Renuvion® Skin Tightening
Liposuction can do a lot, but removing fat is only part of the equation. What happens to the skin left behind? For many patients, loose or lax skin remains even after fat is successfully removed, making it difficult to fully appreciate their results. Renuvion skin tightening addresses exactly that. By working beneath the surface to firm and tighten skin from the inside out, Renuvion takes body contouring to the next level. At Najera Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, our double board-certified plastic surgeon in Frisco, Dr. Robert Najera (“Dr. Dallas”), performs Renuvion using the advanced AYON® system, a cutting-edge platform that combines liposuction and skin tightening into one streamlined, precise procedure. Think of it as liposuction, upgraded.
Renuvion Skin Tightening At a Glance
- Potential Benefits:
- Tightens loose or lax skin following liposuction or weight loss, improves body contour and definition, and enhances overall results when combined with fat removal.
- Ideal Candidates:
- Patients who are often eligible for this treatment are individuals experiencing skin laxity after significant weight loss or liposuction who are able to achieve a smoother, firmer contour without additional major surgical procedures such as body lifting treatments.
- Recovery Timeline:
- Recovery varies by individual and the extent of treatment. Most patients follow a recovery timeline similar to liposuction, with gradual improvement in skin tightness over the weeks and months following the procedure.
- Cost:
- The cost of Renuvion + Liposuction 360 at our practice typically starts at approximately $13,000. Although that combination of treatments is our provider’s most popular and preferred method, pricing ultimately depends on the areas treated, whether Renuvion is performed alongside liposuction, and other components of the customized treatment plan. A personalized quote can be provided during the consultation.
- Surgeon:
- With over 15 years in practice and a special focus in body contouring, Dr. Najera (Dr. Dallas) is among a select group of surgeons in the Dallas-Fort Worth area trained and equipped to perform Renuvion using the state-of-the-art AYON system.
What Are the Benefits of Renuvion Skin Tightening?
One of the most common frustrations after significant fat loss is skin that doesn’t quite snap back on its own. Renuvion was developed specifically to address this. Using a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy delivered just beneath the skin’s surface, Renuvion causes immediate tissue contraction and stimulates ongoing collagen production for continued tightening over time.
When performed as part of Dr. Dallas’s AYON-assisted liposuction approach, Renuvion allows fat removal and skin tightening to be addressed together in a single, cohesive treatment plan. Common benefits typically include improved skin firmness, smoother contouring, enhanced body definition, and more complete overall results compared to liposuction alone.
Am I a Candidate for Renuvion Skin Tightening?
Renuvion may be well-suited for patients who have areas of loose or lax skin resulting from liposuction, rapid weight loss, or natural aging, and who are looking for options to improve skin quality and contour without the recovery associated with more extensive surgical procedures like a lower body lift. Good candidates are in overall good health, at or near a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about what skin tightening can accomplish. During your consultation, Dr. Najera will evaluate your skin quality, the areas of concern, and your overall goals to determine whether Renuvion is the right fit for your treatment plan.
What Does the Renuvion Procedure Involve?
At Najera Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, Renuvion is typically performed using the AYON system, an advanced body contouring platform that consolidates multiple surgical tools into one integrated device. Where traditional liposuction setups require separate systems for fat removal, fluid management, aspiration, and skin treatment, AYON combines all of these functions into a single platform designed to improve precision, efficiency, and patient safety.
A key feature of the AYON system is its patented LIFT Technology (Lipo Intelligent Frequency Tracking), which supports controlled energy delivery and fluid management throughout the procedure, helping to minimize unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissue. Renuvion energy is delivered just below the skin’s surface through small entry points, causing the tissue to contract and tighten. The procedure is usually performed alongside liposuction and is tailored to the specific areas being treated.
What Can I Expect During Renuvion Skin Tightening Recovery?
Recovery following Renuvion is generally similar to liposuction recovery. Some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected in the initial days following treatment. A compression garment is typically worn to support healing and help the skin conform to its new contour. Results should continue to improve over time as the skin tightens and collagen remodeling takes place, with many patients noticing continued refinement over several months. Dr. Najera and his team provide detailed post-operative instructions to support the smoothest recovery possible.
How Much Does Renuvion Skin Tightening Cost?
The price of Renuvion + Liposuction 360 at Najera Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery generally starts at about $13,000. The total cost varies depending on the areas being treated, whether the procedure is performed in combination with liposuction, and other unique factors associated with the personalized treatment plan. Our provider’s preferred (and most popular) treatment method is Renuvion + Liposuction 360, which is a more comprehensive midsection liposuction procedure. A detailed, personalized cost breakdown will be provided at your consultation. For those who are interested in paying for their procedure over time, financing is available through CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit for qualified applicants.
