Both are usually proposed as a one time treatment rather than a series of treatments. However, depending upon the aggressiveness of the CO2 treatment, it can be repeated in several months if needed. Once the J plasma is done, I would not consider another resurfacing treatment until after a year. But with J plasma, the results are so good that I would not expect that the procedure would not require re treatment for several years.
Most people need only one CO2 or J-Plasma treatment at a time. However, if additional results are desired, more than one treatment can be done. I will do a second CO2 after about 6 months and another J-Plasma after about a year. Even with the amazing results that both procedures can achieve, the aging process continues. Some of my patients like to do a CO2 every 3-5 years in order to combat the aging. J-Plasma is so new that we don't yet know how often patients will want to repeat it.
J-Plasma / Renuvion is a fantastic tool for skin resurfacing, but does have some downtime. You can expect to stay out of the public for 10-14 days while your skin heals (there will be oozing for the first couple of days). Your skin will be red and sensitive for the next few weeks, with mild r...
So, just to clarify - does the skin treated by the J plasma have a lighter color and the untreated skin your prior normal color? We can see this after full field resurfacing with CO2 lasers and J plasma and is called 'porcelain skin changes'. This is hard to treat, but as Dr. Emerick...
Cool Helium Plasma or J-Plasma is a cutting edge technology that plastic surgeons are now using to resurface facial skin with amazing results. The downtime is pretty significant, similar to having surgery, I tell my patients to plan on being off of work for two weeks and then...
Thanks for sharing. The aging eyelid composes of loose skin, prolapsing fat and possibly muscle. Laser skin resurfacing whether it is J Plasma or Fraction CO2 will only treat mild loose skin. A blepharoplasty addresses all of the variables contributing to the aging eyelid. Discuss with seve...
Cool helium plasma uses radiofrequency and helium gas to resurface the skin without causing a lot of redness. Like lasers, you'll need several treatments to see a real change. Microneedling with PRP will help fill out the deeper lines with plasma and new collagen. Please see an expert. Best, Dr....
Hi Warmhearted 673515, I have performed Renuvion for lip lines with better success than CO2 laser or IPL, microneedling, etc. The Renuvion technology generates tissue contraction that is superior because it is an fully ablative (i.e. removes top layer of skin). Lasers that fractionate the...
