J-Plasma in Newport Beach & Orange County

As you age, collagen and elastin production slows, resulting in sagging skin and a lack of volume. This means you may notice drooping skin, wrinkles, and a crepey appearance in areas like the jawline, neck, or chest. In the past, surgical procedures like a facelift or neck lift were patients’ only options. Today, J-Plasma treatments are available to tighten and lift the skin with minimal downtime. J-Plasma treatment utilizes plasma energy to tighten skin with only minimal incisions required. The result is smoother skin and a more youthful appearance without the extensive downtime or side effects of a surgical procedure.

What is J-Plasma?

J-Plasma is a non-surgical procedure which is also known as Renuvion or J-Plasty. The procedure utilizes Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology to resurface and tighten the skin.

Who is a Good Candidate for J-Plasma?

The best J-Plasma candidates are interested in skin tightening but do not wish to undergo a surgical procedure. Patients typically opt for J-Plasma when they are looking for little scarring and minimal downtime after a procedure. However, patients should also be aware that severe skin laxity or sagging is best addressed with a surgery such as a facelift.

J-Plasma FAQs

  • What Areas Can Be Treated with J-Plasma?

    J-Plasma treatment can be beneficial for several areas that are commonly affected by skin laxity, sagging, or a crepey appearance.

During a consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will examine the treatment area to determine whether J-Plasma is your best option.

  • Can J-Plasma Be Used in Combination with Other Treatments?

Many patients choose to combine their J-Plasma treatment with liposuction for improved contouring results, for example. During your consultation, you can discuss all of your treatment options with one of our skilled plastic surgeons to create a customized treatment plan that will reach your ideal results.

  • When Can I Put Makeup on After J-Plasma Treatment?

    After your J-Plasma treatment, you will see some side effects such as redness or bruising. While you may wish to cover these side effects with makeup, it is best to avoid doing so in order to prevent any complications like infection and allow the skin to heal properly. In most cases, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks after your J-Plasma treatment before applying makeup.

Post-Procedure Care After J-Plasma

J-Plasma results in a short period of downtime. Most patients rest for a few short days following their treatment to allow the area to heal and visible side effects to subside. This includes swelling and redness. A majority of swelling and redness will subside within the first weeks of recovery, though some residual swelling can last for several months. Some patients may also have some discomfort through the recovery process, which can be alleviated with pain medications. The side effects you experience will vary depending on the extent of your procedure and size of your treatment area.
