RENUVION® skin tightening in Dortmund: consultation, treatment and aftercare under one roof

Whether as a treatment of its own or together with liposuction: your RENUVION® skin tightening takes place at Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, from the first consultation to the final check-up. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has been at home in Rosemeyerstraße for 25 years and needs neither external surgical centres nor hospitals with visiting surgeons. Treatments are generally possible on any day of the week, and a personal contact accompanies you through all appointments.

The clinic is located at Rosemeyerstraße 2–4, directly on the B1/A40 in the immediate vicinity of the Signal Iduna Park. If you come by car, take the Dortmund-Hombruch exit on the B1 and park on the building’s parking deck directly in front of the entrance. By train, take the U45 from the main station to Stadtgarten and from there the U42 to Theodor-Fliedner-Heim.

This is why people choose RENUVION® skin tightening

  • The wish for smoother skin
  • Easing the effects of considerable weight loss
  • Tightening loose skin after liposuction
  • Declining skin tension due to getting older

After a body-contouring treatment such as liposuction, or after considerable weight loss, slack, sagging areas of skin can be very bothersome. With RENUVION® technology, slack skin can be tightened minimally invasively, if you wish in the same procedure as the liposuction and without a further tightening operation with large incisions.

What is RENUVION®? Modern treatment options for skin tightening

Slack skin on the abdomen, legs or buttocks can have many causes. Besides the passage of time, successful weight loss or body-contouring treatments such as liposuction can above all be responsible for whole areas of the body becoming slack, sagging or simply no longer looking as nicely smooth as they used to. For many people, this is simply no longer attractive aesthetically.

Previously, it was then necessary, for example following liposuction, to have a further operation for the surgical tightening of areas of skin. That meant a lot of effort, involved additional risks and was often very costly as well. With RENUVION® technology and its helium plasma energy, areas of skin on the legs, arms, buttocks or back, but also on the neck and décolleté, can be tightened minimally invasively, without a further surgical procedure. Whether the treatment can replace surgical tightening depends on the degree of skin slackness.

At Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, our doctors use the RENUVION® procedure. The technology uses the properties of helium plasma in combination with a focused supply of energy specifically on the affected skin vessels. The so-called dual thermal effect produced in this way is intended to make the dilated vessels contract again and thereby tighten the tissue.

How does RENUVION® differ from other procedures?

Compared with other medical treatment solutions using thermal energy, such as laser or radiofrequency, RENUVION® is intended to deliver the energy in a particularly targeted way. There are two reasons for this: firstly, the technology can precisely heat the affected connective tissue. As a result, the energy is only supplied where it is needed. Secondly, RENUVION® is intended to ensure that the tissue can cool down to skin temperature again immediately. All of this happens in fractions of a second. Like any procedure using thermal energy, treatment with RENUVION® is not free of risks and side effects; we explain these to you in detail before the procedure.

How was RENUVION® developed?

RENUVION® is the result of many years of intensive research and clinical development. It was developed by the manufacturer Apyx™ Medical; the patented system combines the effects of helium plasma on the one hand and radiofrequency energy on the other. It is intended to enable the treating doctor to carry out a precise and controlled treatment in a single system.

The aim is lasting tissue shrinkage through controlled heating.

Aims of RENUVION® skin tightening

  • An alternative to more invasive procedures, if the findings allow it
  • Recovery usually after about 7 to 10 days

You would like RENUVION® skin tightening and are convinced that this solution, possibly in combination with liposuction, is the right decision for you? Then request information from us now and arrange a no-obligation appointment for a first consultation.

Skin tightening with RENUVION® explained clearly

What is special about treatment with RENUVION® is that it can either be used as a stand-alone minimally invasive treatment for skin tightening without surgery, or be carried out immediately following liposuction, i.e. in the same procedure without the need for a further operation. If the technology is used directly after liposuction, we insert the 4 mm fine hand piece of RENUVION® into exactly the same punctures as our Vibrasat PRO cannulas beforehand, which we have just used to remove the excess fatty tissue. This means there is no additional incision and no additional scar.

The helium plasma jet heats the tissue directly beneath the skin. This is intended to tighten the tissue and to stimulate the natural formation of new collagen, which is the prerequisite for a longer-lasting tightening effect.

Methods compared

On its own, with liposuction or with an incision

How RENUVION® is used depends on how slack the skin is and whether fat is also to be suctioned out at the same time.

RENUVION®as a treatment on its own

The fine hand piece of about 4 mm is guided under the skin through small punctures. The helium plasma jet heats the tissue directly beneath it; the tissue is intended to contract and the natural formation of new collagen is to be stimulated. This is suitable mainly for moderately slack skin, including on the neck and décolleté.

How does the RENUVION® treatment proceed at Westfalenklinik?

The duration of the treatment depends somewhat on the area to be treated, but is usually about 20 to 40 minutes. After about 6 weeks, a change in the condition of the skin usually shows, while the skin tissue may continue to smooth out afterwards. The final result can be assessed after about 6 months, when the skin has regenerated and formed new collagen.

This is how a RENUVION® skin tightening proceeds at Westfalenklinik, from the consultation to the result:

  1. Step 1

    Beforehand

    Consultation. In the consultation we look at how slack your skin is and whether RENUVION® on its own or together with liposuction is an option. You can book your appointment online.

  2. Step 2

    Treatment day

    Admission and treatment. We welcome you at the clinic in the morning, and after admission a final discussion follows. The treatment itself takes about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the area.

  3. Step 3

    On the same day

    Going home. Depending on the extent, you leave the clinic on the same day. After larger treatments, you stay overnight with us for your safety.

  4. Step 4

    After 7 to 10 days

    Back to everyday life. After about 7 to 10 days you are usually back out among people.

  5. Step 5

    After about 6 weeks

    First change. A change in the skin usually shows after about 6 weeks, after which the appearance of the skin may continue to smooth out.

  6. Step 6

    After about 6 months

    The final result. The skin has regenerated and formed new collagen; the result can be assessed.

What does RENUVION® skin tightening cost in Dortmund? Costs and financing

The costs of a RENUVION® treatment can vary greatly depending on the extent and number of procedures. This depends in particular on whether or not the procedure is to be combined with liposuction. In addition, there are major differences between the parts of the body to be treated. Of course, this affects the treatment costs just as much as the choice of the suitable form of anaesthesia. As a first guide, additional costs of about €1,500 to €2,500 arise in combination with liposuction. We will gladly draw up a no-obligation treatment quote following your first consultation with our doctors, during which we can also inform you about possible financing models.

The Westfalenklinik’s treatment prices are final prices including statutory VAT; overnight stay, meals, follow-up treatments and the costs of the anaesthetist are not added afterwards. Financing is possible through our financing partner, more on this under Financing your treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What treatment costs do I have to expect with RENUVION® skin tightening?

The costs depend very much on the number and size of the areas to be treated, as the effort varies accordingly. The preferred form of anaesthesia also plays an important role in pricing. Finally, it is important to discuss with your treating doctor whether the procedure is to take place together with a body-contouring treatment, such as liposuction. This may result in cost advantages for you. We will gladly inform you in a consultation about the treatment solution that is suitable for you.

What should I expect from the course of RENUVION® skin tightening?

On the day of treatment, we welcome you at Westfalenklinik in the morning and give you all the time you need to settle in with us. After admission, a final discussion takes place once more with your treating doctor. In most cases, RENUVION® skin tightening in combination with liposuction is carried out under general anaesthesia, but for smaller areas also under local anaesthesia. Depending on the extent, you can leave the clinic again on the same day. After larger treatments, we keep you with us for 1 night in our spacious patient rooms for your own safety.

Is skin tightening with RENUVION® paid for by German statutory health insurance?

Tightening the skin using RENUVION® technology is, in the vast majority of cases, a purely aesthetic procedure. Most insurers and German statutory health insurance funds therefore usually reject an application for cost coverage. Westfalenklinik has therefore decided to offer this procedure exclusively to self-pay patients.

What results can be expected with RENUVION®?

RENUVION® is suited above all to moderately slack skin. Particularly in combination with liposuction, the treatment can in some cases make surgical skin tightening, which would otherwise be necessary, unnecessary. A particular advantage of RENUVION® treatment is that no large incisions are needed. As a result, only small scars form at the puncture sites, and the procedure is gentle on the tissue. For very severely slack skin and very extensive treatment areas, however, patients must expect that a surgical measure may be the more effective method. How pronounced the tightening is varies from person to person. Our doctors advise you in person on your options.

What does RENUVION® skin tightening cost in Dortmund?

As an initial guide, in combination with liposuction there are additional costs of around €1,500 to €2,500. After your first consultation at Westfalenklinik, you will receive a no-obligation treatment quote. The prices are final prices including statutory VAT; financing is possible through our financing partner.
