Renuvion in Newport Beach
Conveniently located to serve Newport Beach and the surrounding areas of Orange County, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, and Irvine


Renuvion Overview
Loose skin can develop for various reasons – aging, genetics, weight changes, or pregnancy – and traditional topical treatments often provide limited improvement for addressing these concerns. When surgical procedures seem too extensive for the degree of skin laxity you're experiencing, or when you prefer a minimally invasive approach, you may find yourself looking for alternatives that offer meaningful results without significant downtime or scarring.
Renuvion, formerly known as J-Plasma, represents a significant advancement in skin tightening technology that bridges the gap between topical treatments and surgical procedures. This FDA-cleared technology uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to contract skin from beneath the surface, providing immediate tightening with continued improvement over time as new collagen develops.

Why Choose Dr. Roham for Renuvion?
The success of Renuvion treatment depends heavily on proper patient selection and precise technique, requiring a thorough understanding of skin anatomy, healing patterns, and realistic assessment of what the technology can and cannot achieve. Dr. Roham's comprehensive surgical background provides the foundational knowledge necessary to evaluate skin quality, determine appropriate treatment areas, and execute the procedure with the precision required for optimal outcomes.
His approach prioritizes honest assessment of whether Renuvion will provide meaningful improvement for your specific concerns, understanding that not every patient with skin laxity is an appropriate candidate for this technology.

What is Renuvion?
Renuvion is an FDA-cleared medical device that combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas to create a controlled plasma field that contracts skin tissue from beneath the surface. The technology works by delivering precise thermal energy through a small cannula inserted under the skin, causing immediate collagen contraction while simultaneously cooling the tissue to prevent damage to surrounding areas.
The radiofrequency energy converts helium gas into plasma at relatively low temperatures (around 100°C compared to 300-600°C with other energy devices), allowing for controlled tissue heating that triggers collagen contraction without the excessive heat that could cause burns or prolonged healing. This precise control enables treatment of the subdermal layer where skin tightening is most effective while preserving the surface skin integrity.
The procedure utilizes small incisions, typically 2-3mm in length, through which the Renuvion handpiece is inserted to deliver the plasma energy directly to areas of skin laxity. The immediate tissue contraction is visible during the procedure, allowing for real-time assessment of the tightening effect and precise control over the extent of treatment.

Ideal Candidates for Renuvion
The most successful Renuvion outcomes occur in patients who meet specific criteria that optimize both safety and aesthetic results:
Mild to moderate skin laxity with retained skin elasticity
Realistic expectations about the degree of improvement possible with non-surgical treatment
Areas of concern that are appropriate for the limitations of minimally invasive technology
Preference for minimal downtime over maximum possible improvement

Frequently Asked Questions


How does Renuvion differ from other skin tightening treatments?
Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to create controlled heating under the skin surface, providing immediate and long-term tightening through collagen contraction and new collagen production, offering more significant results than topical treatments but less than surgical procedures.
Is Renuvion FDA-approved?
Renuvion is FDA-cleared for soft tissue coagulation and cutting, with specific clearance for use after liposuction procedures, reflecting its established safety profile and clinical effectiveness when used by properly trained practitioners.
How soon will I see results?
You'll notice immediate skin tightening after treatment, with continued improvement over 3-6 months as new collagen develops and tissue remodeling occurs, providing both immediate and progressive enhancement.
What areas work best with Renuvion?
Areas with mild to moderate skin laxity and retained elasticity respond best to Renuvion treatment, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs, though individual assessment is necessary to determine suitability for each specific area.
How does Renuvion compare to surgical options?
Renuvion provides meaningful improvement with minimal downtime and scarring but cannot achieve the dramatic results possible with surgical procedures, making it ideal for patients seeking moderate improvement without surgical commitment.
Can I combine Renuvion with other treatments?
Yes, Renuvion is frequently combined with procedures like liposuction to enhance overall results, though each combination requires individual evaluation to ensure safety and optimize outcomes based on your specific goals and anatomy.
How long does the Renuvion procedure take?
Renuvion treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes depending on the number and size of treatment areas, with most procedures completed comfortably under local anesthesia in an office setting.
