About Renuvion
Procedure Quick Facts


- Dramatically Tightens Lax Skin Without Large ScarsRenuvion contracts tissue from the inside, requiring only tiny entry points that heal nearly invisibly, so you can enjoy smoother contours without the tell-tale signs of surgery.
- Single In-Office Session With Minimal DowntimeMost patients need just one 30-60-minute treatment and are back to daily activities within a week, making Renuvion convenient for busy lifestyles.
- Versatile Treatment Areas From Neck to KneesWhether you’re bothered by a post-baby tummy, crepey arms, or loose skin under the chin, Renuvion can safely firm multiple body and facial zones.
- Collagen Stimulation for Progressive, Long-Term ImprovementBeyond the immediate tightening, the thermal effect jump-starts collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin that continues to refine for months.
- Pairs Seamlessly With Liposuction for Enhanced ContouringWhen combined with fat removal, Renuvion helps the overlying skin retract to your slimmer shape, reducing the risk of post-lipo laxity.
- Boosts Confidence and Clothing FitSmoother, tighter skin often means feeling more comfortable in fitted styles and swimwear, allowing you to move through life with renewed self-assurance.

Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Song or Dr. Benyamein. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether Renuvion is the right solution for your concerns.
During your consultation, your surgeon will:
• Review your medical history and any previous procedures
• Examine skin quality, laxity, and underlying fat
• Discuss treatment options, including combination procedures
• Explain anesthesia choices and recovery expectations
• Answer all of your questions with transparency
Together, you'll create a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and lifestyle, with safety and realistic outcomes as the priority.
The Renuvion Procedure
Renuvion is typically performed under local anesthesia with oral sedation, though IV or general anesthesia can be arranged for larger areas or combined procedures.
During the procedure:
• Small 3-4 mm entry points are marked and numbed
• A slender cannula delivers helium gas beneath the skin
• Radiofrequency energizes the gas, creating cool plasma
• Controlled passes contract tissue until optimal tightening is achieved
The tiny openings are closed with a single absorbable suture or steri-strip, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
Renuvion Recovery Timeline
Recovery experiences vary, but most patients follow a similar general timeline.

Renuvion Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how surgical technique, anatomy, and healing affect Renuvion results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Because Renuvion works under the surface, it tightens without pulling the skin unnaturally. Our surgeons adjust energy settings and cannula passes according to the thickness of your tissue, ensuring even contraction and smooth contours. Your own collagen does the heavy lifting, so results look like a naturally firmer version of you—never over-treated or artificial.
Individual anatomy plays a crucial role. Areas with good underlying support respond exceptionally well, while very thin or heavily sun-damaged skin may need a combination approach. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as stable weight and sun protection, supports lasting, natural results.
Where Are the Incisions?
Renuvion uses tiny 3-4 mm entry points placed strategically in natural creases or hidden locations.
Under the chin for neck or jawline treatment
Incisions are carefully planned to follow natural contours and are closed with precision to support proper healing and minimize long-term visibility.
Is Scarring a Concern?
All procedures involving skin entry create some form of scar, but Renuvion's entry points are typically smaller than a pencil eraser. With appropriate care, these marks fade to faint dots that most patients find hard to locate over time.
Scar Healing Timeline
As your body heals, scars will change gradually over time:
- Weeks 1-2 Scars may appear red and slightly raised
- Months 1-3 Scars typically soften and begin to flatten
- Around 6 months Noticeable fading often occurs
- 1-2 years Scars may continue to lighten and become less noticeable
Following post-operative instructions and recommended scar care plays an important role in how scars mature.
Understanding Risks and Safety

Understanding Risks and Safety
Renuvion is generally safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited surgical facility. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks to be aware of.
Potential risks may include:
- Fluid accumulation (seroma or hematoma)
- Infection at the entry sites
- Temporary numbness or altered sensation
- Asymmetry or irregular contour
- Skin burn or thermal injury
- Anesthesia-related complications
Your surgeon will review these risks with you in detail during your consultation and explain how they are minimized through careful planning, surgical technique, and follow-up care.
Reducing Your Risk
Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe Renuvion experience include:
- Thorough pre-operative evaluation
- Precise surgical planning tailored to your anatomy
- Surgery performed in a fully accredited facility
- Detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care
By choosing an experienced surgical team and following recovery guidelines closely, most patients heal well and are satisfied with their Renuvion results.
The cost of your procedure will vary based on a variety of factors. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss your desired outcomes in detail and provide a fully transparent breakdown of all associated costs. Our practice helps patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a variety of financing options.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.

Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
