Does J-Plasma on the thighs have an effect similar to Cellfina/subcision? Does it release the bond of the fascia?

Question

I’m interested in subcision on my thighs to release the fascia bond. Does J-Plasma release the bond, have an effect like subcision that will untether the dimples or would I need to ask for this separately?

J plasma treats the superficial portion of the skin. It does not perform subcision. Cellfina and the new Profound unit do subscise tethers from cellulite. The Profound unit also tightens lax skin.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star

J-Plasma does not perform a subcision. Only Cellfina releases the fascial bands. J-Plasma works superficially to tighten the skin.

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) does not have a subcision effect. Renuvion is used for tightening or shrinking of the fibril-septal network beneath the skin as well as having a skin tightening effect. Release of the fascia bonds in the thighs must be done very carefully as there can be a loss of supportive tissue resulting in increased laxity. As we age, this is an area especially prone to laxity.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
