Renuvion (also known as J-Plasma) is an advanced body contouring technology that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with helium plasma to tighten skin from the inside out. Unlike traditional excisional surgery that requires large incisions to remove skin, Renuvion uses a small wand inserted through tiny incisions to instantly contract the subcutaneous tissue and stimulate long-term collagen production.  

Common Treatment Areas

  • Neck and Jawline: To address loose neck skin or mild jowls.
  • Abdomen: Often used after pregnancy or weight loss to firm loose stomach skin.
  • Arms & Thighs: Targets crepey skin and mild sagging in the upper arms and inner/outer thighs.
  • Back & Chest: Smooths bra-line rolls and chest wall laxity.  

Renuvion is often clinically recommended for patients with mild to moderate laxity who are not yet candidates for major surgery. It provides a safer, lower-risk alternative for those who cannot undergo general anesthesia or long recoveries due to other health factors.

At Wood MediSpa, Renuvion is most commonly added to a surgery package to help retighten skin.

Renuvion and Lipoedema

Wood MediSpa, our dedicated lipoedema service is led by Dr Michael Mouzakis (Dr Mooz), an award-winning plastic surgeon. Specialising in the advanced management of this chronic fat disorder, Dr Mooz combines surgical precision with a holistic care plan to reduce pain and restore mobility. Lipoedema involves a disproportionate accumulation of fat—usually in the legs and arms—that is resistant to traditional diet and exercise. While there is no cure, specialized surgical intervention can halt the progression of symptoms and significantly improve quality of life. Dr Mooz utilises:

  • Vaser Liposuction: Employs ultrasound energy to gently liquefy fat cells before removal, causing less trauma to surrounding tissues.
  • MicroLipo: Uses ultra-fine cannulas to precisely target delicate areas, ensuring minimal scarring.

Renuvion: The Ultimate Finishing Touch

For patients concerned about loose skin following fat removal, Dr Mooz offers Renuvion or Quantum RF skin tightening. This minimally invasive technology works to contract collagen fibres deep beneath the skin.

In the past, removing significant amounts of fat often left patients with the worry of loose or “deflated” skin. Renuvion acts as the bridge between fat removal and a truly polished result with two main targets:

  1. Immediate Contraction: It gently heats the connective tissues beneath your skin, causing collagen fibres to contract instantly.
  2. Long-term Renewal: It triggers your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of fresh collagen over the following months.

An Empathetic Approach to Healing

We understand that for many, this journey isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling “whole” again. Dr Mooz uses Renuvion as a minimally invasive alternative to more aggressive skin-excision surgeries. This means smaller incisions, less scarring, and a gentler recovery process for your body to navigate.

Think of liposuction as the sculptor shaping the clay, and Renuvion as the final glaze that smooths, firms, and secures the masterpiece. It ensures that your skin doesn’t just hang, but rather hugs your new proportions with strength and elasticity.
