Gentle Tissue Contraction
Renuvion has been shown to provide controlled coagulation and therefore contraction of soft tissue. With Renuvion, you can achieve more optimal results than with liposuction alone. It can also be an appealing alternative for patients who are seeking a faster, minimally invasive procedure with less risk, faster recovery time, and less scarring.
What Is Renuvion?
Renuvion cosmetic technology delivers a proprietary blend of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to gently contract tissue with exceptional control and precision. A product of years of scientific research, testing, and refinement, the Renuvion system is also an all-in-one electrosurgical unit with full monopolar and bipolar functions, allowing you to save time and space with a single capital investment.
The optimal temperature for subdermal tissue contraction is 85°C, but most standard monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency devices can’t reach this temperature quickly enough without causing a concerning rise in skin temperature. Renuvion, however, heats to 85°C safely with minimal thermal spread and cools to baseline temperatures in less than a second. This maximizes tissue contraction with a shorter application time. Entry points are very small, resulting in less pain, shorter recovery, and minimal scarring.
The Renuvion system has received a general clearance for the cutting, coagulation and ablation soft tissue during open surgical procedures. Renuvion can be used with tumescent or general anesthesia. In a survey of 100 Physician Users, it was reported that Renuvion has been used on a variety of body areas15, including:
Neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, back, knees, chest, buttocks, breast.
Happy Patients. More Revenue.
Renuvion enables you to deliver a better patient experience, expand your capabilities, and attract more patients.
A Matter of Energy
Higher temperatures cause greater tissue contraction (figure 1)
• Collagen contracts predictably when exposed to heat, and higher temperatures cause greater contraction in less time
• To be effective, subdermal tissue must be heated to a minimum of 65°C for significant tissue contraction to occur
Standard radiofrequency devices can’t consistently heat beyond 65°C
• 85°C is a more optimal temperature for tissue contraction, but most standard monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency devices can’t reach this temperature quickly enough without causing a concerning rise in skin temperature Renuvion® heats to 85°C safely, allowing for optimal tissue contraction and faster procedure times
• Renuvion heats up to 85°C just long enough to cause maximum contraction of collagen and can cool back down to baseline temperatures in less than a second (figure 2).
• The rapid heating and cooling of tissue allows for shorter application time.
The unique Renuvion energy— helium plasma and proprietary RF — allows for precisely controlled delivery of heat to tissue, with minimal thermal diffusionRapid heating with near-instantaneous cooling (figure 3) allows for shorter duration of activation, and therefore less diffusion of heat to the skin.
Studies show that when using the recommended techniques, temperature at the surface of the skin does not rise by more than 4°C, making cumbersome external temperature monitoring unnecessary (figure 4)

Figure 4 – Thermal image of the thigh of a 52 year-old female shows minimal rise in skin temperatures during the 4th pass with Renuvion Built On Proven Technology One of the most exciting advancements in energy technology in the past 20 years, the Renuvion system combines the unique properties of cold helium plasma with the efficiency of RF energy. This synergy enables a high degree of precision, and always with minimal thermal effect to surrounding tissue. Renuvion has FDA clearance for the cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures.
