Renuvion, often utilised for skin tightening, employs a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to heat underlying tissues, promoting collagen production and subsequent skin contraction. To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, adhering to the following aftercare recommendations is imperative:

Post-Treatment Swelling and Discomfort: After the procedure, it's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. To alleviate swelling, keep the treated area elevated as much as possible for the first 48 hours. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be taken for discomfort, but always consult with your physician regarding appropriate dosage and potential drug interactions.

Skin Care: The skin might appear reddened or slightly discoloured immediately post-treatment. It's vital to keep the area clean to prevent infections. Gently cleanse the area with a mild, non-alcoholic cleanser and apply any prescribed ointments. Avoid rigorous activities and excessive sweating for at least one week, as this could exacerbate inflammation. Moreover, direct sun exposure should be avoided for a minimum of two weeks post-treatment. When outdoors, always wear a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher to protect the treated area.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ins with your clinician are essential to monitor your healing process and ensure optimum results. Any signs of unusual discomfort, prolonged redness, infection signs, or any other concerns should be immediately communicated. It's also important to note that while some results can be seen soon after the treatment, full results often manifest over several weeks to months as collagen production increases.

Always consult with your practitioner regarding any additional aftercare specifics tailored to your unique treatment plan and personal needs.
