Subdermal Abdominal Tightening

The abdomen is the most frequent site for J-Plasma application. It is ideal for patients who have a “pooch” or loose skin after pregnancy or weight fluctuations, but do not have enough excess skin to justify the long scar of a tummy tuck.

The procedure tightens the entire abdominal wall, from the rib cage to the pubis. Shrinking the septal attachments helps to flatten the belly and define the waistline. It is particularly effective for treating the periumbilical (around the belly button) crinkling that often plagues post-partum women.

  • Tightening of the whole abdominal wall
  • Definition of the waist and flanks
  • Correction of periumbilical skin laxity
  • Flattening of the lower abdominal “pooch.”
  • Minimally invasive alternative for post-partum skin

Neck and Submental Rejuvenation

The neck and submental area (under the chin) are prime targets for J-Plasma. It is often marketed as a minimally invasive neck lift. The plasma energy is delivered through tiny incisions behind the ears and under the chin to tighten the skin and define the jawline.

This procedure is excellent for treating the “turkey gobbler” look or mild jowling. Tightening the skin and the underlying platysmal fascia creates a sharper cervicomental angle. It offers a significant improvement for patients who are not ready for a surgical facelift or neck lift.

  • Definition of the mandibular border (jawline)
  • Tightening of the submental “wattle.”
  • Improvement of the cervicomental angle
  • Minimally invasive neck contouring
  • Treatment of mild to moderate jowls

Brachial (Arm) Contouring

Loose skin on the upper arms, often called “bat wings,” is a common complaint, especially after weight loss or with aging. Traditional arm lifts (brachioplasty) leave a long, visible scar down the arm. J-Plasma offers a scarless alternative for patients with moderate laxity.

By treating the underside of the arm, the plasma energy shrinks the redundant skin, pulling it tighter against the muscle. While it cannot remove massive amounts of hanging skin, it can significantly reduce the circumference and wobble of the arm without the trade-off of a long scar.

  • Reduction of posterior arm skin laxity
  • Tightening of the “bat wing” deformity
  • Scarless alternative to brachioplasty
  • Improvement of arm circumference
  • Enhancement of tricep definition 

Thigh and Knee Tightening

The inner thighs and knees are notoriously difficult areas to treat. The skin is thin and prone to crinkling. Traditional liposuction can sometimes make the skin look worse by deflating it. J-Plasma is a game-changer for this region.

The precise energy delivery tightens the crepey skin of the inner thighs and smooths the wrinkles above the knees. It helps to lift the tissue, reducing the appearance of sagging and improving the overall texture of the leg skin.

  • Tightening of the medial thigh skin
  • Smoothing of supra-patellar (knee) wrinkles
  • Improvement of crepey skin texture
  • Lifting of sagging thigh tissues
  • Prevention of post-liposuction irregularity

Flank and Back Smoothing

The flanks (love handles) and the back (bra line) often have thick, fibrous skin. While liposuction removes the bulk, the skin may not retract well, leading to folds. J-Plasma is used to “shrink-wrap” this thick skin.

The heating of the fibrous septae in the back is particularly effective. It smooths out the rolls and folds that create bulges under clothing. This results in a smoother, more athletic dorsal silhouette and a tighter waistline.

  • Smoothing of bra line rolls
  • Tightening of the flank skin folds
  • “Shrink-wrapping” of thick dorsal skin
  • Definition of the posterior waist
  • Reduction of skin redundancy on the back

Male Chest Contouring (Gynecomastia)

  • In the treatment of gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts), removing the gland and fat is only half the battle. The chest skin must retract to the muscle to create a masculine, flat appearance. Loose skin can ruin the result.

    J-Plasma is routinely used after gynecomastia surgery to ensure the skin adheres tightly to the pectoralis muscle. This prevents the “empty bag” look and helps define the pectoral border, giving the patient a more chiseled and athletic chest contour.

    • Adhesion of skin to the pectoralis muscle
    • Prevention of post-surgical skin sagging.
    • Definition of the pectoral border
    • Enhancement of the masculine chest contour
    • Finishing touch for gynecomastia repair

Banana Roll Correction

  • The “banana roll” is the pocket of fat and loose skin found just under the buttock crease. Treating this area with liposuction alone is risky, as it can cause the buttocks to droop. J-Plasma allows for safe tightening of this area.

    By stimulating collagen and contracting the skin, J-Plasma can lift and smooth the banana roll without compromising the buttocks’ structural support. This improves the transition from the thigh to the gluteal region.

    • Lifting of the infragluteal fold
    • Smoothing of the banana roll bulge
    • Safe tightening without buttock ptosis
    • Improvement of the thigh-buttock transition
    • Correction of sub-gluteal laxity

High-Definition Etching Enhancement

  • For patients seeking “six-pack” abs, High-Definition liposuction carves out the muscle lines. J-Plasma is the essential partner in this procedure. It tightens the skin into the newly created grooves.

    Without J-Plasma, the skin might bridge over the muscle etchings, obscuring the definition. The plasma energy ensures the skin follows the underlying topography of the muscles, making the “abs” pop and providing a crisp, defined result.

    • Deepening of muscle etching lines
    • Adhesion of skin to the linea alba/semilunaris
    • Enhancement of abdominal muscularity
    • Prevention of skin bridging over grooves
    • creation of crisp, high-definition results

Cellulite Improvement

  • fibrous bands pulling the skin downward while fat pushes it upward. J-Plasma cuts some of these bands and tightens the skin surface.

    By thickening the dermis through neocollagenesis, J-Plasma improves the skin’s ability to conceal underlying fat irregularities. This leads to a smoother surface texture, particularly on the thighs and buttocks.

    • Release of some fibrous septae
    • Thickening of the dermis to hide fat
    • Smoothing of surface irregularities
    • Improvement in skin tension
    • Adjunctive treatment for cellulite

Post-Weight Loss Contouring

  • Patients who have lost a moderate amount of weight often have generalized skin laxity. J-Plasma can be used as a “whole body” tightening tool. It can treat multiple areas in a single session to firm up the skin.

    While it cannot replace body-lifting surgery for massive weight-loss patients, it is excellent for those with 20-40 lbs of weight loss who have loose skin that exercise cannot fix. It provides a non-excisional option for refining the body’s new shape.

    • Generalized tightening for moderate weight loss
    • Multi-area treatment capability
    • Firming of deflated skin envelopes
    • Non-excisional refinement option
    • The bridge between weight loss and surgery

Facial Resurfacing (External Use)

  • J-Plasma can be used externally on the face to treat deep wrinkles, particularly around the mouth (smoker’s lines) and eyes. Plasma energy ablates the top layer of skin and heats the deeper layers to stimulate massive collagen growth.

    This is a powerful resurfacing tool that can erase years of sun damage and deep static lines. It requires a longer recovery than the subdermal treatment, but offers results comparable to those of deep chemical peels or CO2 laser resurfacing.

    • Ablation of deep perioral rhytids
    • Resurfacing of severe photodamage
    • Stimulation of facial collagen
    • Erasure of static facial lines
    • Profound skin rejuvenation

Breast Lifting (Select Cases)

  • perform a “scarless” breast lift. The energy is delivered to the subcutaneous breast tissue to shrink the skin envelope.

    This lifts the breast mound slightly and firms the skin. It is not a substitute for a surgical mastopexy for patients with significant sagging, but for those needing just a little “perk up,” it offers an option without the anchor-shaped scars.

    • Mild lifting of the breast mound
    • Tightening of the breast skin envelope
    • “Scarless” alternative for minor ptosis
    • Firming of breast tissue
    • Adjunct to breast augmentation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does it work on stretch marks?

J-Plasma can improve the texture of stretch marks by stimulating collagen, making them feel firmer and look smoother. However, it cannot completely remove them, as stretch marks are deep scars in the dermis.

Yes, it is used on the face in two ways: subdermally to tighten the jawline and neck (subdermal), and topically to resurface wrinkles (ablative). The recovery and results for these two applications are very different.

J-Plasma can tighten the skin on the buttocks and improve the surface texture, but it will not give you a “BBL” (Brazilian Butt Lift) effect. It does not add volume or significantly change the shape of the gluteal muscle itself.

Yes, it is a popular part of a “mommy makeover” for women who have loose skin but don’t want a full tummy tuck scar. It can be combined with breast augmentation and liposuction for a comprehensive restoration.

Yes, J-Plasma is often used in revision surgery. It can help smooth out lumps and bumps from previous liposuction by tightening the loose skin and melting any remaining irregular fat pockets.
