Beyond Liposuction: Plastic Surgery with Energy Devices for Tight Skin & Definition (Renuvion, FaceTite, VASER)

Achieving a refined, sculpted physique is a common goal for many seeking cosmetic surgery. Advances in technology now offer targeted solutions beyond traditional liposuction, providing skin tightening and high-definition contouring. Here’s a closer look at Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER, all available at Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA.

Renuvion: Revolutionary Skin Tightening

Beyond Liposuction: Plastic Surgery with Energy Devices for Tight Skin & Definition (Renuvion, FaceTite, VASER)

Renuvion is a cutting-edge technology that combines helium plasma with radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin dramatically. This combination allows for a precise application of energy, which heats the underlying skin tissues to stimulate collagen production while cooling the surface almost instantly.

Benefits:

Best For:

Patients looking to enhance the skin’s tightness and elasticity without requiring more invasive procedures. It’s particularly beneficial for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who may not want to undergo a bigger surgery like a tummy tuck or an arm lift. It also works well in patients with good skin quality who respond well to collagen stimulation.

FaceTite/BodyTite: Focused Contouring

FaceTite and BodyTite utilize radiofrequency to tighten the skin. This technology delivers controlled heating to the targeted fat cells and surrounding tissue, causing fat to liquefy for easier removal and stimulating collagen for skin contraction.

Benefits:

Best For:

Individuals seeking more defined contours with additional skin tightening. It’s particularly effective for those with moderate skin laxity and localized fat deposits, offering a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive surgeries.

VASER: High-Definition Liposuction

VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction is a technique that uses ultrasonic waves to break apart fat cells before removal. This technology allows for selective targeting of fat, preserving surrounding tissues and promoting smoother results.

Benefits:

Best For:

Patients aiming for a sculpted, athletic appearance. It is also beneficial in patients seeking revision liposuction or who had previous surgery in the area being treated. VASER is ideal for creating sharp contours and revealing underlying muscle tone, often called “high-definition” liposuction.

When to Consider These Technologies

Choosing between Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER depends on your specific goals, the areas you wish to address, and your skin condition. Here’s Dr. Jones's Quick Guide:

The decision between Renuvion and BodyTite is mostly a surgeon's preference. I have personally used both, but I like Renuvion more. It’s easier to use and does not take as much time. As a result, I can offer skin tightening at a lower cost to my patients.

Vaser is often used for patients looking to have a more sculpted look. However, it can also be used in any liposuction case for a more refined look. Any patient undergoing liposuction can benefit from Vaser application as it aids in minimizing swelling, provides a smoother result, and reduces bruising.

The Science Behind the Results

All three technologies harness radiofrequency, helium plasma or ultrasonic energy to target fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This dual approach removes unwanted fat and encourages the skin to contract and tighten, addressing the issue of skin laxity that can sometimes follow fat removal.

Conclusion

At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, Renuvion, FaceTite/BodyTite, and VASER are all powerful tools that can elevate liposuction results, offering patients a range of options to achieve their desired aesthetic results. By understanding each technology's unique benefits and applications, patients can make informed decisions about their cosmetic surgery journey. Schedule your consultation today!
