The story
Worried about loose skin on the face, neck or body?
Loose skin can appear on the jawline, the neck, the arms or the abdomen, sometimes after weight loss or liposuction. Many people want the skin to tighten without a large operation.
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas to deliver energy to the layer under the skin. The tissue contracts and collagen is remodeled, which tightens the skin gradually.
The result develops over about 6–9 months, so patience is part of the plan. The treatment can be used on the face and neck, or on the arms, abdomen, back and thighs.
