Continuum Surgery Center of Naples Introduces Renuvion Technology
Advanced surgical technology offers surgeons another option for patients seeking improved body contour and the appearance of loose skin.
As surgical technology continues to evolve, physicians have more options to address concerns involving loose skin and body contour. Continuum Surgery Center of Naples has recently acquired Renuvion®, an advanced surgical technology developed by Apyx Medical that combines radiofrequency energy and helium to generate plasma. When delivered through a specialized handpiece, this technology produces a controlled thermal effect in targeted soft tissue, supporting tissue coagulation and contraction.
For individuals concerned about loose skin following weight changes, aging or other factors, understanding available treatment options is an important first step toward making informed decisions about their care.
How Does Renuvion Work?
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas to generate helium plasma. When delivered through a specialized handpiece, this energy creates a controlled thermal effect in targeted soft tissue, allowing the surgeon to coagulate tissue and support tissue contraction.
In aesthetic procedures, Renuvion can be used for specific applications involving loose skin and body contouring, depending on the handpiece, its FDA-cleared indications and the patient’s treatment plan.
Unlike treatments that work at the skin’s surface, the Renuvion APR Handpiece delivers energy beneath the skin. Following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring, it is intended for the coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissue. It is also indicated for use in subcutaneous dermatological and aesthetic procedures to improve the appearance of loose skin in the neck and under-chin region.
Renuvion’s proprietary helium plasma and radiofrequency technology enables surgeons to deliver energy to targeted tissue. The surgeon controls its application according to the specific procedure, treatment area and applicable instructions for use.
Renuvion has been recognized by NewBeauty, receiving the publication’s “Best Minimally Invasive Skin Tightener” award in both 2025 and 2026.
Renuvion is not a single-purpose device. Different handpieces have different indications, and the appropriate application depends on the procedure being performed, the patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s treatment plan.
What Concerns Can It Address?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared specific Renuvion handpieces for defined uses.
The Renuvion APR Handpiece is indicated for use in subcutaneous dermatological and aesthetic procedures to improve the appearance of loose skin in the neck and submental (under-chin) region. It is also intended for the coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissue following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring.
Depending on the procedure and the surgeon’s treatment plan, Renuvion may be considered as part of an approach to body contouring in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs and back. Its use must be consistent with the applicable FDA-cleared indications and the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific handpiece.
Patients experiencing changes in skin appearance after weight fluctuations, pregnancy or aging may benefit from discussing their concerns with a qualified surgeon. For patients who have experienced significant weight loss, including weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications, a consultation can help determine which surgical or nonsurgical options may be appropriate.
A separate device, the Renuvion Dermal Handpiece, is FDA-cleared for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I, II or III. This is a distinct application from the APR Handpiece’s subcutaneous uses.
Renuvion is not a weight-loss treatment, and it does not replace the need for appropriate patient selection or other surgical procedures when indicated.
Results vary according to individual factors, including skin elasticity, the amount of loose skin, overall health and the procedure performed. A consultation with a qualified surgeon can help determine whether Renuvion is appropriate or whether another treatment may better address a patient’s goals.
Safety and Individualized Care
As with any surgical technology, Renuvion requires careful patient selection, appropriate training and adherence to the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Renuvion is FDA-cleared for specific indications, and the applicable handpiece must be used according to its cleared indications and instructions.
Potential risks depend on the procedure and may include burns, infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in skin sensation or appearance, and complications associated with heat or gas. Patients should discuss the potential benefits, limitations, alternatives and risks with their surgeon before proceeding.
At Continuum Surgery Center of Naples, the introduction of Renuvion reflects an ongoing commitment to providing surgeons with advanced technology and supporting individualized surgical care. The center’s outpatient setting offers patients access to a multispecialty surgical facility designed to support coordinated care before, during and after a procedure.
Start With a Conversation
Considering a procedure to address loose skin begins with understanding the available options. During a consultation, a surgeon can evaluate the areas of concern, review medical history, discuss realistic expectations and determine whether a Renuvion procedure is suitable for the individual patient.
For more information about procedures available through Continuum Surgery Center of Naples, patients can speak with their plastic or cosmetic surgeon about whether Renuvion technology may be an appropriate part of their treatment plan and whether the procedure can be performed at Continuum. Surgeons interested in using Renuvion at Continuum can contact the center directly.
