PureLipo + J Plasma (Renuvion)
Sculpt and tighten with advanced body contouring.
“PureLipo + J Plasma (Renuvion)” is a body contouring treatment that combines traditional liposuction (fat removal) with Renuvion skin tightening technology. The goal is to remove unwanted fat while also tightening loose or lax skin for smoother, more sculpted results.
During the procedure:
- Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas such as the chin, neck, and arms.
- After fat removal, the Renuvion wand is inserted beneath the skin through the same small incisions used for the liposuction.
- The device delivers a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to contract collagen fibers and stimulate additional collagen production.
- This helps tighten the tissue under the skin and improve contour definition.
Renuvion is FDA-cleared for use after liposuction and for contracting subcutaneous soft tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is J Plasma / Renuvion?
Renuvion is a minimally invasive skin-tightening technology that uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to tighten tissue and improve skin laxity.
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include:
- Chin and neck
- Arms
- Knees
Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates are typically:
- Near their goal weight
In generally good health - Struggling with stubborn fat and mild-to-moderate loose skin
- Looking for improvement without large surgical scars
Patients with severe excess skin after major weight loss may still require procedures like a tummy tuck or body lift.
Is the procedure surgical?
Yes, it is considered minimally invasive surgery. Small incisions are used for liposuction and insertion of the Renuvion cannula.
Is anesthesia required?
The procedure is performed under tumescent anesthesia immediately after PureLipo while the area is still numb.
How long does the procedure take?
Renuvion typically adds about 30 minutes per treatment area to a standard liposuction procedure.
What is recovery like?
The recovery usually involves no more than does liposuction alone.
Many return to desk work within several days, though full healing and skin tightening continue for months. Compression garments are commonly recommended.
When will I see results?
Some tightening may be noticeable immediately, but final results usually develop over 6–9 months as collagen remodeling occurs.
Are the results permanent?
Results can be long-lasting if weight remains stable and healthy lifestyle habits are maintained.
Does Renuvion replace a tummy tuck?
Not always. Renuvion works best for mild-to-moderate skin laxity. Patients with muscle separation and significant hanging skin may still need surgical repair and skin removal procedures.
What are the risks?
There is minimal additional risk to adding Renuvion to liposuction.
