How Does Renuvion Work?

Renuvion is a truly innovative, precise procedure that can produce outstanding results. After the Liposuction procedure, Renuvion is used as a finishing effect to tighten and tone the skin. How it works: The handheld device is inserted between the outer layer of skin and the underlying muscles. It delivers helium gas and radiofrequency (RF) energy, which converts to plasma. Renuvion quickly heats to the ideal temperature to shrink the skin tissue in the targeted areas, revealing a more toned and youthful appearance. Then the tissue is cooled in less than one second. This method safely and gently tightens loose skin on the stomach at a level unrivaled by laser, radiofrequency, and ultrasound treatments. Renuvion kickstarts the healing and collagen-producing process to further tighten the skin over 6-9 months.

Fortunately, alternatives like Renuvion can avoid an invasive tummy tuck surgery and the resulting hip-to-hip scar. Patients often look years younger and pounds lighter after the Liposuction with Renuvion procedure.

The Liposuction with Renuvion Procedure

This procedure completely avoids surgery. Only small nicks (“freckle indents”) in the skin (no stitches) and a tiny injection cannula are needed. Local anesthesia is administered, similar to what is provided at a dentist’s office. Recovery time is fairly short, with most patients back to work after 3-4 days.

Depending on the number and size of the areas, the procedure lasts approximately three hours, and steps include:

  • A saline solution containing a local anesthetic is infused on the area to be treated so that patients stay comfortable.
  • Next, a very small 3-5mm incision is made in the skin. A tiny cannula (tube) delivers a precise stream of energy underneath the skin and directly into the fat cells. This causes the fat cells to burst, and the fat is gently suctioned out of the body. Heat from the device results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising. It causes you to heal faster, and there are no stitches.
  • During the Renuvion skin tightening procedure, the Renuvion wand is inserted beneath the skin through the small incisions. The wand emits helium gas and radiofrequency energy, which contracts collagen in your skin and tones remaining fat deposits.

Candidates for Liposuction with Renuvion Skin Tightening

Liposuction with Renuvion has been performed on men and women, ranging in age from 20-70+, who want to reduce fat and improve their skin quality. The procedure is ideal for anyone who has:

  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) under 30
  • Stubborn fat around midsection after having children
  • Mild to moderate sagging skin from aging or weight loss
  • Seen little to no results from diet and exercise

Some patients have larger or multiple areas to address, which can be effective with Liposuction and Renuvion. The procedure is not for everyone and is not a treatment for obesity or removing excess skin.

Frequently Asked Liposuction with Renuvion Questions

If you’re deciding between Renuvion and a surgical tummy tuck, both are very effective but approach skin laxity differently. The plasma energy in the Renuvion wand triggers collagen production, causing tighter and firmer skin. Loose belly skin is removed during the tummy tuck procedure and stitches are used, leaving a visible scar. Downtime is also longer after a tummy tuck procedure, and most patients recover over a long weekend with Renuvion.

At Lumen, you and Dr. Kwak can discuss the difference between Renuvion and a tummy tuck. He will evaluate the areas of concern and help you understand the benefits and limitations of each procedure. Dr. Kwak takes the time to listen to his patients and develop a customized plan to achieve your best possible results.

During your consultation with Dr. Andrew Kwak, founder of The Lumen Center, he will listen to your concerns and learn about your body goals. He will ask you about your general health, medical history, and allergies. Then Dr. Kwak will examine the areas of concern and take photos to create a customized treatment plan. He will answer any questions you have, discuss what you can expect and how the SmartLipo and Renuvion technology works. If you decide to move forward, you will receive detailed instructions on preparing for your procedure and what to expect during and after the treatment.

The SmartLipo with Renuvion procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure in The Lumen Center office in Bryn Mawr, PA. 

Doctors often report noticeable results to the skin texture after the procedure. And the results will keep getting better! Full results are expected over the next 6-9 months as the body goes through the healing process. You’ll experience additional tightening and improvements in skin quality.

Typically, a single treatment is needed to reach the desired result. And multiple treatment areas can be addressed in the same session. You will receive a customized treatment plan to meet your body contouring goals.

Phone calls, consultations, photos and procedure were done with care. The staff is fab and you can tell they love their work just by the way they handle you. Girls you better go see Dr. Kwak and the team. It’s worth it for real. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is truly a gem hidden in the suburbs! Dr. Kwak's team is personal, professional, friendly, and will do everything to put you at ease. I passively mentioned my goals for the smartlipo procedure during the consultation, but the team members remembered and have done a great job with it. The aftercare instructions are clear and easy to follow, and I even feel like I recovered ahead of schedule. I rarely write reviews, but I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking Dr. Kwak and his team's services!

I had the laser lipo procedure at the Lumen Center on June 8, 2023. Overall, my experience at the Lumen Center was great. The staff is exceptional! They are very friendly, professional, supportive. The staff made me feel very comfortable. They went over what was to be expected after the procedure. They closely followed up with me after the procedure to check up on how I was feeling. I was prescribed controlled pain medication...I only took one dose of the 20 tablets that was prescribed. I did not really need it. For mild pain I took Tylenol as needed for 5 days after the procedure. I am very satisfied with the result. Last week I wore a dress to church. It was the first time I look and feel so good in a dress....I did not know that I had curve👏. In addition to looking and feeling good, my vision is better, my fasting blood sugar is low on the normal range. I had consultation for laser lipo at 2 places. I decided to have the procedure at the Lumen Center because the staff made me feel comfortable, and welcoming. I wish I had done it sooner. Thank you Dr. Kwak and all the wonderful staff of the Lumen Center💐

Let me tell you, my experience with Dr. Kwak and his staff at the Lumen Center has been beyond amazing. I had lipo and a BBL and I would do it 10x over if I could. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and supportive from start to finish. They were available 24/7 for my many questions. They did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and safe. I have told anyone that will listen how amazing my experience was. I was blown away at how easy it was and how quick my recovery was. I was back at work 5 days later. I went to eat the same day if my procedure. I didn’t even have to use pain medication once. Dr. Kwak was honest with me and took his time to achieve what I wanted. Worth every penny! I have fallen in love with the staff and I’m so happy I made the decision. 5 stars doesn’t do them justice.

I cannot express in words how STELLAR this place is. I recently went in for a hair transplant and the staff and Dr. Kwak are phenomenal. They are all very funny and real and personable. The office feels more like you're talking with a group of your friends. They put ZERO pressure on me during the initial consultation with Dr.Kwak and Rob they're awesome. Absolutely loved Courtney and the gang too- everyone is just so caring and nice. As for the procedure itself, it was a breeze due to their talented crew. I love my results (they even bought me lunch). You are in excellent hands with this place- contact them, you won't be disappointed!

First, let me say this, please do your own research before making any commitment or decision to invest your time, your money, and most importantly your health and well being to any institution providing any kind of service. Secondly, going to the Lumen Center is one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my entire life. And i mean this seriously. They have assisted me with an issue that I have spent most of my adult life trying to fix, my stomach and flank area. This is coming from someone who has spent roughly 30 years actively in the gym. This range from being a personal trainer in my younger days to now, still actively running, boxing and doing martial arts. But never fully looking the way I wanted to look... oh, not to mention intermittent fasting over the last 3 or so years. So for me, time and money well spent. As for personal health, confidence through the roof and still increasing. Thirdly, special shot out and THANKS to the Lumen Staff. Dr Kwack, you're the man hands down. Rob, Sarah, Jen, and all the interns thank you for walking me through the entire process start to finish. And, Megan, Megan, Megan love her infectious loud greetings she hit you with as aoon as you crack that door.

The Recovery Process

The recovery process for the Liposuction with Renuvion procedure is fairly short, with most people only taking 3-4 days off from work. Mild associated discomfort and bruising are common. A compression garment must be worn over the areas where the fat was taken for one month. Recovery time is much shorter with Renuvion compared to more invasive procedures.

Lumen Center patients are carefully monitored post-procedure and at regular checkpoints for up to a year.
