Renuvion FDA Clearance
Renuvion is FDA-cleared for the use in improving the appearance of lax skin on the neck and chin! With this clearance, Renuvion is the only device that is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of loose skin on the neck and chin.

The results reveal a more contoured and smoother neck and jawline. Dr. Paul Ruff was the primary investor in this study which lead to the FDA approval. You can read more about it here.

What Is Plasma Energy?
Cold plasma is created when helium gas is energized by radiofrequency energy and delivered through the device. Because Helium gas is very stable, it can be ionized at very low energy ensuring flexible, precise and safe delivery. Cold plasma is cooler than laser energy making Renuvion Face a safer procedure with less risk and damage to the tissue and affording patients a quick recovery. The level of improvement and rejuvenation from cold plasma energy is unrivaled in current technologies. No laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency treatment is capable of tightening and firming skin to this level.
