A non-surgical tummy tuck with Renuvion Skin Tightening is considered “shrink-wrap” for your skin. While SmartLipo is a superior fat reduction technique, Renuvion can take your results to the next level. This groundbreaking, minimally invasive skin tightening procedure shrinks and sculpts sagging skin without the need for a large incision, extended downtime, or the risks of surgery. Renuvion can remove your excess fat and tone your skin in no time.
Renuvion is a cutting-edge, precise procedure that can deliver exceptional results. It’s frequently used as a finishing effect after the SmartLipo procedure to tighten and tone the skin.
How does Renuvion work? The handheld device is inserted between the skin’s outer layer and the muscles beneath it. It produces plasma by delivering helium gas and radiofrequency (RF) energy. Renuvion heats up quickly to the perfect temperature, shrinking the skin tissue in the targeted areas to reveal a more toned and youthful appearance. The tissue is then cooled in under a second. This method tightens loose skin on the stomach in a way that laser, radiofrequency, and ultrasound treatments can’t match. In addition, Renuvion jumpstarts the healing and collagen-producing processes, tightening the skin even more over the course of 6-9 months.
The main advantage of Renuvion is that it avoids an invasive tummy tuck surgery and the resulting hip-to-hip scar. After the SmartLipo with Renuvion procedure, patients can achieve their ideal shape and a maximum tightening effect.
Surgery is completely avoided with the SmartLipo with Renuvion Skin Tightening procedure. There are only a few small nicks in the skin (no stitches) and a tiny injection cannula required. Local anesthesia is used in the same way that it is in a dentist’s office. The recovery period is relatively short, with most patients returning to work within 3-4 days.
The procedure takes about three hours, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas, and it includes the following steps:
Men and women ranging in age from 20 to 70+ have undergone SmartLipo with Renuvion to reduce fat and improve skin quality. The procedure is ideal for anyone who has:
Some patients have larger or multiple areas to address and can be effective with SmartLipo and Renuvion. Still, the procedure is not appropriate for everyone, nor is it intended to treat obesity or remove excess skin.
Renuvion and a surgical tummy tuck are both very effective, but they take different approaches to skin laxity. The Renuvion wand’s plasma energy stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter, firmer skin. During the tummy tuck procedure, loose belly skin is removed and stitches are used, leaving a visible scar. Tummy tuck recovery time is also longer, with most patients recovering over a long weekend with Renuvion.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss the differences between Renuvion and a surgical tummy tuck. Dr. Andrew Kwak, the founder of LUMEN, will assess your areas of concern and explain the benefits and drawbacks of each procedure. Dr. Kwak takes the time to listen to his patients and develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.
Dr. Kwak will listen to your concerns and learn about your goals during your consultation. He’ll inquire about your general health, medical history, and allergies, among other things. Dr. Kwak will then examine the problem areas and take photos in order to create a personalized treatment plan. He’ll answer any questions you have, go over what to expect, and explain how SmartLipo and Renuvion work.

Doctors frequently report noticeable changes in skin texture following the procedure, and your results will continue to improve over time. The body’s healing process takes 6-9 months to complete. Additional tightening and skin quality improvements should emerge throughout that period.
Typically, only one treatment is required to achieve your desired outcome. Additionally, multiple treatment areas can be addressed in one session. To achieve your body contouring goals, you will be given a personalized treatment plan.
