Renuvion Skin Tightening Overview
Renuvion skin tightening is an effective and convenient treatment designed to give you the refreshed appearance you’ve always dreamed of. Using ionized gas, it targets the deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen production. The increase in collagen helps tighten your tissue and smooth out stubborn wrinkles. Renuvion is an excellent option for skin tightening in Des Moines if you want noticeable results without invasive procedures.
How It Works
Typically performed after liposuction, Renuvion uses ionized gas to improve your skin’s texture and firmness. The procedure is quite simple. First, we create small incisions in your skin, focusing on areas that aren’t as noticeable. Then, we insert a blunt-tip cannula under your skin and inject the ionized gas to encourage instant skin-tightening effects.
Areas It Can Treat
- Arms
- Abdomen and sides
- Breasts
- Neck
- Thighs
Pre-Care Instructions
- Minimize sun exposure in the week leading up to your treatment.
- Inform us of any medications or supplements you’re taking. You may need to adjust or stop certain products before your procedure.
- Avoid harsh skincare treatments such as retinoids or exfoliants in the week prior.
Post-Care Instructions
- Apply prescribed post-treatment skincare products as directed to support healing.
- Continue to protect your skin using sunscreen daily.
- Keep your skin well-hydrated with moisturizers and proper hydration.
The Recovery Process
What to Expect
After your Renuvion treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treatment areas. This is typically temporary and should dissipate in the next few days. There is little to no downtime required after a session of skin tightening in Des Moines. You can return to your normal activities as soon as you’re comfortable.
Activity
Although downtime is minimal, it’s a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise that may cause excessive sweating for the first few days. When you feel like you’re ready for more intense physical activity, take it slow and make sure to listen to your body.
Bathing
You may shower and cleanse your skin as usual after your Renuvion session, but we advise that you avoid scrubbing the treatment area or getting hot water on it. Instead, gently pat your skin dry and follow specific bathing instructions given by your provider.
Results
Your initial skin-tightening results should appear immediately. However, full effects will develop over the next several months. That’s because your body needs time to produce new collagen and elastin in response to treatment. Most patients notice significant results before the 6-month mark following their skin tightening in Des Moines. The longevity of your results depends on your age and lifestyle, but most patients enjoy the benefits for several years or more.
