J-Plasma for Face - Dunedin, FL

Thanks Deborah. The going is still slow....still peeling at times here and there and my eye area is a bit dark. As I said to Kaitee somewhere above, I'm going to reserve final judgment for a few months - but I will add that all these people who look 15 years younger in the before and after pics after 6 weeks or so - that has not been my experience unfortunately.

I think they usually do some kind of lifting or under skin tightening along with it

Hi. It was my understanding that the procedure itself significantly tightens the skin.....and I think I do see some of that - however, my main reason for doing it was textural irregularities and to diminish some scarring, and I'm not seeing any major improvement there....but the worst part is the darkness around my eyes. I believe it is getting better. I may be a slow healer/late bloomer. As I said earlier, I'm going to reserve final judgment for at least another month and will report back!

Definitely post a review and best of luck

Thanks very much Healing. It's been a wild ride.... Will let y'all know!

Thank you for your re- posts and keeping us updated. Xoxo

You're a sweetie. My pleasure. We have to help one another when we can. : )

Hi, I am 7 weeks post tomorrow. I wasn't able to find all these reviews until I searched renuvion. It seems like I am having somewhat of same results as you Undo2u. I believe we are probably pigmented similarly.i am biracial and often mistaken for Latin. I have had prolonged redness and my doctor, Dr. Wallace prescribed me a typical steroid to help reduce redness. I certainly see tightening everywhere including eyelids but right now not sure the benefits outweigh the cons. Actually, unless I am blown away from my results I would not do it again either. I feel like there are easier ways that don't require this downtime to achieve the same results. My main objective was the sogginess around my mouth and jawline, not my skin tone or texture. so now that my skin tone is blotchy in most places and under my eyes is thicker, redder and has bumpy I am not positive my skin will ever be smooth again..Dr. Wallace did tell me he was more aggressive in those areas so it makes sense that it's taking longer to heal. I will be doing my own review soon & like you reserving my judgment after a few months & hoping I didn't make the biggest mistake of my life. How are you doing now? .

Thanks for the feedback, Kaitee. I'm about 7 weeks out and I'm not terribly impressed yet - but I'll reserve final judgment for a few months. Like you, my under-eye area looks funny - in my case dark - but it appears to be improving. I am seeing the Doc next week - I'll see what he has to say. So after five months, since you did have noticeable positive improvement in some areas - would you say (overall) you are glad that you did it or not?

Overall, my skin looks better than it did at 30(I'm 63), IF you overlook the melasmia, red underneath my eyes and the scarring. Those are improving a bit with treatment, however. I am thrilled with my eyelids lifting(I needed an upper bleph) and my overall skin tightening(I had enough excess that a facelift had been suggested). I'm just a no-frills kind of gal most of the time and like to slap on some moisturizer and sunblock and go...but no more. Without makeup, I look worse than I did before. So, if the treatments reduce the issues well enough, I will be quite happy. I'm just hoping that my Doc is able to do that, when I see so many stories on here of people who have to live with their scars.
BTW, one treatment has been PRP with Dermapen. Helped improve the scars a bit, definitely improved the redness, but wowie...tighened my neck really well!

I am 3 weeks post J plasma and very disappointed in my results. A few sun damaged freckles are gone but my fine lines and wrinkles around my mouth and under my eyes are about the same. My eyes are very red and I have a few red patches on my face. I’m concerned this will never go away. The recovery wasn’t easy and I feel like it was all for poor results. Does anyone know of the wrinkles could still get better or what I see now is it?

Thanks Kaitee.....maybe additional improvement will happen over time? That's what I'm hoping for. I am going to look into the Dermapen thing if need be. I've heard of many people having success with it.

Wow Koz - I'm very sorry to hear it. I must say at 3 weeks I was still looking pretty awful and I look better now, so maybe wait a few more weeks for collagen to build? Having said that "I look better now" still not good enough to justify the recovery and expense.....not yet anyway, but I DO see some signs of additional improvement happening. (I'm at about 7.5 weeks post now). Hope it's not my imagination. Going back to the Doc next week. Let's see what he says. How about your Doc? What is he/she saying?

Thanks for the encouragement that collagen could continue to improve things, that’s the part I wasn’t sure of. I go to my doctor this week and have a list of questions

Kaitee thanks for all the great information. From a wrinkle and fine lines perspective, did you see the results after the old skin came off or did it get better over time with collegan?

Please let us know what your Doc says. This mornings report: Right now I seem to be going through another bout of mini-peeling and I see more tightening. (The collagen production we have been talking about?) The discolorations seem to be evening out also. I must say my chin area looks very good - may be the best part. I will add that I had a hard time recovering just *under* the chin, ears, and neck (he didn't go far down on the neck - but that area healed very annoyingly!) Looking forward to your Doc report!

Both! I finally did my review at like 9 months out. Good SPF makeup is crucial.

Hi CD. I also had C02 (and others) with very little help. Waste of time and money!!! Going to post a before pic (now) for what it's worth. See my comment to Debora (above) for more info.

Thank you.i just above never heard of this will definitely read up on it
