Information about Renuvion®
Definition of Renuvion®
Renuvion® is an innovative system for minimally invasive skin tightening based on Radiofrequency and helium plasma.
Cold helium gas is converted into helium plasma using radiofrequency energy and directed into the sagging tissue. This creates a thermal effect – the tissue is heated in a controlled manner and contracts. This so-called shrinking effect immediately tightens the skin. At the same time, the formation of new Collagen in the skin is stimulated, resulting in long-term improvement of the skin structure.
We use Renuvion® in Zurich for targeted skin tightening in almost all areas of the body and to support liposuction. Liposuction can leave behind slight excess skin, which can be treated directly with Renuvion® in Zurich. The result is visible just a few days after the treatment.

The Renuvion® skin tightening procedure
Preparation for treatment
Your skin tightening with Renuvion® will be carefully planned for you in Zurich. To do this, we will first invite you to a consultation to find out more about your motivations. Dr. Köhler will provide you with expert advice on the correction options available and whether your desired result can be safely achieved with Renuvion® in Zurich. It is also important to us to provide you with thorough information about the risks involved.
As a rule, treatment with Renuvion® in Zurich does not require any extensive preparation. However, we recommend limiting your consumption of alcohol and nicotine for the duration of the treatment. Blood-thinning medication should also be discontinued in consultation with Dr. Köhler if necessary.
Performing treatment with Renuvion
In Zurich, we perform minimally invasive skin tightening under local anesthesia, combined with a short twilight sleep depending on the extent of the treatment. The treatment areas are carefully disinfected and the planned corrections are marked on the skin.
The skin tightening is performed with a fine probe that is inserted into the tissue through tiny incisions and emits controlled plasma energy. The plasma beam heats the skin for a brief moment and then cools it down again immediately. This achieves immediate tightening of the connective tissue fibers and long-term stimulation of collagen formation.
If Renuvion® is used in Zurich to support liposuction, the treatment is performed immediately after the liposuction using the existing incisions.
Aftercare
After your skin tightening with Renuvion® in Zurich, we recommend a 14-day period of physical rest. You can return to work within a few days.
Depending on the area treated, Dr. Köhler may recommend wearing compression garments to achieve an even, beautiful Result. After treatments on the face and neck, it may be advisable to sleep in a slightly elevated position.
In the event of slight wound pain after the Renuvion® treatment, we will prescribe a mild painkiller. The tiny wounds should be carefully cared for and protected from UV radiation so that they heal without scarring.

Frequently asked questions about Renuvion®
What is Renuvion®?
Renuvion® is a minimally invasive procedure for skin tightening using plasma energy. The unique technology combines Radiofrequency and helium plasma for effective skin tightening without surgery.
Cold helium gas and radiofrequency energy are combined to create helium plasma, which is then directed into the tissue using a probe. The plasma beam heats the tissue in a controlled manner for an immediate shrinking effect and long-term increased Collagen production.
Renuvion® can be used in Zurich as a separate treatment or following liposuction.
Which areas of the body can be tightened with Renuvion®?
We recommend Renuvion® in Zurich for all moderately sagging areas where firmer skin is desired but surgical skin tightening is not yet necessary.
Popular areas of application include the abdomen, buttocks, chest, knees, thighs, and upper arms (the so-called "bingo wings"). The procedure is also suitable for precision corrections on the face and neck. Furthermore, Renuvion® can reduce Cellulite in the long term.
We often use Renuvion® in Zurich to support liposuction. If the skin loses a little elasticity during liposuction, it can be tightened at the same time.
Is Anesthesia required for Renuvion® skin tightening?
We recommend treatment under local anesthesia, or under short twilight sleep if necessary. This allows us to make the skin tightening procedure particularly comfortable for you. Dr. Köhler will discuss the most suitable type of Anesthesia for your case with you before your treatment.
When will I see the results of a skin tightening treatment with Renuvion®?
You may see initial improvements immediately after the treatment. The plasma beam heats the skin in a controlled manner, causing an immediate shrinking effect.
In the following weeks and months, collagen formation in the skin increases in response to the treatment. It can take several months for Skin elasticity to improve significantly. The final result can be assessed around 6 months after the treatment.
How long do the results last?
The treatment results have long-term longevity. The thermal energy permanently tightens the skin and supports the formation of new Collagen.
Further changes may occur, particularly as a result of weight fluctuations. We therefore recommend maintaining a stable body weight after Skin tightening with Renuvion® in Zurich.
What are the risks of skin tightening with Renuvion®?
Skin tightening with plasma energy is less risky than tightening surgery, as it is minimally invasive, does not require anesthesia, and does not involve long skin incisions.
The procedure should be performed by experienced specialists to avoid avoidable complications. As thermal energy is used, burns may occur if the device is used improperly.
