True to its commitment to high quality service, Metropolitan General recently acquired the advanced Renuvion® minimally invasive cosmetic surgery system. One of the most important innovations for aesthetic plastic surgery in the last 20 years.

Renuvion® using patented technology from a company that is a world leader in minimally invasive techniques gives proven results, significantly improves surgical time and offers unparalleled flexibility.

What is Renuvion® and who is it for?

Renuvion® is an innovative technology in the field of aesthetic medicine that has begun to gain favor with patients who wish to improve their appearance. It is a new, minimally invasive technique used to tighten and lift various areas of the body, which has been approved by the American FDA.
“This technology is based on the use of helium plasma combined with radio frequencies to induce skin tightening.

Helium plasma causes tissue tightening and lifting, thus helping to improve the appearance of the skin. It can be applied to many areas of the body, such as the face, chest, arm, abdomen, neck and legs. The minimally invasive nature of Renuvion® makes it suitable for people of all ages, from 18 to 80, experiencing moderate skin sagging. With just one session, gradual tightening and lifting is achieved, with visible and definitive results that can be seen after 4-6 months”, emphasizes Mr. Aris Sterodimas, MD, MSc, ARCS Plastic Surgeon Director of the 1st Clinic of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Metropolitan General and continues:

“The technique renews the elasticity of the skin, offering an improvement of 50-60%, so that it does not deteriorate over time. Renuvion® acts on loose skin at different levels, depending on the extent of the problem and the result the plastic surgeon wants to achieve. Skin laxity is noticeably improved from the first postoperative days and the skin throughout the application area appears renewed, firm and fresh, with improved texture and increased elasticity.

The impressive results and the uniqueness of the Renuvion® treatment are due to the fact that the reversal of skin relaxation takes place at the source of the problem, i.e. under the skin, where targeted heat is delivered, with the temperature rapidly reaching 85°C and achieves immediate tightening of the subcutaneous tissues, without causing injury. Also, the process of neocollagenogenesis, and consequently the tightening of the skin, moves on three levels, superficial, medium and deep, so that the plastic surgeon can give overall results of targeted and effective treatment of relaxation in every area of ​​the face or body.

The introduction of the special head of Renuvion® under the skin is carried out under local anesthesia, through holes of only 3 millimeters, while the whole procedure leaves no incisions or scars and requires no recovery. The Renuvion® technique is considered ideal for application after liposuction, for sure and impressive tightening and an even more perfect and complete result. In the case of combining Renuvion® with the advanced technique of liposuction and fat transfer Stromal Enriched Lipograft™ the results are impressive”, states the expert.

“In addition,” he adds, “there is no need to repeat the process more than once, as is the case with other techniques. The operation is performed in the operating room under local anesthesia, with a small incision of half a millimeter, making the recovery immediate and painless. Patients can return to their daily activities the next day, without swelling or bruising. It should be noted that Renuvion® is aimed at people with a small to moderate degree of relaxation in order to be able to offer the best possible results”, concludes Mr. Sterodimas.
