The Renuvion (J-Plasma) procedure is performed in our office using local numbing anesthesia. The doctor will begin the J Plasma arm lift procedure by placing small, discreet insertion spot strategically on the upper arm in the areas where the skin is loose or hanging.
If liposuction is necessary to remove excess fat, it will be done first through the same small ¼ inch insertion spots. This will offer instant smoothing contouring effects. Liposuction will make a noticeable difference immediately after the initial swelling goes down over the first week or two. Full and final results take 6-12 months to be seen since the tissue has a lot of healing, remodeling and settling to do.
Then, the doctor will use the Renuvion (J Plasma) device sub-dermally (underneath the skin) to deliver cold plasma. This will immediately tighten, shrink, and rejuvenate skin from within. The outcomes are instant and continue improving over the next few months as the body recovers.
Our team is available after hours to receive communication about the patient’s condition following the procedure. The upper arm area usually feels slightly tight or sore after the Renuvion (J Plasma) treatment. Tylenol is usually sufficient to deal with the discomfort. The doctor may prescribe mild pain medications if more than minor discomfort occurs. The patient should immediately contact the doctor by texting our post procedure phone number if there is true pain and if discomfort is persistent or unbearable.
