Precision skin tightening powered by cold plasma technology
J-Plasma, also known as Renuvion, is one of the most advanced skin-tightening technologies available today. It combines radiofrequency energy with cold plasma to contract tissue immediately while stimulating long-term collagen remodelling. For patients seeking firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin without traditional surgery, Renuvion offers an innovative solution.
At the practice of Dr. Matteo Vigo, this treatment is performed with a high level of precision and attention to anatomical detail. Whether used alone or alongside liposuction, Renuvion helps redefine contours, tighten loose skin, and restore confidence with minimal downtime.
What makes Renuvion unique?
Renuvion uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy, producing a controlled thermal effect that contracts tissue safely and effectively. Unlike standard RF devices, the cold plasma cools the tissue almost instantly, allowing for:
- Rapid tightening
- Precise energy delivery
- Reduced thermal damage
- Better safety profile
This technology allows deeper tissue tightening that is not possible with superficial skin devices.
Ideal treatment areas
Renuvion can be used on multiple parts of the face and body where loose or sagging skin is a concern.
Face and neck
Improves jawline definition, softens jowls, and tightens neck skin for a more structured profile.
Abdomen
Enhances results after liposuction and addresses laxity from weight changes or pregnancy.
Arms
Reduces the appearance of “bat wings” and firms the upper arms.
Thighs
Smooths and tightens inner and outer thigh areas.
Back and flanks
Improves folds and laxity, especially after weight loss.
Lower body
Can support contouring results after procedures like tummy tuck or body lift.
Dr. Vigo determines the ideal areas for treatment based on your skin quality, lifestyle, and goals.
How the procedure is performed
Depending on the treatment area, Renuvion may be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
During the procedure:
- A tiny entry point is made to insert a fine cannula
- Cold plasma energy is delivered beneath the skin
- The tissue contracts immediately
- Collagen production is stimulated for long-term improvement
The handpiece is gently passed beneath the skin in controlled movements to ensure even tightening and smooth results.
When combined with liposuction, Renuvion is performed in the same session to enhance contour definition.
What to expect after treatment
Recovery depends on the treatment area and intensity. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or tightness for a few days. Compression garments may be required for body areas to support healing.
Results develop in two phases:
- Immediate contraction: visible tightening right after the procedure.
- Progressive improvement: continued collagen remodelling over 3–6 months, leading to firmer and more refined contours.
Patients often describe the results as natural, subtle, and steadily improving.
