A Layered, Physician-Led Approach to Fat, Muscle, and Skin
Body contouring is not one problem. Stubborn fat, lost muscle tone, cellulite, and skin laxity often coexist, and they each sit in a different tissue layer. A treatment that addresses fat but ignores the loose skin above it leaves you with a different shape but the same frustration.
This page connects the body conditions ReNueva treats and explains how they relate to each other.
Localized deposits that resist diet and exercise. Genetically distributed. The lower abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, and under the chin are biologically more resistant to fat release, which is why they are often the last to change.
Tone and definition decline with age, hormonal shifts, and inactivity. For postpartum women, the connection between the brain and the core muscles may weaken. Weight loss through caloric restriction without resistance training can result in lost lean muscle alongside fat.
If collagen and elastin have been compromised by aging, sun damage, pregnancy, or weight fluctuation, the skin may not conform to the new contour underneath. Cellulite adds surface texture irregularity caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin inward.
Reducing fat without tightening the overlying skin can make laxity more visible. Building muscle without reducing the fat above it may not produce visible definition. Treating cellulite without addressing the fat volume pushing against the bands limits improvement.
The best results come from addressing all relevant layers in sequence. Not every patient needs every treatment. But your clinician needs to assess all three layers before recommending a plan.
Fat and muscle in a single 30-minute session. Radiofrequency disrupts fat cells while electromagnetic energy builds muscle. Most studied for the abdomen. Also used on flanks, buttocks, arms, and thighs.
