Renuvion for Skin Tightening
in Houston, TX
Sagging, loose skin can occur anywhere on the body and affect your appearance. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, causing it to droop and wrinkle.
Significant weight fluctuations, pregnancies, and sun damage can also contribute to loss of firmness. While creams and lotions may provide temporary plumping effects, they cannot reverse the root cause of skin laxity. Renuvion treatments offer an effective way to smooth and tighten skin for more youthful contours and improved body satisfaction. Dr. Ravi Somayazula is an established board-certified plastic surgeon providing Renuvion treatments in Houston, TX. Dr. Ravi has extensive experience with body contouring procedures and combines artistry with advanced technologies to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals.
WHAT IS RENUVION?
Renuvion (also known as J Plasma) is a cutting-edge skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency energy and helium gas to gently heat the deep layers of the skin.
This controlled thermal injury stimulates new collagen production and tissue remodeling, resulting in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Unlike laser treatments that primarily affect the skin’s surface, Renuvion targets the deeper dermal layer, providing longer-lasting improvements. The radiofrequency and helium gas also deliver instant skin contraction and tightening during the procedure itself. Renuvion is a minimally invasive technique that requires only small incisions to insert the handpiece under the skin. Notably, it’s often combined with VASER (ultrasound) to enhance Hi-Def power liposuction techniques to improve three-dimensional definition.
Benefits Of Renuvion
Some benefits of Renuvion skin tightening include:
- Non-surgical, non-invasive technique with no downtime
- Improves skin laxity and sagging with lasting results
- Smooths fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture
- Tightens skin on face, neck, body, and delicate areas
- Improves cellulite dimples and texture irregularities
- Minimal pain and discomfort during and after treatment
- Safe for all skin types
It’s important to note that Renuvion is not a weight loss treatment. It’s designed to tighten and smooth the skin, but it won’t remove significant amounts of fat or replace a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR RENUVION SKIN TIGHTENING
Renuvion skin tightening is a revolutionary treatment designed to address skin laxity and improve the overall appearance. Ideal candidates for this minimally invasive procedure include:
- Individuals with sagging skin due to aging, weight loss, or other factors
- Those seeking a non-surgical solution to skin tightening
- Individuals in good overall health, with no underlying conditions that could affect the healing process
- Those with realistic expectations about the results of the procedure
During a personalized consultation, Dr. Ravi will determine if you are a good candidate for Renuvion. He will tailor a customized treatment plan based on your cosmetic goals and expectations.
THE RENUVION PROCEDURE
The Renuvion procedure involves several steps, each meticulously performed to ensure optimal results and patient safety. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Ravi will assess your skin laxity, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for the Renuvion treatment.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is typically administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure and provide an easier recovery. If Renuvion is combined with other procedures, such as high-volume liposuction, then the patient must undergo general anesthesia.
- Incision and Treatment: Stealth access incisions are made in natural skin creases to minimize visible scarring. The Renuvion device is then inserted through these incisions. The device delivers a mixture of radiofrequency energy and helium gas to the subdermal tissues, causing isotonic shrinkage and skin tightening.
- Closure: The incisions are then closed, and the treatment area is bandaged.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, Dr. Ravi will provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
RENUVION TREATMENT RECOVERY
Following a Renuvion treatment, patients can expect minimal downtime and a quick recovery period.
Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the treatment site, but these side effects are typically temporary and resolve within a few days. Patients are typically able to resume their regular activities within 24-48 hours post-procedure. To enhance recovery and optimize the aesthetic result, compression garments, and lymphatic massages may be recommended. It’s also essential to follow Dr. Ravi’s post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.

Renuvion Skin Tightening Results
Renuvion skin tightening treatment is known for its impressive and long-lasting tightening results. The dual thermal effect causes the collagenous tissue in treated areas to contract, leading to visibly tightened and smoothed skin.
While results are immediately visible, the full benefits become fully apparent over many months as the body produces new collagen. Patients enjoy the tightening effects for up to 5 years, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps prolong the longevity of the Renuvion treatment results.
