Our faces are so often exposed to the sun’s damaging rays. This sun exposure and damage, combined with the natural aging process, can result in wrinkles, skin laxity and even irregular skin pigmentation. Face and neck surgery or resurfacing procedures can help to give you a refreshed look, and essentially turn back the clock on many of the concerns you may see when you stand in front of your mirror.

While surgery is a good option for many, a surgical facelift or resurfacing procedure might not be the best choice for your needs. There is the cost factor, the recovery time needed, and the fact that a surgical facelift won’t resurface your skin and a resurfacing procedure will not address skin laxity..

Dr. Pamela Henderson carries a belief that facial cosmetic procedures in Arizona should be done in such a manner that they achieve a natural-looking balance, without that just-been-operated-on appearance so often seen with cosmetic procedures.

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation options can often provide you with that fresh and natural-looking skin. Renuvion, powered by J Plasma, works to remove those trouble spots and/or tighten skin laxity to  give you the results that you’ve been looking for.

What is J Plasma Renuvion?

J Plasma is a technologically advanced energy device that works to combine the unique properties of RF energy and cold helium plasma. The helium plasma works to focus the RF energy, to give greater control over effect on the tissue, and enabling a higher precision level. This also virtually eliminates unintended trauma to the tissue. This technology has dual applications.  It allows Dr. Henderson to both firm up loose skin using a subdermal minimally invasive approach and smooth away those lines and differences in skin pigmentation using topical application. J Plasma Renuvion can be used on many areas of the body to tighten areas of skin laxity including the upper arms, abdomen, hips, back and anterior thighs.

What are the benefits of Renuvion?

There are some great benefits to this non-surgical minimally invasive procedure.  As an alternative to facelift, there is of course the cost factor to consider. This procedure costs considerably less than the traditional face lift options. Because this is a non-surgical procedure, you’ll have much less by way of recovery time to consider.

The lowered risk of injury to your surrounding tissue is also important, as it’ll have an impact on the type of results that you see, along with the length of recovery you’ll experience.  As a resurfacing procedure, it is comparable in results and downtime to the fully ablative CO2 laser which is more dramatic than can be achieved with fractional lasers..

Am I a good candidate for Renuvion?

During your consultation with Dr. Henderson you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your areas of concern, along with your complete medical history. Understanding your goals, and knowing what you are hoping for, will help Dr. Henderson to determine whether you’ll be a good candidate for J Plasma Renuvion in Scottsdale.

Some of the problematic areas that Renuvion can treat include acne scars, burn scars, sun spots, age spots, wrinkles, melasma, skin laxity and other skin pigmentation differences.

How much does Renuvion with J Plasma cost?

Most insurance providers will consider procedures with J Plasma Renuvion in Scottsdale to be an elective procedure. Unfortunately, this means that the treatment may not be covered. Dr. Henderson’s office wants to ensure that the results you’ll see are available to anyone in need of them, so they accept a number of payment and financing options.

How long does the procedure last?

The office-based procedure using J Plasma Renuvion in Scottsdale will typically take between 1 and 2 hours to perform. Your procedure may take a bit longer, however, if you have more areas of concern for Dr. Henderson to focus on.

How much does the Renuvion treatment hurt?

One of the best aspects of this non-surgical procedure is that it is relatively pain free. The procedure is minimally invasive and works to minimize damage to your skin. A local anesthetic will be administered, in order to ensure your comfort during the procedure itself.

Be sure to discuss any concerns about pain with Dr. Henderson, so that your comfort levels can be maintained.

How long is the Renuvion recovery process?

Most healthy patients are able to return to working within a week and can resume an active healthy lifestyle within 2 to 3 weeks following the J Plasma Renuvion in Scottsdale procedure. Dr. Henderson will evaluate your health and healing progress, to provide you with a timeline that is more tailored to your condition.

How long will my results last with Renuvion?

As with any procedure, there are specifics unique to you that may impact your results, how soon you see results, and how long those results generally last. Many patients see immediate results and continue to see improvements over the following weeks and months as swelling subsides and collagen has had an opportunity to develop.

What are the Renuvion side effects I should know about?

No procedure is without the potential for side effects. Your treatment with J Plasma Renuvion in Scottsdale could include redness, itching, minor swelling, and skin peeling. The more that you protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun, the fewer side effects you’ll experience.
