A Guide to Skin Tightening After Weight Loss

Renuvion skin tightening combined with micro liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to sculpt the body’s contours through advanced radiofrequency technology and precise fat removal. This dual approach procedure achieves body sculpting without the cutting of skin.

This procedure can often delay or eliminate the need for more invasive surgical procedures such as:

• Arm lift surgery (Brachioplasty)
• Mini tummy tuck surgery (Mini abdominoplasty)
• Thigh lift surgery (Thighplasty)

The treatment works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin using a specialised Renuvion probe to achieve tighter, firmer skin, while leaving the surface intact. The device uses a gentle radiofrequency waveform to convert helium gas into cold plasma for simultaneous heating and cooling.

When combined with targeted micro liposuction, this procedure delivers precise fat removal, enhanced skin tightening and natural looking contours.

Treatment areas can include:

• Upper and lower abdomen
• Flanks
• Back and underside of arms
• Bra line
• Inner and outer thighs
• Chin and neck area
• Buttocks
• Knees

Ideal candidates for Renuvion skin tightening and micro liposuction are those seeking:

• Non-surgical skin tightening for the abdomen, outer and inner thighs, upper back, flanks, arms and neck
• Improved skin appearance, elasticity and firmness
• Minimal scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
• A more refined and sculpted silhouette
• Tighter and lifted skin
• Improved shadows and dimples caused by cellulite
• Reduced fine lines, wrinkles and creepiness of the skin

Combining Renuvion and micro liposuction brings the benefits of both skin tightening and fat removal in a single procedure. While micro liposuction removes excess fat, Renuvion tightens and firms the skin, reducing the potential for sagging or loose skin, which can sometimes occur after fat is removed. This combination leads to smoother, more youthful contours with minimal downtime. Benefits can include:

• Smoother skin
• Tighten and lift skin
• Diminish shadows and dimples caused by cellulite
• Create a more youthful appearance
• Stimulate production of collagen and elastin
• Improved and healthier texture of the skin
• Reduce fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness of the skin
• Smaller scars

Renuvion and micro liposuction is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. As a result, there is minimal downtime required. Immediately post-surgery you can expect to experience mild pain and discomfort which can be managed by over the counter pain killer medication.

Depending on the extent of the liposuction performed and the type of daily activities, you should be able to resume daily activities within 2-10 days and return to gentle exercise after approximately 3 weeks.
