Age-related skin changes and damage from conditions, such as acne, can impact your complexion and self-esteem. People with deep wrinkles, severe scarring and loose facial skin can benefit from Renuvion Plasma treatments. This minimally invasive procedure improves skin texture and tone to minimize or eliminate imperfections. Renuvion Plasma is an FDA-cleared device for skin resurfacing and tightening, also called J Plasma.
Dr. Melinda Lacerna is a double-board-certified plastic surgeon and a well-known Renuvion provider in Western Florida. She has extensive experience using the device for resurfacing and tightening and teaches other plastic surgeons how to use the revolutionary technology at their practices.
Renuvion plasma facial resurfacing can improve multiple concerns, including:
- Sun damage
- Acne scars and other types of facial scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Broken capillaries
How Does Facial Skin Resurfacing With Renuvion Plasma Work?
Considered a deep ablative procedure, this technology combines radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium gas to form a cool beam. This combination creates an ionized state called plasma. The device is inserted just underneath the skin and releases a plasma stream to the treatment area. RF energy works to heat the skin just enough to promote skin contraction while the helium gas cools the tissues.
Renuvion Plasma treatments reactivate collagen production for patients in their 20s through their 70s to provide firmer, more supple skin. It’s safe and effective for the face and other areas, including around the lips and eyes, where other treatments are limited.
Recovery After Renuvion Plasma
Renuvion treatments require two weeks of downtime for skin resurfacing. Dr. Lacerna has patients come in for follow-up appointments every other day during that window to monitor healing and results. The skin should remain smooth with a healthy texture and even tone for two to five years after Renuvion Plasma facial resurfacing, and good skincare and sun protection may extend outcomes.
These resurfacing results are comparable to CO2 lasers and deep chemical peels, but the cool plasma beam of Renuvion carries fewer risks. There’s no concern about cardiac arrhythmias like with the phenol chemical peel or hyperpigmentation like with CO2 laser resurfacing.
Renuvion Plasma Offers Transformative Benefits for Severe Wrinkles and Deep Acne Scars
Severe acne scarring affects your self-confidence, and it’s one of the most notoriously challenging skin concerns to treat. Renuvion Plasma provides excellent results for people with deep acne scars, especially compared to other methods, such as microneedling, chemical peels and injectables.
Renuvion facial skin resurfacing can be used as part of a scarless facelift with Dr. Lacerna. Our plastic surgeon combines Renuvion Plasma treatment with fat grafting to restore a youthful complexion with firmer, tighter and plumper skin.
