At The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, we are dedicated to offering the most advanced technology to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with less downtime. Renuvion (often referred to as J-Plasma) represents a unique solution for individuals with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who wish to avoid traditional excisional surgery.

Dr. Brad Hall often uses Renuvion to complement liposuction, providing an optimal combination of fat removal and skin tightening.

What is Renuvion J-Plasma Technology?

Renuvion is an FDA-approved technology that tightens the skin's underlying tissue from the inside out. It uses a unique combination of energy to achieve superior results:

• Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: Used to activate the helium gas.

• Helium Gas: A stable, inert gas that is converted into Cold Atmospheric Plasma.

This plasma stream is delivered beneath the skin through a small cannula. It delivers concentrated heat to the fibroseptal network (the connective tissue under the skin), causing an immediate and dramatic contraction of collagen fibers.

The Renuvion Advantage: Maximum Tightening, Minimal Heat

Renuvion rapidly heats the tissue to the optimal temperature for collagen contraction in a fraction of a second, and then the excess helium gas rapidly cools the area.

• Instant Contraction: Patients see a noticeable tightening effect right after the procedure.

• Rapid Cooling: Protects the surrounding tissues and the outer surface of the skin, minimizing thermal damage and risk.

• Collagen Stimulation: The process triggers the body's natural healing response, promoting new collagen (neocollagenesis) for long-term improvement.

• Minimally Invasive: Performed through tiny, discreet incisions (3-5mm), resulting in virtually no visible scarring compared to a body lift.

Common Treatment Areas for Renuvion

Renuvion is highly versatile and can be used on almost any area of the body where skin laxity is a concern.

• Arms: Addressing laxity and improving upper arm contour.

• Abdomen: Tightening loose skin around the naval, often after pregnancy or weight loss.

• Flanks/Back: Smoothing "love handles" and bra rolls.

• Thighs: Improving skin tone on the inner and outer thighs, and above the knees.

• Neck & Jawline: Providing significant definition to the lower face and neck (an FDA-cleared application).

Renuvion with Liposuction: The Power Couple

While Renuvion can be used as a standalone skin tightening procedure, Dr. Hall often finds the most impressive results come from combining it with Liposuction.

1. Liposuction: Removes excess, stubborn fat deposits to sculpt the area.

2. Renuvion: Tightens the overlying skin that might otherwise remain loose after the fat is removed.

This dual approach ensures you get the best possible contour—less fat and tighter skin—through the smallest possible incisions.

Is Renuvion Right For Me?

Renuvion is an excellent option for patients in Omaha and surrounding communities who:

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity (sagging or loose skin) due to aging, moderate weight loss, or post-pregnancy changes.

• Are at or near their ideal body weight.

• Desire noticeable tightening but want to avoid the extensive incisions and longer downtime associated with a full surgical lift (like a tummy tuck or arm lift).

• Are combining it with liposuction to maximize their body contouring results.

Note: For patients with severe skin laxity (e.g., following massive weight loss), a traditional surgical procedure like an Abdominoplasty or Body Lift may still be the necessary path to achieve optimal skin removal. Dr. Hall will help determine the best procedure for your specific needs during your consultation.

Recovering with Renuvion

Because Renuvion is minimally invasive, the recovery is typically shorter than traditional surgery.

• Downtime: Most patients can return to light, daily activities within 2-4 days.

• Compression: A compression garment must be worn for several weeks to manage swelling and support the contracting skin.

• Results: You will see an immediate initial result, with continued, progressive improvement occurring over the next 6 to 12 months as new collagen is generated.
