What are the differences, if any, between SkinTyte and Renuvion for facial tightening?

Thank you for your questionIn our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. I would suggest doing some additional research as these are completely different procedures and technologies. Skintyte is a topically applied delivery of laser energy to create skin tightening while Renuvion is subdermal (meaning it requires an incision or surgical procedure) delivery of gas plasma energy to create skin tightening. I would discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon who not only has devices such as these but also offers surgical options as well. That way you can make sure you are getting an honest take on what is best for you rather than someone trying to sell you something on hype because it is all they can offer you.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Thanks for your question. These are two very different forms of treatment. The SkinTyte procedure uses Broad Band Light (BBL) which is similar to a laser that helps to resurface skin and it can provide a small degree of tightening. That is a service we offer, but typically done by our aestheticians. Now, Renuvion is more of a procedure done by a plastic surgeon. This requires incisions (albeit very small) and some form of anesthetic (usually diluted local anesthesia). Published results of Renuvion demonstrate up to 30% skin tightening at 1 year. I'd find a clinic near you that offers both so you can better compare them. Best wishes

Dear Miami,Skin tightening for the neck can be achieved with both skintight and Renuvion, but it appears the newer technology Renuvion is better.Vaser and Liposculpting  in combination with Renuvion is the most superior combination I’ve found for my patients.Best. Dr KristineBrecht Seattle, Wa
