Firm, Support, Smooth, and Rejuvenate Your Skin Without Invasive Surgery!
You’ve probably heard the expression, “Father Time is undefeated.” That can be particularly true when it comes to the effect of time ,and sun that cause our skin to age and lose its youthful vibrance. But now, there is a way to give Father Time a run for his money without the expense, hassle, downtime, discomfort, and risk of invasive surgery. Let’s talk about our Newport Beach Renuvion.
What is Renuvion?
Renuvion, formerly known as J-Plasma, uses a device to smooth and improve your skin’s overall condition and appearance using a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium. This powerful “one-two punch” stimulates ongoing collagen production that firms and supports your skin.
How does Renuvion work?
Reduced to basics, Renuvion provides a contrast of high-energy heat and a stream of cold helium plasma to your skin. The cooling effect reduces the risk of thermal injury that can be caused by treatments that rely on heat alone.
Renuvion can resurface the outer layer of your skin or can be directed subdermally to deeper levels. In subdermal treatment, the device uses a long, thin tube called a cannula to deliver the pairing of RF energy and cold plasma. This causes collagen to contract, providing a firm, smooth foundation for your skin.

Are you a candidate for Renuvion?
You are a good candidate if you are a non-smoker who is in good general health. You then become an excellent candidate if you are also within ten pounds of your ideal weight. Renuvion is also commonly done alongside liposuction, because as you are having your fat removed, your skin can be made smoother and more firm and youthful, causing less excess after the fat is removed. So, those receiving liposuction are great candidates.
Is Renuvion for everyone?
No. If you have severe skin laxity, as might be produced by extreme weight loss or multiple pregnancies, you would likely achieve better results with other procedures such as a tummy tuck.
Your Renuvion Procedure
Depending on the size and locations of areas treated, your procedure may be performed under general anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation, or a local-only anesthetic. The treatment takes about an hour. First, Dr. Hendricks will make one or more tiny incisions into your treatment area. The Renuvion device is then inserted beneath the surface of your skin, allowing for precisely targeted treatment. During the procedure, Dr. Hendricks will control the device’s temperature, timing, and location to optimize both your safety and your results.
Recovery and Aftercare
Once you have recovered from your anesthesia, you can go home with bandages over your incision sites. You may be directed to wear a compression garment for a while. Take it easy for a couple of days. It’s normal to have some soreness and swelling. You should be able to go back to normal day-to-day activities after 48 hours but wait a week or two before resuming strenuous exercise.

You will be anesthetized and possibly even asleep during your procedure so that you will feel minimal to no discomfort. Over-the-counter drugs typically are sufficient for post-procedure pain management, but Dr. Hendricks can also prescribe additional medications as appropriate
Many patients opt for a maintenance treatment every year or so to maximize Renuvion’s® anti-aging effects.
Since Renuvion is a cosmetic procedure, your insurance will not cover the costs.

- Infection
- Bleeding
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Allergic reaction to medications or materials

Results can last for years and, in many cases, can be considered permanent if you maintain a stable weight, avoid excessive sun exposure, and lead a healthy lifestyle.
