Renuvion Skin Tightening in Los Angeles

What it is

Renuvion uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to help tighten lax tissue. It is frequently combined with liposuction to address mild-to-moderate skin laxity. It is not a replacement for a surgical lift when skin laxity is significant.

Is this for you?

Renuvion may be a fit if you:

• Have mild-to-moderate skin laxity rather than significant excess skin
• Are considering or undergoing liposuction and want to address skin tone
• Are in good general health with realistic goals
• Are a non-smoker (or willing to stop)

What to expect

1. Consultation. Dr. Satey evaluates your skin laxity and whether Renuvion — alone or with liposuction — is appropriate.
2. Procedure. Energy is delivered beneath the skin to tighten lax tissue, under a tailored anesthesia plan, often alongside liposuction.
3. Recovery. Often combined with the recovery of the accompanying procedure; your specific timeline is reviewed beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Is Renuvion a substitute for a tummy tuck or arm lift?

No. When there is significant loose skin, an excisional procedure is usually more appropriate. Renuvion addresses milder laxity and is often combined with liposuction. Dr. Satey advises based on your skin.

How long is recovery?

It varies and is often tied to the procedure it accompanies (e.g., liposuction). Your specific timeline is reviewed beforehand.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on your goals, the technique used, and what’s involved in your individual plan, so pricing is reviewed during your consultation. Financing options are available.

Is it safe? Who performs the procedure?

Every procedure is performed by Dr. Sean Satey, a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon who is board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery. Your candidacy, anesthesia, and risks are reviewed in detail at your consultation.
