How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion, sometimes called J-Plasma, uses a powerful combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin with minimal downtime. In addition to targeting deeper skin layers, it triggers your body’s production of collagen and elastin for firmer-looking skin that continues to improve over time. Renuvion effectively tightens lax skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body. It’s also the only device that’s FDA-cleared for use after liposuction.
Who’s an Ideal Candidate for Renuvion?
As a stand-alone treatment, Renuvion may be right for you if:
- You have loose skin post-pregnancy, after weight loss, or due to aging
- You have mild to moderate skin laxity
- You’re seeking a minimally invasive skin-tightening approach
- You’re in good overall health
- You’re within 5 to 10 pounds of your ideal weight
- You are unable or unwilling to set aside downtime for a more invasive procedure
- You have realistic expectations about your results
If you have significant loose, sagging skin, you may be a better candidate for a surgical facelift, neck lift, arm lift, or tummy tuck. Renuvion is not a replacement for surgery if you have excess hanging skin.
Liposuction vs Renuvion: What’s the Difference?
Liposuction is considered the go-to procedure for removing stubborn, localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Not only is Southeastern Plastic Surgery the first practice in Tallahassee to offer Renuvion, but we’re also the only practice in North Florida and South Georgia to offer VASER liposuction. This advanced technique delivers highly customized body contouring. You can learn more about this “hi-def” liposuction technique in our related blog post.
Performed in conjunction with liposuction, Renuvion helps address loose skin that may remain after fat removal while improving the extent and visibility of your body contouring results.
Combining Renuvion Skin Tightening and Liposuction
Combining Renuvion skin-tightening with liposuction makes sense for patients who want comprehensive body contouring results. You may be a good candidate for Renuvion combined with liposuction if:
- You have excess areas of fat accompanied by skin laxity
- You’re looking for dramatic body contouring results
- You’re seeking smoother, firmer skin after fat removal
- You follow a good skin care regimen and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle

During your personalized consultation, they will recommend a customized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs.
