What Is J Plasma?
Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive body contouring procedure that tightens loose skin and improves overall skin quality. It effectively addresses signs of aging by reducing sagging caused by decreased collagen and elastin production. Ideal for areas such as the arms, buttocks, face, and neck, Renuvion offers a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional surgical lift procedure.
At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, we offer Renuvion to San Antonio patients who want to achieve a more youthful look without undergoing a traditional cosmetic surgery procedure. Commonly performed Renuvion treatments at Eterna Cosmetic Surgery include:
- Body Contouring

How Does Renuvion J Plasma Body Contouring Work?
Renuvion treatments are performed using a handheld device. This device releases helium gas, which is combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to create helium plasma energy. The controlled heating and cooling treatment contracts the skin and underlying tissues, thus creating optimal skin-tightening results without damaging the tissues in the treatment area.

Your Renuvion Treatment Session
The Renuvion treatment session typically lasts between 30 minutes to one to two hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. This minimally invasive procedure can be performed alone or combined with liposuction for enhanced results. During the session, a tiny incision will be made to deliver helium plasma, which helps tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Whether addressing the thighs with a Renuvion thigh lift, or treating other areas such as the abdomen, arms, or neck, the procedure targets loose skin and delivers impressive tightening effects. This versatility allows for customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.
Aftercare and J Plasma Results
Following your treatment, you can return home the same day. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your healing and achieve the best possible results. You may need to wear a compression garment, especially if the treatment area includes the lower face or neck. Expect some minor swelling and tenderness for a few weeks. Immediate results include tighter, firmer skin, with optimal results visible within six to nine months. Renuvion J-Plasma results can last up to two years, with improvements in areas like the face and neck potentially lasting up to five years.
