Scarless Body Contouring with Renuvion |
Dr. John Burns Dallas
Patients today want transformative results without scars or long recovery times. Enter Renuvion®, an FDA-cleared skin tightening technology that is revolutionizing body contouring. By tightening skin from the inside without external incisions, Renuvion delivers firmer, smoother contours without the trade-off of scars from traditional excisional surgery.
According to the latest industry reports, skin tightening and body contouring are among the fastest-growing categories in aesthetics. Renuvion leads this trend by offering patients a scarless, minimally invasive alternative that works in harmony with advanced liposuction techniques.
What Is Renuvion?

Renuvion® is the first and only FDA-cleared device for subcutaneous skin tightening. It has quickly become a preferred option for patients who want:
• Scarless results
• Shorter recovery compared to traditional surgery
• Immediate skin tightening with ongoing improvement over time.
Unlike creams, lasers, or energy devices that only affect superficial skin, Renuvion works beneath the surface, contracting tissue and stimulating collagen to restore firmness where it’s needed most.
How Renuvion Works
Renuvion combines three advanced technologies in a single device:
1. Helium Gas – Provides controlled cooling for precision and safety.
2. Cold Plasma Energy – Created from helium gas to contract subdermal tissue immediately.
3. Radiofrequency (RF) Energy – Stimulates long-term collagen remodeling for months after treatment.
The synergy of plasma and RF energy creates instant contraction and continued improvement, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful over time.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Renuvion?
Renuvion is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want skin tightening without scars or excisions. Ideal candidates include:
• Post-pregnancy patients with abdominal laxity
• Aging patients with skin looseness in the neck, arms, or thighs
• Weight loss patients, especially after GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® or Wegovy®, which can leave behind loose skin
• Precision liposuction patients who want enhanced tightening for smoother contours
• Secondary liposuction patients with contour irregularities or uneven skin tone

Body Areas That Benefit from Renuvion
Renuvion is highly versatile and can be used in many areas where skin laxity is most visible:
• Neck & Jawline – Defines contours, reduces sagging, improves neck bands
• Arms – Treats “bat wings” without long brachioplasty scars
• Abdomen & Flanks – Smooths and firms skin after pregnancy or weight loss
• Buttocks & Thighs – Lifts and reshapes the lower body for a more athletic silhouette



Renuvion and Liposuction: A Perfect Pair
One of Renuvion’s greatest advantages is how well it pairs with liposuction.
• Liposuction removes fat, but sometimes the skin doesn’t contract fully, leading to laxity or rippling.
• Renuvion tightens skin internally, correcting irregularities and leaving smoother contours.
For secondary liposuction cases, where patients may have residual laxity or uneven results, Renuvion provides a powerful solution.
At his Dallas practice, Dr. John Burns often combines VASER high-definition liposuction with Renuvion to achieve maximum precision, definition, and skin tightening — results that traditional liposuction alone cannot deliver.
Renuvion Recovery: What Patients Can Expect
Recovery with Renuvion is significantly shorter and less invasive than excisional procedures. Patients typically experience:
• Downtime: About 1 week, depending on treatment areas
• Pain: Mild to moderate, managed with non-narcotic medication
• Swelling & Bruising: Common, gradually improving over several weeks
• Compression Garments: Often recommended to support healing and contour
• Results Timeline: Noticeable tightening right away, with progressive improvement for up to 6–9 months as collagen rebuilds
