Renuvion Rancho Cucamonga
Meet the world’s first RF energy + cold helium plasma treatment
Until we discover the fountain of youth, reversing signs of aging requires a little expert help—and some pretty amazing technology. One of the latest developments we’re excited to offer here at Inland Cosmetic Surgery is Renuvion®, a minimally invasive option for facelift-like results, firming the thighs, and even smoothing and tightening the tummy. Read on to learn all about this exciting solution.

How does Renuvion work?
The Renuvion device combines two different energy-based technologies to shrink fatty tissues below the skin and induce tissue contraction for a smoother, younger contour and appearance.
- Radiofrequency energy (RF) heats deep tissues below the skin’s surface to trigger collagen production and help skin become thicker, firmer, and smoother gradually.
- Cold helium plasma, which is helium gas that has been electrically charged to convert to plasma, is used to rapidly cool tissues as they are treated with RF and protect surrounding tissues.
By combining the tightening power of RF with the fast cooling of cold helium plasma, the Renuvion device is able to heat the tissues to a much higher temperature than traditional RF devices, meaning we are able to safely and comfortably treat more severe sagging during a single treatment—all while keeping your recovery to a minimum.
- Key Benefits
- Glossary
- Skin Tightening: Renuvion effectively tightens loose or sagging skin, providing a more youthful and toned appearance.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is less invasive compared to traditional surgical methods of skin tightening, resulting in less scarring and a lower risk of complications.
- Quick Recovery Time: Recovery from Renuvion is typically faster than from more invasive cosmetic surgeries.
- Immediate and Long-Lasting Results: Many patients notice immediate improvements with results continuing to develop over several months and often lasting for years.
- Precision: Renuvion allows for precise targeting of specific areas, making it ideal for both small and larger areas in need of skin tightening.
- Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The treatment smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to a rejuvenated skin appearance.
- Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Renuvion can enhance the overall texture and tone of the skin, leading to a more uniform and smoother skin surface.
- Minimal Downtime: Due to its minimally invasive nature, Renuvion usually requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities relatively quickly.
- Versatility: It can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and legs.
- Can Be Combined with Other Procedures: Renuvion can be used in combination with other cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction, for enhanced body contouring results.
- Collagen: A vital protein in connective tissues, crucial for skin elasticity and firmness, stimulated by Renuvion to tighten skin.
- Helium Plasma: An energized form of gas used in Renuvion, combined with radiofrequency energy to create a unique thermal skin tightening effect.
- J-Plasma: Previously used name for Renuvion technology, combining cold helium plasma with radiofrequency energy for cosmetic skin tightening.
- Minimally Invasive: A key feature of Renuvion, referring to procedures requiring smaller incisions and less tissue disruption compared to traditional surgery.
- Radiofrequency Energy: High-frequency electrical currents used in medical procedures; Renuvion combines this with helium plasma for effective skin tightening.
- Recovery Time: The healing period post-procedure, typically shorter for Renuvion compared to more invasive surgeries.
- Skin Elasticity: The ability of the skin to stretch and return to its original state, improved by Renuvion through collagen stimulation.
- Skin Rejuvenation: The process of making skin appear younger and more radiant, a primary benefit of Renuvion treatment.
- Subcutaneous: Referring to the layer of tissue directly under the skin, targeted in Renuvion procedures for effective skin tightening.
- Subdermal Tissue: The tissue layer beneath the skin’s surface, specifically targeted by Renuvion for rejuvenation and tightening.
What can Renuvion treat?
Renuvion is a versatile device that we can use to target loose tissues, crepey skin, and small areas of fat virtually anywhere on the face or body, including:
- Eyelids, forehead, and between the brows
- Lower cheeks and jawline (jowls)
- Neck and chest/décolletage
- Breasts
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Inner or outer thighs
What is Renuvion treatment like?
Once you’ve met with one of our cosmetic surgeons and determined Renuvion is a great fit for you, your treatment will be performed at our surgical facility using either general anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation, or local-only anesthetic. This will depend on the area you are having treated, the severity of the sagging, and if you are having more than one area performed. We’ll discuss the appropriate form of anesthesia for your needs with you as we develop your treatment plan.
Once you’re comfortable and anesthetized, your cosmetic surgeon will begin by making one or more very small incisions in your area of concern that will allow insertion of the Renuvion probe just beneath the skin for targeted treatment. The probe emits RF energy to heat tissues and helium plasma to cool them in almost immediate succession. Your surgeon will have complete control over the temperature, location, and timing of the device to ensure safe and effective treatment.
After your procedure, you’ll be able to return home to recover, with a small bandage over the incision sites and/or a compression garment depending on the areas treated.
Renuvion Q&A with Dr. Haiavy
In this video, Dr. Haiavy shares how this RF and helium plasma technology works, along with real patient before and after results.
Is there downtime after Renuvion?
Most of our patients only need a few days of R&R after their face or body Renuvion treatment, though patients who receive a more extensive treatment may need a week or two before they feel comfortable socializing while the skin heals.
It’s normal to experience some soreness, swelling, and redness for several days after your procedure, though they should gradually subside starting three to four days after treatment. During your consult, your surgeon and their medical team will explain exactly what to expect, aftercare instructions, and how to support your healing process based specifically on your procedure plan.
When will I see results after Renuvion?
One of the best parts of the use of RF energy is that you get two rounds of results: the initial skin contraction and improvements in skin texture in firmness within just a few days and then continued improvement over several months as any residual swelling goes away and your body produces new collagen in the area. Most of our patients begin getting truly excited about the results they see around the one- to two-month mark.
After your initial Renuvion treatment, you should be able to enjoy your results for a long time to come. Because the procedure induces your body’s natural tissue remodeling and collagen-building processes, your results won’t just “wear off” after a certain amount of time. Rather, it’s like resetting the clock to an earlier time and then continuing to age from there. As the natural aging process continues, you may want to repeat treatment to maintain your results over the years.
