increases. Some patients may benefit from additional treatments.
• Bruising at Incision Sites: Small incisions may cause mild bruising, which typically fades within a few weeks.
