Renuvion Skin Tightening in New Orleans, LA
For many, the biggest frustration with aging isn’t wrinkles—it’s skin that starts to feel looser, softer, or simply less defined. Renuvion offers a modern, minimally invasive approach to tighten skin and refine contours, eliminating the need for long incisions and lengthy downtime.
At the MODERN, we utilize Renuvion to enhance surgical results after liposuction in areas such as the neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. When paired with liposuction, this precision-driven device helps patients in New Orleans and Metairie experience more sculpted, youthful contours on their own terms.
Renuvion (also known as J-Plasma) is a revolutionary skin tightening technology that combines helium gas with radiofrequency (RF) energy to create a controlled plasma stream. This plasma contracts the skin’s underlying layers with remarkable precision while sparing surrounding tissues.
Unlike external devices that only affect the surface, Renuvion works beneath the skin through a tiny incision—resulting in visible tightening and contour improvement that’s closer to surgical results, without the scars or extended recovery.
Renuvion is typically performed in-office or as part of a larger procedure, such as liposuction. After numbing the area and making a small entry point, Dr. Jules Walters uses a slim wand to deliver the plasma energy just beneath the skin.
Most treatments take under an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. You’ll go home the same day wearing a compression garment to support the healing process. Mild swelling or bruising is normal, and most patients return to light activity within a few days.
Results begin to show within weeks and continue to improve for 3–6 months as collagen production increases and skin continues to contract.
Renuvion is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who aren’t ready for surgery or who want to enhance their surgical results. It addresses:
Renuvion is used to treat skin laxity on the neck, jawline, arms, abdomen, flanks, back, inner thighs, and more. It’s especially effective in areas where traditional skin tightening methods fall short.
Patients choose Renuvion because it offers powerful lifting and tightening without the intensity of traditional surgery. Benefits include:
You may be a good candidate for Renuvion if you have mild to moderate loose skin and want a firmer contour without full surgical lifting. Ideal for individuals in their 30s to 50s, or for post-liposuction patients who want to enhance skin texture.
It’s not suitable for those with severe laxity who would benefit more from excisional surgery. A consultation with Dr. Walters helps determine the right option for your goals and anatomy.
Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for a few days post-treatment. Compression garments help minimize swelling and support the healing process. You can return to light activities within 3–5 days and more strenuous movement within 2–3 weeks.
We’ll provide clear aftercare guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting results.
Some tightening can be observed within the first few weeks, but the full results develop gradually over 3–6 months as collagen fibers contract and remodel. The outcome is firmer, more sculpted skin with natural movement and no added volume.
With proper care, results from Renuvion can last several years—especially when paired with healthy habits and long-term skin support.
At the MODERN, we integrate Renuvion into custom body contouring plans with purpose and precision. Dr. Jules Walters, a leader in advanced surgical and nonsurgical techniques, performs every treatment himself to ensure safe, sophisticated outcomes.
Our patients trust us not just for the technology—but for the judgment, restraint, and artistic skill that comes with it. Your treatment is always grounded in your anatomy and your vision of refinement.
We don’t chase trends—we elevate them.
No. Renuvion is used to tighten skin, not remove fat—but it’s often paired with liposuction for smoother, more defined results.
Patients receive anesthesia or local numbing, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable.
Some tightening is immediate, but peak results emerge over 3–6 months as collagen builds and skin continues to contract.
In most cases, one treatment is enough. However, additional sessions can be considered if more tightening is needed over time.
No major scars. The entry points are tiny (about the size of a freckle) and typically fade quickly with proper care.
