Renuvion at Oshun · Kingston, Jamaica

Skin tightening.
Sub-dermal.

Renuvion at Oshun is performed by Dr. Charles Rockhead — helium plasma + radiofrequency energy delivered under the skin to tighten loose tissue. Often performed at the same surgical visit as liposuction to retract skin over the new contour, or as a standalone for mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Renuvion plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Renuvion patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why renuvion sometimes disappoints.

Renuvion disappoints when expectations are set against a surgical lift, when it's used on patients better suited to excisional procedures, or when energy delivery is too cautious to achieve real collagen response.

Renuvion is a skin-tightening procedure, not a skin-removal procedure. Patients with substantial skin laxity (significant post-weight-loss redundancy, advanced abdominal apron) almost always do better with abdominoplasty or other excisional surgery than with energy-based tightening alone. Setting that expectation honestly at consultation matters more than the energy technique itself.

The other common failure mode is undertreatment. Energy-based tightening only works when the tissue is heated to a threshold that triggers collagen contraction. Cautious settings produce safe but underwhelming results; aggressive settings produce more dramatic tightening but with higher risk of burns or contour irregularities. The right setting is patient-specific and is part of why physician-only delivery matters here.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Renuvion here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

No obligation · Every consultation is in-person with Dr. Rockhead.

A Renuvion visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Renuvion is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Stop blood thinners (NSAIDs, aspirin, fish oil) for 7–10 days where medically safe. Stop smoking at least 4 weeks before and after. Pre-op labs and medical clearance arranged in advance.

iii.

The Renuvion treatment

After tumescent fluid is infiltrated (and any planned liposuction performed first), Dr. Rockhead inserts a thin Renuvion handpiece through small entry incisions. The device delivers helium plasma plus radiofrequency in controlled passes across the subdermal layer. Incisions are typically closed with a single suture or steri-strips.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Compression garment 24/7 for 2 weeks then daytime for 2–4 more weeks. Light walking from day 1; no heavy lifting or intense exercise for 4 weeks. Sun protection on treated areas throughout the remodelling window. Wound check at day 2–3, sutures or entry sites reviewed at 1 week, tightening progress at 6 weeks, and final outcome at 6 months.

Renuvion 101

The procedure itself.

What it isRenuvion is a minimally-invasive skin-tightening procedure that combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to heat the subdermal tissue layer. The controlled heat causes immediate contraction and longer-term collagen remodelling, producing skin tightening with a small-incision approach.
How long it's been aroundRenuvion received FDA clearance for general surgical cutting/coagulation in 2012 and for soft-tissue subdermal coagulation in 2022, expanding its approved cosmetic use. The technology is still relatively new compared with established surgical excisional techniques.
What we treat with itSkin laxity on the abdomen, arms, thighs, neck, and other areas — particularly post-weight-loss or post-liposuction patients who don't want a full excisional procedure. It can also be combined with liposuction in the same session.

Your appointment

The day of your visit.

How much you'll needRenuvion is typically a single session per treatment area. Combination with liposuction is common. The treatment energy and pattern are planned per anatomy.
Will it hurt?Renuvion at Oshun is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia with sedation for smaller areas, and under general anaesthesia at an ambulatory surgical centre when combined with extensive liposuction. The plan is set at consultation.
How long the visit takesSmall areas (chin, neck) take 1–2 hours; abdomen or thighs 2–3 hours; combination liposuction-plus-Renuvion 3–4 hours.
Time off afterPlan for 5–10 days off work depending on the area treated. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks. Heavy exercise is deferred for 4 weeks.

Is Renuvion right for you

Who gets the most out of Renuvion at Oshun.

Renuvion isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Post-weight-loss

Mild-to-moderate skin laxity after weight loss

Patients who have lost 10–20 kg and have mild-to-moderate skin laxity in the abdomen or arms — not enough to need a full excisional procedure — are well-suited to Renuvion. Substantial laxity is better served by excisional surgery.

Combined with lipo

Liposuction plus Renuvion in one session

Patients who want fat removed and skin tightened in the same area often have both done in a single session. The contour and skin tone change together over the recovery window.

Aging arms

Brachial (upper arm) laxity in the 40s and 50s

Upper-arm laxity that doesn't yet warrant brachioplasty often responds well to Renuvion, with a much shorter recovery and no long incision scar.

Submental tightening

Chin and neck skin tightening

The neck and chin area combines well with submental liposuction. Renuvion can produce visible tightening of the jawline contour without a face-lift incision.

If this sounds right

The next step is a conversation, not a commitment.

Every Renuvion patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No procedure is scheduled, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

How is Renuvion different from a face-lift or abdominoplasty?
Renuvion tightens skin using subdermal heat; face-lift or abdominoplasty removes excess skin. Renuvion has shorter recovery and no long incisions but produces less dramatic tightening than excisional surgery. The right choice depends on how much skin laxity you have.
How long does Renuvion last?
The collagen remodelling produced by Renuvion is durable, though normal aging continues. Most patients see results that hold for years; periodic touch-ups are uncommon but possible.
Is Renuvion FDA-approved?
The Renuvion device is FDA-cleared for general surgical cutting/coagulation (2012) and for soft-tissue subdermal coagulation including aesthetic indications (2022).
Can Renuvion be combined with liposuction?
Yes — combining liposuction with Renuvion in the same session is one of the most common use patterns. Fat is removed first; Renuvion tightens the overlying skin.
How long is the recovery after Renuvion?
Plan for 5–10 days off work depending on the area treated. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; heavy exercise deferred 4 weeks. Some immediate tightening is visible; full result over 3–6 months.
What anaesthesia is used for Renuvion?
Most cases use tumescent local anaesthesia with sedation. Larger combined cases use general anaesthesia at an accredited ambulatory surgical centre.
Are there risks with Renuvion?
Risks include bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, skin burn if energy is delivered too aggressively, contour irregularity, and infection. Severe complications are uncommon when performed by an experienced operator. Dr. Rockhead reviews the full list at consultation.
Will I have scars from Renuvion?
Renuvion uses very small entry incisions (3–5 mm) that usually fade to nearly invisible marks. The lack of long incisions is one of its main advantages over excisional procedures.
How do I book a Renuvion consultation at Oshun?
Booking is a two-step process: a private consultation first with examination and quote, then surgery scheduling. WhatsApp (876) 676-6297 or schedule a consultation from this page.
Two paths from here

One conversation away.

Renuvion sits between non-invasive skin tightening and excisional surgery. Whether it's the right answer for you depends on how much laxity you have and what trade-offs you're prepared to make. The consultation is where that decision gets made.
