The following bibliography of published peer reviewed articles includes uses for our technology within the specific indications for facial dermal resurfacing. This is intended to be a forum for scientific exchange and thus this content may include unapproved uses. Not all markets have the same labeling, refer to the local Instructions for Use or contact your local representative for more information. All investigator disclosures are within the publications.
Renuvion® Dermal Handpiece is indicated for dermatological procedures for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides, limited to patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I, II, or III. Warning: Application of more than one treatment pass in the perioral area, on the forehead, and along the jawline has been associated with hypertrophic scarring. Risks associated with the use of the Renuvion Dermal System include but are not limited to hypertrophic scarring, milia/acne, telangiectasia (spider veins), skin discoloration/hypopigmentation, dormant infection reactivation, infection, bruising or bleeding. As with any procedure, individual results may vary. As with all energy devices there are inherent risks associated with its use, refer to the IFU for further information.
