Apyx Medical Corporation announced the publication of a new retrospective study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open, evaluating the clinical benefit of Renuvion when used in combination with liposuction.
The study found that patients treated with Renuvion reported statistically higher satisfaction with reduced appearance of excess skin (Body-Q score 87.8 vs. 73.8; p=0.03) and abdominal appearance (68.8 vs. 45.0; p=0.039).
The rate of patients requiring abdominoplasty was more than 50% lower in the Renuvion group (30.0% vs. 67.1%), and revision rates were significantly lower (12.0% vs. 37.5%; p=0.038), while complication rates remained similar (2.5% vs. 2.7%).
CEO Charlie Goodwin stated that the study adds to the growing body of clinical evidence supporting the use of Renuvion in aesthetic body contouring, underscoring its value to surgeons and patients.
