Apyx Medical Announces New Clinical Study Demonstrating Renuvion®’s Impact on Skin Quality
Apyx Medical announced a prospective clinical study, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open, showing Renuvion helium plasma treatment produced measurable biological changes in skin quality.
At Day 180, treated tissue showed 30% greater elastin fiber density, 55% higher elastin staining intensity, and 34% less inflammation versus control tissue, with all six completing participants reporting improvement and satisfaction.
The study is small (seven facelift patients at two U.S. sites), but management says it supports the position that Renuvion should be part of every liposuction procedure worldwide.
