Doctor recommended Cool Helium Plasma Skin Resurfacing (J Plasma) treatment. Any advice or comments on this procedure? (photo)

Question

My doctor recommends the treatment for my entire face, especially targeting the "ex-smoker's" lines above my upper lip, and the acne scarring, wrinkling & large pores on my chin. I haven't seen any publicity on the treatment, is it new? The before & after photos of my Doctor's patients show fabulous results. I am 59 yrs old, and a redhead with very light skin. I've had 3 laser treatments on these areas already, with only slight improvement. Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hello and thank-you for your question and photo. Cool Helium Resurfacing with J-Plasma ans is producing truly spectacular results.  I would definitely recommend it. It is providing correction of fine lines and wrinkles much better in a single treatment than any other technology that we have available.  I would recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in methods of skin resurfacing.Best regards, Andrew Lyos MD, Facs

Renuvion / J-Plasma is an emerging technique for skin resurfacing.  It is good for your situation and can be used in addition to or instead of laser treatment (though not at the same time!).  Other treatments can also help thicken and treat the skin. It is so important that you seek the advice of a surgeon who is certified by the american board of plastic surgery.  I wish you the best,Dr. Gabbay.

Thank you for the question. This is a relatively new treatment and is not as widespread as other treatments and therefore there is not much in the press about it.It is showing some very good effects with respect to fine lines and wrinkles. The reaction is shrinking the musculocutaneous ligaments under the skin and this aids in quite extensive skin tightening. The effects are quite impressive and the results that surgeons are achieving are pushing more towards this form of treatment to aid lines and wrinkles.I hope this is of help to youBW

J plasma gives spectacular results and it sounds like you may be a candidate. We believe from our office experience with the technique that it will become the new gold standard in resurfacing. It’s best to go for a personal consultation.

Cool Helium Plasma is a cutting edge technology that combines radio frequency energy with inert helium gas to create a plasma that can ablate tissue in a very precise fashion. Plastic surgeons are now using it to resurface facial skin with amazing results. CO2 laser resurfacing is often compared, but in my opinion they're not close. J-Plasma is safer, more precise, and effective in a single treatment compared to multiple treatments often required by lasers. It is ideal for Fitzpatrick 1s and 2s, with dyschromias, old acne scars, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Based on your photo and description, you appear to be a great candidate. In my practice I have stopped treating specific areas and now advise patients to treat the whole face, as the demarcation between treated and untreated skin is significant. Talk to your doctor about this. Also the healing time is prolonged. But on the back end, the results are more than amazing. I wish you the best!

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. Emer

I haven't seen better results for wrinkles around the mouth than with Smartskin Plus fractional CO2 resurfacing. Smartskin Plus is very safe, even for maximal results, if proper protocols are followed and produces natural looking results.

Kathleen Waldorf, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for question.  The J-plasma helium laser has proven to be more effective and safer than alternative lasers for the treatment of the lines around your mouth, ("smoker lines") and overall skin issues.  You can expect up to two weeks to recover but based on your photo and description of your skin concerns, I feel your outcome will be well worth it! Good luck!

Terry E. Restivo, DO · Answer

Yes, J-Plasma is new but it is spectacular. I would definitely recommend it. It is, by far, the best resurfacing tool we have to date!
