If you’re experiencing the loss of tissue elasticity and sagging skin, Renuvion®, formerly known as J-Plasma®, may be the solution you’re looking for. This minimally invasive skin tightening procedure combines helium gas and radiofrequency energy that converts to cold helium plasma. The result? A level of tissue tightening that was previously only attainable with an invasive procedure and significant downtime. It can be used with or without laser liposuction on virtually any area of the body to help achieve optimal skin tightening results.
Renuvion® J Plasma
How Does Renuvion J Plasma Skin Tightening Work?
Renuvion J-Plasma delivers even, controlled plasma energy with exceptional precision. The j plasma treatment can be completed in as little as 30 minutes or up to two hours, depending on the size and number of the treatment areas. It can be used as a standalone procedure or complement liposuction. It functions similarly to laser skin resurfacing but without the heat that can damage the surrounding tissues.
Before surgery, Dr. Kwak administers local anesthesia to numb the target area, so you will be awake during the procedure. Just as with liposuction, he strategically places tiny incisions for accessibility to the target area, and the thin Renuvion handpiece is then inserted subdermally. The plasma technology emits a plasma beam that quickly heats to the ideal temperature and then cools the tissue in less than one second. This process causes the soft tissue to contract and stimulates collagen production. The application is gentle, yet the results are dramatic. Results are noticeable after the procedure and will continually improve while the skin heals and produces new collagen, usually within 6-9 months.
How Does Renuvion J Plasma Work with Liposuction?
While laser liposuction (or SmartLipo) has some skin tightening benefits, j plasma takes liposuction results to a new level in revealing a more contoured, tight appearance. It’s ideal for patients who have loose skin after a significant weight loss or are experiencing the effects of aging with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure that removes fat deposits under the skin. Smart Lipo uses laser energy to melt the fat, and then it is gently suctioned from the body. It is performed on many areas of the body, including:
- The abdomen for a non-surgical tummy tuck
- Thighs
- Hips
- Back
- Upper arms for an arm lift
- Chin and neck for a neck lift/lower facelift or as part of a complete facelift
Renuvion skin tightening can treat the same areas of the body and is delivered after liposuction to tighten those areas and increase the effects.
Benefits of Renuvion J-Plasma
- Effective, minimally invasive, non-surgical skin tightening treatment
- Much lower risk than invasive procedures
- Little to no scarring
- Quick recovery time, with downtime typically over a long weekend
- Immediate and long-lasting results
- It can be used on various areas of the body

Renuvion J Plasma Recovery
Other more invasive surgical procedures, such as an abdominoplasty, require general anesthesia, can leave unsightly “hip to hip” scars, take longer to heal, and limit your activity. However, recovery time is short after the Renuvion procedure, the side effects are few, and most patients return to normal activities after a long weekend of minimal downtime. Small incisions (3-5 millimeters) are discreetly placed, so scarring is not noticeable. We may recommend wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling. We will provide additional aftercare instructions and monitor your progress to help you heal as quickly as possible.
Renuvion J Plasma Cost
The cost of the J-Plasma skin tightening treatment varies by patient and depends on the areas of the body, the number of treatment areas, and any other procedures being performed, such as a breast or buttocks augmentation.
When considering the cost, it’s important to take into consideration the skills and experience of your team. You want to make sure your surgeon is specially trained in performing the Renuvion j plasma procedure and has the results to show for it. Dr. Andrew Kwak brings his nearly two decades of experience in cosmetic surgery and artistic eye to body contouring. These factors, and other body goals you may have, are considered when determining the cost of the j plasma procedure.
You’ll also want to ask if the pricing is all-inclusive, so there are no surprises. At The Lumen Center, everything is included, from your procedure to a year of follow-up care. Pricing includes the medical team, anesthesia, compression garments (needed during the recovery period), and all of your follow-up care. In addition, we offer a variety of financing options and payment plans to fit your budget.
The J-plasma skin tightening procedure has been life-changing and confidence-restoring for so many of our patients. Many consider it an investment in themselves, and looking and feeling better is priceless.
Are You a Good Candidate for Renuvion J Plasma?
Renuvion is perfect for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve their skin quality. The skin tightening treatment avoids an invasive surgical procedure and skin excision. Even if you have larger or multiple areas to address, Renuvion J-Plasma can be effective. It’s important to note that Renuvion is not a treatment for obesity or removing excess skin.
