Are surface J-Plasma or CO2 one-time only treatments?

Question

Even the light ones?

Brian K. Machida, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Lisa Jenks, MD · Answer

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.
