Скачать или смотреть Renuvion Tightens Skin Before Your Very Eyes

Dr. Gordon discusses Renuvion, a new radiofrequency device that offers immediate skin tightening results. A revolutionary new technology called Renuvion is creating a buzz for its ability to safely and quickly tighten sagging, aging skin with very little downtime. While there have been other devices and technologies promising skin tightening before now, in the eyes of board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ashley Gordon, they have largely fallen short. Gordon points out that in some cases the results were unreliable and in others the risks of burns to the skin was a risky side effect.


“There really before now hasn’t been a way to adequately heat skin without burning it,” says Gordon, adding that she is interested in effective skin tightening procedures on a personal level as well. “I selfishly have been on the quest for a skin tightening device that actually works for the last several years. As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed that even though I work out, and I feel like I’m pretty fit, my skin is just not the same as it was ten or fifteen years ago. It has more laxity and when I hinge at the waist I feel like there’s excess skin.”

UNDERSTANDING AGING SKIN AND HOW TO REVERSE IT
As skin ages, it loses collagen and elastin. These proteins, abundant in youth, are responsible for helping skin feel firm (collagen) and provide skin with the ability to snap back after being stretched (elastin).

Areas where skin becomes loose.
One way to stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin within the deeper layers of aging skin is by delivering a controlled heat, also referred to as a controlled thermal injury, through radiofrequency. Renuvion is not the first device to harness this concept, but it is the first to do it with immediate, effective and safe results.

HOW RENUVION WORKS
What sets Renuvion apart from other radiofrequency skin tightening devices is its ability to protect the sensitive top layers of the skin from burning while at the same time delivering enough heat to the lower layers to stimulate visible tissue shrinkage and collagen and elastin production.

Through small incisions in the treatment area, Dr. Gordon inserts a rod-like handheld device that delivers radiofrequency energy to heat the targeted tissues and helium gas to cool the surrounding tissues, minimizing the risk of burns.

“It heats and contracts the fibrous tissue that surrounds the fatty tissue and the dermis to get it to tighten,” explains Gordon. “The most exciting thing is, the results are immediate.”
