 6. Renuvion/J-Plasma

This is a new non surgical procedure for skin tightening of many parts of the body like the breast, arms, butt, thigh, tummy. When handled by the surgeon, the device delivers lifting and tightening energy to the breasts and enhances your natural contours with helium gas that is ionized with RF (radio frequency)energy.

Similar to the thermage treatment, this option involves the surgeon putting a probe under your skin to encourage the area to contract and tighten. The cold plasma energy does not just contract the skin, it also encourages production of collagen.

For the renuvion  procedure, a small entry point is created on the skin by the specialist. This is the channel through which the helium gas and the radiofrequency is introduced into the body and energy generated.  The energy produces the heat which contracts the skin as the helium gas keeps the area cool. This will result in tightening of the tissues under the skin.

 One advantage of this treatment is you only need it once for long-term results. Renuvion treatment are beneficial because it gives the breast a youthful appearance, tightens the skin, reduces fine lines and gives good body contouring.

Botox are also used for treatment of wrinkles. There are some hesitations to these treatment options because of the lack long-term studies on their effectiveness. Dermal fillers cost about $685 and botox injections costs $376 per treatment.

8. Laser Treatment

Laser therapy works for other body parts outside the breast especially the face. They are also commonly applied as wrinkle therapy, for scars and age spots. This non surgical breast lift option uses  high power energy beams to  remove dead skin cells.
