Home › Renuvion vs liposuction
One tightens skin, the other removes fat. Often the honest answer is both.
| Renuvion | LSSA liposuction | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Contracts the tissue under the skin with helium plasma | Removes fat through a 0.9 mm tip |
| The problem it answers | Moderate skin laxity | Fat volume; a line that needs correcting |
| Areas at HOMMAGE | Abdomen, arms, thighs, back; jawline, double chin, cheeks, neck | Upper and lower abdomen, love handles, legs, full arm, and specific localised areas |
| Published price | Per area, KRW 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 | Added to the area price: type A +3,000,000, type B +4,000,000 |
Renuvion passes radiofrequency through helium to generate a cold plasma, delivered under the skin through a cannula. At the tissue it reaches 85°C — the temperature at which the collagen in the subdermal layer contracts most efficiently — and then cools almost immediately, so the heat does its work without spreading.
We use the LSSA platform. The needle and tip are unusually fine — the tip is 0.9 mm — and the technique melts fat gently at the tip rather than tearing it loose, which is what keeps the surrounding tissue intact. Less bruising, less swelling and less pain than a conventional suction technique, a relatively short procedure — around twenty minutes for a treated area — and a comparatively simple change of line rather than a dramatic debulking.
The line is corrected with fat volume, muscle position and skin elasticity all considered together. Where elasticity is the limiting factor, suction alone will disappoint, and Renuvion is planned with it in the same session. The reverse is also true: Renuvion tightens skin, it does not remove fat, so a patient whose main issue is volume is planned for suction first.
FAQ
No. Liposuction removes fat; Renuvion contracts the tissue under the skin with helium plasma. They are often planned together when elasticity is the limiting factor.
The line is corrected with fat volume, muscle position and skin elasticity all considered together. Where elasticity is the limiting factor, suction alone will disappoint, and Renuvion is planned with it in the same session.
If the main issue is volume, suction comes first. If the skin no longer follows the contour, that is Renuvion. If both, they are planned together.
