Advanced Renuvion Skin Tightening in Tulsa
Renuvion: Revolutionary Skin Tightening
Loose, sagging skin can be one of the most frustrating concerns after weight loss, pregnancy, aging, or even after liposuction. While liposuction is highly effective at removing stubborn fat, it doesn't address the loose skin that often results from aging or weight loss. In some cases, reducing fat volume can actually worsen skin laxity, leaving you with improved contours but disappointing skin texture. If you've experienced this frustration or are concerned about loose skin after body contouring, Renuvion offers an innovative solution that addresses skin laxity directly at the source.
At South Tulsa Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brenda Schiesel offers Renuvion, the #1 trusted body-contouring technology among surgeons. Renuvion is the only device FDA-cleared for use after liposuction and for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue. Using a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma, Renuvion targets loose skin, contracting collagen fibers, and pulling the skin closer to the muscle for a smooth, contoured appearance.

The Technology of the Renuvion Skin Tightening Procedure
How Renuvion Works to Tighten Loose Skin
Loose skin occurs when collagen-rich tissue breaks down, one of the key factors contributing to a loss of skin elasticity. Whether you're a new mom dealing with post-pregnancy changes, celebrating significant weight loss, or experiencing age-related skin laxity, Renuvion is designed to treat loose skin directly at the source.
Renuvion uses advanced technology to deliver transformative results. The Renuvion wand is inserted under the skin through small incisions, typically the same incisions used during liposuction. Once positioned beneath the skin, the device delivers a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to the collagen-rich tissue. This energy contracts the collagen fibers and pulls the skin down, closer to the muscle, for a more contoured appearance. The result is immediate skin tightening that continues to improve over the following months as your body's natural healing process stimulates new collagen production.
Since 2017, over 325,000 people have experienced Renuvion's transformative results. It delivers durable and long-lasting results, allowing patients to look in the mirror and see a renewed version of themselves. Renuvion is the result of decades of research, evidence-based medicine, and clinical data, making it a trusted choice for surgeons and patients alike.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from Renuvion varies depending on the number of areas being treated and whether it's combined with liposuction. Generally, recovery can range from a few days to a few weeks. Like any procedure, your treatment plan may result in a different level of recovery than someone else's, so recovery expectations should always be discussed with Dr. Schiesel based on your unique needs.
You'll be provided with a compression garment to wear over treated areas, which helps minimize swelling, support your healing tissues, and optimize your skin tightening results. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days to a week, with full activity clearance typically given after six weeks, depending on the extent of treatment.
The duration of results varies from patient to patient, though many remain satisfied with their Renuvion results for many years. It's important to understand that it can take 6 to 9 months for the full results to become fully apparent as your skin continues to tighten and new collagen forms. During this time, you'll notice progressive improvement in skin texture, firmness, and overall contour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for Renuvion treatment?
Good candidates for Renuvion are adults in good overall health with mild to moderate skin laxity they want to address. Ideal candidates:
- Are undergoing or have recently undergone liposuction
- Want to prevent or treat loose skin in the treated areas
- Have lost significant weight and are dealing with loose, sagging skin
- Have experienced skin laxity from pregnancy or aging
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Have realistic expectations about results
Renuvion is particularly effective for patients who don't have enough excess skin to warrant surgical excision but have more laxity than can be addressed by non-invasive treatments alone. During your consultation, Dr. Schiesel will evaluate your skin quality, discuss your goals, and determine if Renuvion is the right solution for your concerns or if alternative treatments might be more appropriate.
How is Renuvion different from other skin-tightening treatments?
Renuvion is unique in several important ways. It's the only device FDA-cleared for use after liposuction and for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue. Unlike non-invasive external skin tightening devices that heat the skin from the outside, Renuvion works from beneath the skin, delivering energy directly to the collagen-rich tissue that causes skin laxity. This subdermal approach provides more dramatic, immediate results than external treatments.
Additionally, Renuvion uses a patented combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma, a technology unique to this device. The helium plasma allows for precise, controlled heating that contracts tissue effectively while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.
Can Renuvion be performed without liposuction?
While Renuvion is FDA-cleared for use after liposuction and is most commonly combined with fat removal procedures, it can be performed as a standalone treatment in certain cases where skin tightening is the primary concern. However, combining Renuvion with liposuction typically provides the most comprehensive and dramatic results, as it addresses both excess fat and loose skin simultaneously.
During your consultation, Dr. Schiesel will evaluate your specific concerns and body composition to determine whether Renuvion alone would be sufficient or if combining it with liposuction or other body contouring procedures would better achieve your aesthetic goals.
