- Renuvion | New Look New Life
An innovative and non-invasive skin tightening treatment, Renuvion® has gained popularity for its ability to smooth skin while improving firmness and texture. New Look New Life offers Renuvion® in New York City for clients who desire effective, long-lasting skin tightening results without surgery. RENUVION > Our Services > Lasers > J-PLASMA IN NYC RENUVION IN NEW YORK CITY An innovative and non-invasive skin tightening treatment, Renuvion® has gained popularity for its ability to smooth skin while improving firmness and texture. New Look New Life offers Renuvion® in New York City for clients who desire effective, long-lasting skin tightening results without surgery. What Is Renuvion®? Renuvion skin tightening, also known as J-Plasma or J-Plasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Its unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and helium plasma can achieve dramatic skin improvement for a refreshed, energetic look. What Are the Benefits of Renuvion®? Skin tightening – Renuvion® effectively tightens loose or sagging skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Versatility – Renuvion® treats more than one skin concern, including mild to moderate skin laxity, and can be used on the following five areas of the body: Face and neck Arms Breasts Stomach and Waist Thighs Natural-looking and long-lasting results—Renuvion® is known for producing natural-looking skin-tightening results to deliver a more youthful appearance without any tell-tale signs caused by some surgical procedures. The results of Renuvion® skin tightening are typically long-lasting. Stimulates collagen production—Radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen growth, which is essential to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, contributing to the long-term benefits of the treatment. Minimally invasive —Renuvion® is a minimally invasive procedure, which means it requires only tiny incisions. This leads to less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Shorter procedure time—Renuvion procedures are typically quicker than traditional surgical options, reducing the time spent in the operating room. Minimal downtime—Although there is some downtime associated with Renuvion, it is relatively short. Many patients can return to regular activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Am I a Candidate for Renuvion® Treatment? Renuvion® patients should not smoke as this can negatively impact the healing process and overall outcome. They should be able to comply with our team’s important pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions. Good candidates for Renuvion® treatments will also have: Mild to moderate skin sagging – Renuvion® is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and may not be the most appropriate for those with severe skin laxity. A clean bill of health – Candidates should be healthy, as certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility for the procedure. No active skin infections – Candidates should have healthy skin without active infections, severe skin conditions, or recent sunburn. Skin health can impact the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Realistic expectations and maintenance compliance – Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of their Renuvion® treatments. While it can provide noticeable skin tightening, it may not achieve the same results as a surgical facelift. While Renuvion® offers long-lasting results, skin aging is an ongoing process, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results over time. Individual experiences with Renuvion® may vary, and the best way to find out if you are a good candidate for this procedure is to schedule a consultation with one of our professional and experienced providers. What is Discussed During My Renuvion® Consultation? During your consultation, one of our fully-trained and licensed New Look New Life providers will assess your specific needs, medical history, and skin condition to determine if Renuvion® is right for you. They will also discuss the benefits, potential risks, and expected results based on your unique needs and goals. How Are Renuvion® Treatments Performed? After a local anesthetic is administered, radiofrequency energy is applied to the desired treatment area(s) with a small wand that is inserted beneath the skin. This controlled energy heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, an essential building block for healthy and youthful skin. Helium gas is added to convert the RF energy into plasma. This high-energy plasma delivers precise heat energy to the underlying tissues, causing an immediate contraction of collagen fibers resulting in noticeable skin tightening. Renuvion® typically takes one to two hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and the number of treatment areas. What Will My Recovery Be Like After a Renuvion® Treatment? While Renuvion® generally involves a short recovery period, it may still require some downtime. Patients need to plan for this and follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for post-treatment care. Are Renuvion® Treatments Painful? Renuvion® is minimally invasive and includes local anesthesia, with patients reporting only mild discomfort. Do Renuvion® Treatments Leave Scars? Renuvion is known for its minimal scarring. However, there is still the potential for small, inconspicuous scars at the incision sites. Patients with a history of poor scarring or keloid formation should discuss this with their healthcare provider. What Do Renuvion® Treatments Cost in New York City? Renuvion® Treatments can vary widely, and the cost can be a concern for some individuals. New Look New Life can provide an individual cost quote based on your needs during your consultation. How long does it take to see Renuvion® results? You’ll be able to see tighter and firmer skin straight after completing your treatment. However, your skin will improve over the next six to nine months as more collagen is produced. How long do Renuvion® results last? With only one or two treatments needed, you can expect your results to be relatively permanent. Face and neck treatment results usually last five years or more with proper skincare. Does Renuvion® carry any risks? While Renuvion® is generally considered safe and effective, some concerns and potential risks are associated with the procedure. It’s essential for individuals considering this treatment to be aware of these concerns, and these will be thoroughly discussed before they undergo the treatment. Although rare, some risks include: Infection Changes in Skin Pigmentation Uneven Results Frequently Asked Questions

Are the results of Kybella permanent? Yes, once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. However, significant weight gain can still impact the treated area, so maintaining your weight is key. Can I combine Kybella with other treatments? Yes. Kybella can be part of a larger treatment plan that includes GLP-1s, skin tightening, or surgery for a more comprehensive approach to fat reduction and facial sculpting. How do I start Kybella treatment at New Look New Life? Book a consultation with our team.

Asclera® is a non- surgical vein injection therapy (sclerotherapy) that we perform to treat both spider and uncomplicated reticula veins. How is Asclera® used to treat spider veins? Asclera® is a vein injection therapy, or sclerotherapy, that is also highly effective in the cosmetic treatment for vein conditions including spider veins and uncomplicated reticula veins. Once injected, Asclera® causes the lining of blood vessels to swell and block the flow of blood. The vessels then clot and the body slowly disintegrates the vein. Is Asclera® right for me?

How should I prepare for spider vein treatment? Beyond your consultation, no specific preparation is needed. How is Asclera® used for vein treatment? Each visible vein will be carefully addressed with injections of Asclera®. It is very common for patients to need several injection treatments over a series of appointments. This allows time for the medication to thrombose the veins and for our doctor to evaluate progress and retreat any stubborn areas. How long does Asclera® treatment take? Each vein treatment session takes just about 30 to 45 minutes. How long does recovery take? Your veins will become less and less visible as the medication takes effect and healing continues. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, hot tubs, and plane flights for a few days after treatment. Depending on the degree of your vein treatment, we may advise you to wear support hose or compression stockings for a short period of time. How soon can I start exercising after an Asclera® treatment? You can comfortably resume your exercise routine in just two to three days. What are the Asclera® risks?

Breast reduction can be useful for women of any age with fully developed breasts. Women should be in good overall health with no pre-existing conditions that impair the healing process. We also offer male breast reduction for men with gynecomastia , in which breast tissue is overdeveloped, causing enlarged breasts and sensitivity.

The board-certified cosmetic surgeons at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts perform every breast reduction according to their patient’s specific needs. Breast reduction usually takes between two and four hours to complete. This outpatient procedure will be performed at our Manhattan surgical center. What Is the Anchor Incision? Breast reduction surgery is usually performed using the anchor (inverted-T) technique. This involves a series of incisions that run around the areola, down the lower pole of the breast, and across the inframammary fold (breast crease beneath the breast). Excess breast tissue is removed from the top and sides of the breast to reach the ideal size and shape. Your cosmetic surgeon will then reposition and center the breast tissue and nipples to achieve a youthful, lifted placement. Breast reduction is a safe and effective way to reduce breast size permanently. Should I Combine My Breast Reduction With a Breast Lift? Breast reduction surgery is almost always performed in combination with a breast lift when there is significant volume reduction. Breast lift surgery uses the same incisions as a breast reduction and is performed to tighten the remaining breast tissue and remove excess skin. Together, these breast enhancement surgeries allow for a lighter, more compact, lifted, and firmer breast appearance. What Will My Breast Reduction Recovery Be Like? You can rest in our comfortable post-operative suite before going home with a friend or family member. You will need help for the first 24 to 48 hours, and we are available to answer any questions or concerns during your recovery. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at all times. We understand that our Manhattan patients have busy lifestyles and schedules, and you will likely be able to return to work after week one. You will need to get plenty of rest and avoid putting a strain on your new breasts. Avoid bending, stretching, lifting, and running until told otherwise. You will have a follow-up appointment at New Look New Life Surgical Arts the day after your breast reduction and again one week later. Bruising, swelling, and scarring will fade over the following weeks and months, and nipple sensation will return gradually. Is Breast Reduction Painful? Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia to prevent any pain during surgery. Any post-operative discomfort can be alleviated with a prescription or over-the-counter pain medication like TYLENOL®. Will My Breast Reduction Leave Scars? Some scarring will be concealed in the darker pigment of the areolas, while others will fade over time. Most women find that dealing with breast reduction scars is far better than the physical and emotional discomfort of overly large breasts. How Much Does a Breast Reduction Cost in NYC? At New Look New Life in Manhattan, breast reduction starts as low as $9,500. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation. This price will include anesthesia fees, facility and operating expenses, recovery garments, and your surgeon’s fees. The cost of your breast reduction also includes all follow-up visits during recovery. We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your breast reduction in New York. How Should I Prepare for my Breast Reduction? Your cosmetic breast surgeon will review your pre- and post-operative instructions during your consultation. These will include quitting smoking and avoiding medications that thin the blood (such as NSAIDs, aspirin, Advil®, Aleve®, and some herbal supplements) for at least 10 to 14 days. You will also need to arrange for time off of work and your daily obligations. When will I see the results of my breast reduction? Many of our breast reduction patients are thrilled with their smaller, firmer, and more proportionate breasts. Your results will be noticeable right away, and as you heal, you’ll continue to notice and enjoy the freedom of smaller breasts. You will be able to wear clothing that wasn’t an option before and enjoy activities that were previously painful and limited due to your large breasts. Are there any risks associated with breast reduction surgery? You are in experienced hands with New Look New Life’s board-certified cosmetic surgeons. However, there is a risk of potential surgical complications. These complications include: Reactions to the anesthesia Bleeding Infections Prolonged wound healing Seroma Changes in sensation Numbness of the nipples Aesthetic complications include: Poor scarring Breast asymmetry You can reduce your risk of these and any other potential complications by following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. Can I breastfeed after breast reduction? Breast reduction involves the removal of tissue surrounding the milk ducts. Therefore, it is very possible that the ducts can be damaged during the procedure, thus limiting your ability to breastfeed. While this is not a problem for every woman, it is a potential complication. If you want to breastfeed after your breast reduction, please discuss your plans with your breast surgeon.
