What Is Renuvion?
Renuvion is an innovative skin tightening treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma to contract and tighten loose skin. By delivering controlled thermal energy beneath the skin’s surface, this treatment triggers immediate tissue contraction and stimulates long-term collagen production. Renuvion:
- Is an FDA-cleared skin-tightening treatment
- Requires minimal incisions and produces minimal scarring
- Creates long-lasting results
- Stimulates long-term collagen production for continued improvement
Renuvion treatment uses a small probe inserted through tiny incisions to release cold helium plasma and RF energy, triggering the tissue to immediately tighten and contract. Because of the controlled injury to the tissue, your body’s natural healing response encourages collagen production, which means your results will continue to enhance over the following 6 to 12 months. For patients looking for noticeable skin tightening without surgery, Renuvion is the best option.
What Areas Can Renuvion Treat?
Renuvion can improve your skin elasticity in a number of areas of the face and body, including:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Neck and jawline
- Upper arms
- Inner and outer thighs
- Lower face and jowls
- Buttocks
- Chest and décolletage
- Knees and thighs

How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion delivers a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and cold helium plasma just beneath the skin’s surface that induces the instant contraction of collagen fibers while simultaneously cooling the tissue to prevent damage. Not only does the skin immediately contract and tighten, but you will continue to see an improvement in the tone, texture, and elasticity of your skin for the next 6 to 12 months. The process is as follows:
- A probe is inserted beneath the skin.
- RF energy heats the fibrous tissue and causes it to tighten.
- Cold helium plasma cools the tissue rapidly to prevent tissue damage and allows for precise targeting of the area.
- The combination of heat and cooling triggers the skin to tighten and contract immediately without damaging the surrounding tissue.
- The process stimulates long-term collagen and elastin production for improved skin quality over time.

What Should You Expect During Renuvion Skin Tightening Treatment?
Renuvion treatment in West Texas is typically performed in the office with the use of a topical anesthetic. Dr. Bridge will explain what you can expect from individual treatment during your consultation, but in general, you can expect Dr. Bridge to:

Renuvion Treatment in Abilene FAQs
Most patients report minimal discomfort during Renuvion treatment. After the procedure, mild discomfort and tightness are common but typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Renuvion has FDA clearance for use to contract the deepest layers of skin as a stand-alone treatment and after liposuction. Many patients also choose Renuvion to help maintain the long-term results of a tummy tuck or facelift.
Renuvion results are long-lasting, as the treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes structural changes in the skin. While your skin will continue to age naturally, most patients enjoy their results for many years.
Renuvion is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to avoid extensive surgery. For significant sagging, excess skin, or a more dramatic transformation, surgical procedures like a facelift or tummy tuck may be more appropriate. Dr. Bridge will assess your needs and recommend the best approach during your consultation.
Renuvion requires only tiny incisions (less than a centimeter), which typically heal with minimal visible scarring. Dr. Bridge places incisions strategically in discreet locations to minimize their appearance.
You will notice immediate skin tightening after your procedure, but your final results develop gradually over 6 to 12 months as collagen remodels and skin continues to contract.
Age alone does not disqualify you from Renuvion. Dr. Bridge evaluates your skin quality, elasticity, and overall health to determine candidacy. Many patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond achieve excellent results with Renuvion.
