What Is Renuvion Body Contouring?

SH Plastic Surgery

Renuvion body contouring is a skin-tightening procedure that contracts skin that has lost elasticity and sagged
due to childbirth, dieting, liposuction, aging and similar causes.

Using radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma energy,
it contracts the tissue beneath the skin and stimulates collagen regeneration, slimming loose body contours
and naturally tightening skin and wrinkles.

The key to Renuvion body contouring is creating a structure
in which the skin can contract again to fit the reduced volume.

How Renuvion Works

A tissue contraction system based on helium plasma
Renuvion® Skin Tightening is a technology that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with helium gas
and delivers the resulting plasma energy to the tissue beneath the skin.
It rapidly contracts the fibroseptal network (FSN) and connective tissue to induce a natural tightening effect.

  • 3~4mm micro-cannula access A minimally invasive approach that enters beneath the skin without an incision
  • Helium plasma energy delivery RF combined with helium gas forms stable energy
  • Immediate FSN contraction Tightens the tissue beneath the skin in 3D to induce lifting
  • Rapid cooling system Designed to minimize thermal damage to surrounding tissue
  • Tissue-based tightening Not lifting that pulls the surface, but an approach that reorganizes the structure beneath the skin

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's Renuvion body tightening

To draw a beautiful face, Leonardo da Vinci
did not simply trace its outline.
He divided the face by reference points and analyzed the role of each position.

SH's Renuvion body tightening considers fat reduction and skin elasticity
together to design the most balanced body line.

Why Skin Sags After Fat Loss

Why does skin sag after weight loss?

Body skin sagging
is not caused simply by fat.
It occurs naturally as skin elasticity declines due to childbirth, dieting, liposuction, weight loss, aging and similar causes.

Why?

  • Loose abdomen after childbirth
  • Sagging skin after dieting
  • Excess skin left after liposuction
  • Reduced elasticity after weight loss
  • Body wrinkles from aging

Even when body volume decreases, the skin does not contract right away, so sagging and wrinkles remain.

Fat removal alone cannot solve this.
The key is contraction and restored elasticity of the skin itself.

Mooth Body Contour

Creating a firm body line

It is not simply an add-on to liposuction.
Many clinics describe Renuvion as a supplementary procedure to liposuction.

SH Plastic Surgery, however, approaches Renuvion as a technology that improves body skin sagging
and wrinkles.

Even if your face looks youthful, body wrinkles that remain can still reveal your age.

Renuvion Treatment Areas

Renuvion can be applied to most body areas with skin.
Besides sagging skin, it is also used to improve wrinkles on areas such as the backs of the hands, knees, neck and around the ears.

Why does a key doctor matter for Renuvion?

  1. 1

    Renuvion is a procedure whose results vary with energy depth and intensity,

  2. 2

    so planning by an experienced doctor is important.

Why Surgical Skill Matters

Tightening design based on an understanding of tissue structure

Renuvion delivers energy not to the skin surface but to the tissue layers beneath the skin.

The technique of precisely controlling the position, depth, direction and intensity of energy
therefore has an important effect on results and safety.

Even with the same device, results and recovery can differ depending on technical experience.

Surgical Precision

SH Plastic Surgery aims for more stable and natural results based on tightening design
that considers the tissue structure beneath the skin, not just the skin surface.

  1. Point 01

    Controlling the depth of energy delivery

    The tightening effect and tissue response differ depending on which layer beneath the skin receives the energy.

  2. Point 02

    Contraction design suited to tissue structure

    It is important to understand the fat layer and fascial structure of each facial area and to contract the tissue evenly.

  3. Point 03

    Precise energy control

    Only the necessary tissue should be contracted selectively, while preventing excessive heat transfer.

  4. Point 04

    An anatomy-based approach

    A safe approach that considers blood vessels, nerves and tissue structure determines the stability of results.

Renuvion Q&A

  1. 1

    How is Renuvion different from a surgical lift?

    A surgical lift is surgery that incises the skin, pulls the loose tissue and fixes it.
    Renuvion is a procedure that tightens loose tissue without an incision by contracting the fibroseptal network (FSN) beneath the dermis
    In other words, it is lifting that tightens the tissue itself rather than pulling the skin.

  2. 2

    Is Renuvion approved in Korea and the United States?

    Renuvion is a plasma-based medical device with U.S. FDA approval
    and Korean MFDS approval.
    It is characterized by rapidly contracting tissue using helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF).

  3. 3

    How is Renuvion different from other lifting procedures?

    Lifting procedures act on different tissue layers.
    Ultrasound lifting → stimulates the SMAS
    Radiofrequency lifting → stimulates dermal collagen
    Thread lifting → pulls physically
    Renuvion contracts the fibroseptal network (FSN) between the dermis and fat, tightening the skin and tissue at the same time.

  4. 4

    How long is the recovery period?

    Recovery from Renuvion is relatively fast.
    Right after the procedure: immediate tightening can be felt
    1~2 weeks: most bruising and swelling subsides / daily activities possible
    1~2 months: tissue remodeling progresses / skin elasticity increases
    After 3 months: collagen production is activated

  5. 5

    How long do the results last?

    It varies with individual skin condition, but results can last about 3 ~ 5 years.
    Because Renuvion stimulates collagen regeneration, skin elasticity continues to improve gradually after the procedure.

  6. 6

    Why is Renuvion needed?

    When skin elasticity declines, the fibroseptal network (FSN) that supports the tissue stretches.
    It is like a rubber band that, once stretched, does not return on its own.
    Renuvion contracts the stretched fibroseptal network to help restore skin elasticity.

Caution

Aftercare and Precautions

  • Wearing a compression garment for at least 1 month after the procedure is recommended.
  • Stitches are removed after about 7 days.
  • Washing your face and light daily activities are possible,
  • but please avoid strong stimulation.
  • Strenuous exercise is possible from about 2 weeks after the procedure.
  • It is best to avoid alcohol, saunas and jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses) for about 1~2 weeks.
  • Swelling and bruising subside naturally within 1~2 weeks, depending on the individual.

SH Plastic Surgery's Surgical Principles

Plastic surgery is not simply a technique for changing appearance;
it is medicine that understands the structure and balance of the face.

For natural and stable results, SH Plastic Surgery performs surgery
based on the following principles.

1

We analyze structure first

The eyes, nose and face are not independent structures; they influence each other to form your impression.

SH Plastic Surgery does not look only at the shape of the eyes or nose; we analyze

  • Eyeball position
  • Brow bone structure
  • Facial skeleton
  • Tissue balance

to understand the facial structure first.

2

We value balance over excessive change

The goal of plastic surgery is not to change the face excessively
but to improve its overall balance.

SH Plastic Surgery considers facial proportions and harmony
to pursue natural and stable change.

3

Surgery begins with design

Good results are not suddenly created in the operating room.
We create a design suited to your facial structure through accurate analysis, and the surgery is performed based on that design.

SH Plastic Surgery performs design-based surgery grounded in structural analysis.

4

We consider long-term stability

Results should look natural not only right after surgery but also as time passes.

SH Plastic Surgery chooses the surgical method
with tissue stability and long-term change in mind.

5

Patient safety comes first

The most important thing in plastic surgery is patient safety.

  • A dedicated, accountable medical team
  • Surgeon name disclosure in the operating room
  • Systematic management of the surgical environment

These measures keep the surgical environment safe.
