J-Plasma Renuvion® Skin Tightening

A decrease skin elasticity and tone is one of the earliest signs of aging skin. J-Plasma Renuvion is a cutting-edge minimally invasive procedure that can resurface the skin externally and tighten it when applied under the skin.

As a modern alternative to traditional methods, J-Plasma is able to produce better results than laser resurfacing treatments with less heat, resulting in a safer treatment that can be used even in the most delicate areas. The precision of the cool plasma stream allows an any area to be treated, without damaging nearby tissues which in turn allows for less pain / discomfort, minimal risk of complications and relatively short recovery times.

Areas That J-Plasma Renuvion Can Treat

J-Plasma Renuvion can be used to tighten any area from the face to the calves. Some popular application areas include : Face, Abdomen, Breasts, Back, Arms, Thighs and the Neck.

Advantages of J-Plasma Renuvion

• Immediate results with very small incisions.
• Single treatment to achieve the desired results.
• Minimal trauma on surrounding tissues.
• Minimal to no risk of skin damage.
• Safe to use on delicate areas of skin such as eyelids
• Relatively quick recovery and painless procedure.

Best Candidates for J-Plasma Renuvion

Patients with otherwise healthy skin are generally good candidates for J-Plasma treatment. Lines, spots and wrinkles on the skin caused by aging, sun damage or smoking can be treated by J-Plasma as well as moderate to mild loss of skin elasticity. It is an excellent choice for patients who don’t want an invasive surgery or the accompanying scarring and downtime.

Tightening treatment can be successfully performed on all skin colors. Resurfacing treatment on the other hand often yield better results in patients with lighter skin.

How Does J-Plasma Renuvion work?

In J-Plasma resurfacing treatment, the ionized plasma energy is delivered to the top layer of your skin. As the plasma makes contact, it exfoliates the outermost layers of the of the skin without penetrating or damaging the underlying tissue. This process reduces skin discoloration, improves texture, reduces pores, reduces fine and deeper lines and tightens the skin.

In tightening applications a thin metal cannula is inserted under the skin through small, strategically placed incisions. As the cannula is moved back and forth, the plasma that flows out of the tip heats the underside of the skin, causing the skin to contract, stimulating collagen production. This results in the overall tightening of the treated area.

Depending on the region and the area of application, J-Plasma Renuvion can be undergone under general anesthesia. In limited applications local anesthesia is also an option.

J-Plasma Renuvion can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other procedures, such as liposuction or a neck lift.

For most patients, a single session of J-Plasma Renuvion treatment is usually sufficient.

After The Surgery

Usual recovery time is about two to three weeks for J-Plasma skin resurfacing and even shorter for skin tightening. Patients are advised to stay indoors, away from direct sunlight and rest for the first couple of weeks. It’s important to keep the skin clean, without make-up and moisturized following the procedure in order for it to recover properly. There may be slight redness, minor swelling, itching and peeling that could last up to 3 weeks.

The recovery period usually passes without any complications. Periodical examinations by the doctor after the procedure will ensure the quality of recovery and the end result.

The Results

The treatment will produce noticeable results right after the surgery, although it will take a few weeks for the skin to completely heal and recover. The skin continues to contract and improve in elasticity over the next several months, up to a year as more collagen is produced.

Multiple treatments are not necessary, and the results from J-Plasma will be relatively permanent. The rejuvenated skin will inevitably still develop gradual changes over the years due to the natural aging process.
