Benefits of J-Plasma Skin Tightening

The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery states that it is natural for collagen and elastin production to slow down as one ages. These two proteins are essential for keeping the skin plump, firm, and smooth. As such, slowed production results in areas of sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. Patients concerned with skin laxity may want to consider J-Plasma skin tightening for a non-surgical solution to halt this process temporarily. J-Plasma can tighten the skin in virtually any area of the body. However, common areas include:

• Arms
• Belt region (abdomen and sides)
• Breast
• Butt
• Knee
• Lower face and neck
• Thigh
• Tummy

With J-Plasma skin tightening, patients can achieve firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with little to no downtime. This is arguably one of the biggest, most obvious benefits of J-Plasma skin tightening. Furthermore, mild to moderately loose skin can be tightened without any surgery or scarring. When performed by a qualified surgeon, there is little risk of adverse effects, and treatment can typically be performed in an hour or less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine J-Plasma skin tightening with other procedures?

While J-Plasma skin tightening is often recommended as an alternative to face lift surgery, it can also be used to complement the procedure. When used in conjunction with a face lift, J-Plasma skin tightening can bring about even more dramatic results. It can also be used with other procedures, such as liposuction.

Can my entire face be treated by J-Plasma skin tightening?

Yes. Since the treatment is so precise, we can target specific facial areas and concerns. At the same time, we can treat the entire face, even including areas of delicate skin, such as the lips and around the eyes.

What is it like to recover from J-Plasma skin tightening?

Recovery from J-Plasma skin tightening is minor. It is normal to experience some redness and skin peeling for a couple of weeks after the procedure, and you may see redness for up to two months. Most patients take two weeks off work, and any pain and discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain killers.

How many J-Plasma skin tightening treatments will I need to achieve my desired results?

It depends on your goals and the starting condition of your skin. During your initial consultation, we can determine how many treatments are best for you.

Does J-Plasma skin tightening hurt?

Since the procedure is non-invasive, it is relatively pain-free as compared to a face lift surgery. Additionally, we prioritize your safety above all else. Therefore, we will do everything in our power to keep you comfortable throughout your procedure. We may also offer a local numbing cream to further reduce any potential discomfort.

What are the different types of J-Plasma skin tightening?

There are three types of J-Plasma skin tightening: Renuvion for the Face, Renuvion for the Body, and Renuvion for the Skin. Renuvion for the Face utilizes cold plasma energy on the underside of the skin to immediately tighten and rejuvenate the facial skin. In contrast, Renuvion for the Body utilizes subdermal cold plasma energy to instantly tighten and rejuvenate the bodily skin. Finally, Renuvion for the Skin uses cold plasma energy to reduce the signs of aging dramatically.
