Madison Plastic Surgery has added AYON™, a single platform from Apyx Medical that combines ultrasound-assisted liposuction, power liposuction, and Renuvion® tissue contraction into one system. Rather than moving between separate machines for fat removal, sculpting, and skin tightening, surgeons can now manage each stage of body contouring through one connected device. Madison Plastic Surgery believes it is among the first practices in the region to bring this technology to patients, giving Wisconsin access to an approach that has largely been concentrated in larger coastal markets.
This blog walks through how AYON works, why an all-in-one system matters, and what it may mean for patients exploring body contouring in Madison and the surrounding area.
How AYON Works
AYON consolidates several tools that have traditionally required separate equipment. The system pairs advanced ultrasound-assisted liposuction with power liposuction for fat removal, then integrates Renuvion's helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to help contract tissue beneath the skin. Because these functions live on one platform, surgeons can move between steps without swapping devices mid-procedure.
According to Apyx Medical, the manufacturer, AYON was built to streamline body contouring by combining:
- Ultrasound-assisted and power liposuction for controlled fat removal
- Renuvion tissue contraction to help address loose or lax skin
- A closed-loop aspiration system designed for consistent suction and fluid handling
- Integrated infiltration for tumescent fluid delivery
The result is a more coordinated procedure, with fewer transitions between separate machines during surgery.
Why One Platform Makes a Difference
Combining these functions may simplify the surgical workflow and give surgeons more consistent control from one stage of the procedure to the next. Because fat removal and skin tightening can happen without changing systems, cases involving both concerns may be planned with fewer variables to manage during surgery. The platform's ultrasound-assisted mode also adjusts energy frequency in real time during fat extraction to support a more controlled, adaptive experience throughout the procedure. Outcomes continue to depend on anatomy, skin quality, and surgical technique. AYON's benefit lies mainly in coordination, letting surgeons move from fat removal to tissue contraction on one connected system rather than switching equipment mid-case.
Addressing Loose Skin After Liposuction
Loose or lax skin is one of the more common concerns patients raise after liposuction, particularly in areas with moderate skin laxity. Renuvion is currently the only device the FDA has cleared specifically for coagulating soft tissue following liposuction, a clearance built around helping skin contract after fat is removed. Having this technology built into the same platform used for liposuction may help surgeons address fat and skin laxity within a single, connected procedure rather than treating them as separate concerns.
Madison Plastic Surgery: Bringing Advanced Contouring Technology to Wisconsin
Investing in AYON reflects Madison Plastic Surgery's focus on offering refined, technically precise care without requiring patients to travel to larger markets for advanced options. For patients weighing liposuction with skin tightening in mind, this platform may offer a more streamlined path toward that goal. Anyone curious whether AYON is a fit for their goals can schedule a consultation with Madison Plastic Surgery to discuss options in detail.
