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
- Skin Tightening and Skin Lifting

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.
Benefits of J Plasma
Renuvion J-Plasma stands out as a revolutionary approach to skin tightening, offering numerous advantages that appeal to individuals seeking a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Benefits of opting for J-Plasma include:
- Natural-Looking Results: Renuvion J-Plasma stimulates collagen and elastin production to naturally firm and tighten skin over time.
- Youthful-Looking Skin: Renuvion J-Plasma enhances skin strength, providing firmer and more lifted facial and body contours.

Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your cosmetic concerns and desired outcomes. During this initial visit, we evaluate your medical history and perform a physical exam to assess your skin health and body contours accurately.

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. Maintenance treatments may be scheduled to sustain your results.

What Patients Have Said
Being semi-awake during the procedure was a bit strange at first, but the team made sure I was comfortable the entire time and consistently checked in to make sure I was okay. Their care and attentiveness truly stood out.
It’s almost been a year since my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results—it looks amazing. I will definitely be going back in the future, and I’m even considering trying TruFlex next time.
The only mildly negative experience I had was when I asked about their facials. I was told they would follow up since their machine was being replaced with a newer model, but I never heard back. That said, it was a minor issue and didn’t take away from my overall positive experience.
Highly recommend!
