Renuvion Skin Tightening
Renuvion skin tightening is a cutting edge technology available at the Coppergate Clinic in York. It combines helium plasma and radiofrequency to stimulate tissue shrinkage, tightening and contraction by selectively heating the connective tissues under the skin. Renuvion is minimally invasive with the hand held wand being inserted through small incisions in the skin (the same kind used for liposuction). For some people this can give sufficient tightening and lift to avoid surgical procedures with bigger scars and longer downtime.
Renuvion is often perfomed with VASER liposuction to facilitate and speed the shrinking of the skin after liposuction. Common places for Renuvion to be used include chin/neck (turkey neck), arms (bingo wings), hips/flanks (love handles), chest, abdomen and thighs.
What to Expect on The Day:
The team will welcome you to the clinic and get you settled and relaxed. You will meet the consultant anaesthetist who will discuss the anaethetic with you. We will go through the procedure and discuss the process and sign the consent form. Photographs will be taken before heading to theatre.
Once in theatre and asleep, Mr West will mark the planned incision meticulously to ensure the exact result. Through the skin incisions under the lower eyelid, the fat causing the heavy bags is redraped. Any excess skin is removed before small skin stitches are placed. Antibiotic ointment is applied to the scar.
Following surgery you will be transferred to the dedicated recovery area where you will be looked after by our expert staff. Once you are awake and feeling well we will ensure all aftercare is explained and follow up appointments are arranged before letting you leave.

Frequently asked questions
How does Renuvion work?
Renuvion uses helium plasma and radiofrequency to selectively heat the connective tissues under the skin causing tightening and shrinkage.
How many treatments will I need?
Renuvion is performed in the operating theatre and is a single treatment. Some results are immediate but will continue to develop for several months.
What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?
Sutures are removed after 5 – 7 days and scar massage begins after 2 weeks. Further review appointment is usually made 4-6 weeks after surgery.
When can I start playing sports again?
Light activity is ok after 14 days. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 3 weeks.
Are the results immediate?
Some of the results are visible immediately, once the swelling has settled. The results will continue to develop over several months.
