I am having J Plasma on my arms, back of legs, knees, and stomach as recommended by a doctor because I have cellulite and semi droopy skin but no fat. I haven't been able to find out much info on this process to the body only the face (its different than face and goes internal). Does anyone have any info on this procedure and what to expect? Have you ever done this procedure or heard of this on the body? Is it invasive? What is the recovery time? Will I be in pain?

Answer: J-plasma body skin tightening J-plasma is a true paradigm shift in body contouring and plastic surgery. Previously we have had: (1) liposuction, where skin shrinkage is passive, following fat removal. No lipo device has been shown to be TRULY(significant) effective at shrinking body skin; (2) excisional body contouring surgery, and (3) over the last 5-6 years---an area I helped innovate and define--- non invasive skin tightening(Ultherapy and Profound). Dr Zamora serendipitously discovered J-plasma's ability to shrink skin on the neck and then the abdomen. We are good friends and he introduced the technology to me. I subsequently pioneered it's use on the body, areas include: arms, armpit skin, back and bra strap, hip and flank, breast, abdomen, thighs, knees, buttock and calf and ankle. We are both clinical and research instructors for Bovie Medical. The helium plasma is a low heat modality that shrinks the supportive subcutaneous tissues, tightening the skin. It is safe(based on it's history with other clinical indications) and in my experience works by a mechanism that shrinks skin on the table as well as post opertively, allowing one to shape, contour and tighten skin. To date my experience as well as that of my patients has been as close to 100% positive as is possible in medicine. The recovery is generally described as easier than lipo(70%) and slightly worse(30%); there have been no significant complains of pain.
