What Is Renuvion?

Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a minimally invasive skin tightening technology that uses a controlled combination of cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to firm and contour lax skin. Unlike surgical procedures that remove excess tissue through incisions, Renuvion works beneath the skin's surface to stimulate immediate contraction and long-term renewal.

How It Works

Renuvion delivers energy through a thin device inserted just under the skin. When helium gas is energized by radiofrequency, it forms a cool atmospheric plasma that transfers precise thermal energy to the fibrous septae and collagen fibers beneath the skin. This heat causes immediate contraction, tightening the skin almost instantly while triggering ongoing collagen production for continued improvement over time.

Renuvion can be applied to a variety of regions where skin laxity is a concern:

During your consultation at our Woodmere office, Dr. Bienstock will evaluate your concerns and recommend the areas best suited to Renuvion.

Before Your Treatment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Bienstock. He will assess your skin laxity, discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and determine if Renuvion is the best option for you.
Once your treatment plan is established, you will receive detailed instructions to prepare. These may include guidelines on medications, diet, and stopping smoking well in advance. Any questions are addressed so you feel confident and informed on the day of your appointment.

During the Procedure

Renuvion is performed as an outpatient procedure. Depending on the treatment area and your individual needs, local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Dr. Bienstock makes a series of tiny incisions, typically only a few millimeters long, in carefully chosen locations. These small access points allow the Renuvion device to be inserted beneath the skin while keeping visible scarring to a minimum.
A thin handheld probe is gently guided beneath the skin to deliver a precise combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy. The treatment is performed in controlled passes to target areas of skin laxity while protecting the surrounding tissues.

Renuvion Recovery Process

Because Renuvion is minimally invasive, most patients experience significantly less downtime than with a traditional surgical lift. Recovery varies depending on the treatment area and the extent of the procedure, but a typical timeline includes:

Mild swelling, bruising, soreness, and a feeling of tightness are common. Compression garments may be recommended for body treatments to minimize swelling and support healing.
Swelling and bruising generally begin to improve. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities and short walks, although strenuous exercise should still be avoided.
Many patients return to work and most normal routines. The treated area may still feel firm, numb, or slightly tender as internal healing continues.
Residual swelling continues to decrease, revealing early improvements in skin tightness and contour. Patients can typically resume more vigorous physical activity after clearance from Dr. Bienstock.
Collagen remodeling becomes more noticeable, leading to progressively smoother skin and enhanced definition in the treated areas.
Results continue to refine as new collagen develops. Skin quality, elasticity, and overall contour often show ongoing improvement during this period.
Most patients appreciate their full Renuvion results, with long-lasting skin tightening and rejuvenation that can be maintained through a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

Dr. Bienstock will provide personalized post-procedure instructions and follow-up care to help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcome.

Achieving Optimal Results

Renuvion offers a combination of immediate and progressive improvement. The initial tightening from collagen contraction is visible early, while the deeper regenerative response continues to refine your results over the following months.
Many patients notice firming shortly after treatment as the skin responds to the initial contraction. Full benefits become more apparent as swelling subsides and new collagen forms, with most patients seeing significant improvements within a few weeks and optimal results typically visible at 6 to 12 months post-treatment.
Because Renuvion stimulates your body’s own collagen, results can be long-lasting. The natural aging process will continue, but protecting your skin from sun exposure, maintaining a stable weight, and living a healthy lifestyle help preserve your enhanced contours for many years.

Is Renuvion Right For You?

Renuvion is designed for individuals bothered by mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer a less invasive alternative to a surgical lift, while still desiring a noticeable improvement in firmness and contour. Dr. Bienstock approaches every consultation as a partnership, recommending the plan that fits your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

Good candidates for Renuvion generally:
  • Have mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as the neck, arms, abdomen, or thighs.
  • Are in good overall health with no serious conditions that could impair healing.
  • Maintain a stable weight.
  • Have realistic expectations about their results.
  • Prefer a minimally invasive option over full surgery.
  • May have undergone liposuction and desire further skin tightening.
  • Do not smoke, or are willing to stop before and after treatment.
Renuvion is a powerful tool, but it is not a substitute for extensive skin removal in cases of severe laxity or a treatment for obesity. Patients with a large amount of excess skin may achieve better outcomes with a surgical procedure, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. During your consultation, Dr. Bienstock will assess your anatomy and guide you toward the approach that delivers natural, proportionate results.

Benefits of Renuvion

Renuvion bridges the gap between non-invasive treatments and full surgery, offering meaningful improvement with less downtime than excisional procedures.
  • Significant skin tightening: Noticeable firming of loose skin.
  • Minimally invasive: Small entry points rather than extensive incisions, meaning less scarring and quicker recovery.
  • Reduced downtime: Many patients return to routine activities faster than after major surgery.
  • Collagen stimulation: Encourages natural renewal for continued, long-term improvement.
  • Versatile treatment: Effective on multiple areas and can be combined with liposuction.
