J-Plasma / Renuvion is the most modern and technologically advanced solution for tightening loose skin after lipo. At Skin & Skinnier, it is a very small add-on cost that cosmetically sharpens your skin and your overall figure after lipo.
The “Shrink-Wrap” Effect for Your New Silhouette
While awake liposuction is the gold standard for removing stubborn fat, the goal at Skin and Skinnier is to ensure your skin looks as lean and tight as your new contours. If you are concerned about skin laxity or “sagging” after fat removal, J-Plasma, also called Renuvion, is the essential add-on. This revolutionary technology acts as a high-tech “shrink-wrap,” tightening the skin from the inside out to ensure a smooth, firm, and high-definition result.

Why Add J-Plasma to Your San Diego Liposuction?
Many patients worry that removing fat will leave behind loose or “deflated” skin. Traditionally, the only answer was an invasive lift or tuck surgery involving long scars. J-Plasma bridges that gap. By combining Dr. Torres’s expert sculpting with J-Plasma / Renuvion technology, we can achieve surgical-level tightening with just a tiny incision.
How J-Plasma Works Beneath the Skin
J-Plasma / Renuvion uses a combination of cold helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy. During your procedure, Dr. Torres inserts a specialized wand through the same small incisions used for your liposuction. The plasma energy creates an instant contraction of the collagen fibers and connective tissues. This doesn’t just tighten the surface; it creates a deep, structural firming that continues to improve for months as your body produces fresh, new collagen.
The Benefits of a “Lipo + J-Plasma” Combo
At our San Diego boutique, we specialize in the “combi-procedure” because it offers a level of refinement that lipo alone cannot match:
• Instant Contraction: You can often see an immediate “snap back” of the skin during
the procedure.
• No New Incisions: Dr. Torres utilizes the existing, freckle-sized lipo ports, meaning no additional scarring.
• Safety First: Like our lipo, J-Plasma is performed as an awake procedure under local tumescent anesthesia. You avoid the risks and “hangover” of general anesthesia.
• High-Definition Results: Perfect for targeting the “bra bulge,” “bat wings” (arms), or the “mummy tummy” area where skin needs extra help to stay tight.
What to Expect During Your Awake Procedure
At Skin and Skinnier, your comfort is our priority. Because you are awake and relaxed, the process is interactive. Dr. Torres can precisely target areas of laxity while you listen to music or chat with our team. The addition of J-Plasma only adds a short amount of time to your session but provides a lifetime of difference in how your skin adheres to your muscles.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a J-Plasma add-on is remarkably similar to standard awake lipo. While you may feel a “tightening” sensation in the treated area, most patients return to their normal San Diego lifestyle within a few days. The best part? While the initial tightening is
instant, your results actually get better over the next 3 to 6 months as the new collagen matures.
Is J-Plasma / Renuvion Right for You?
If you have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to avoid the downtime of a tummy tuck or arm lift, you are likely the perfect candidate for the J-Plasma add-on. During your personalized consultation at our La Jolla office, Dr. Torres will assess your skin’s elasticity and create a custom plan to ensure you leave feeling “skinnier” and tighter than ever.
