J-Plasma skin tightening in Dubai —
for mild to moderate skin laxity.
J-Plasma uses plasma energy beneath the skin to help tighten mild to moderate laxity, most often alongside Vaser liposuction. It can help the skin settle over a new contour; it does not replace surgery that removes excess skin.
J-Plasma is a skin-tightening treatment for the body. When fat is removed, the skin above it has to adapt to a smaller shape. If the skin has lost some of its elasticity, J-Plasma can be added to help it contract. Dr Saba Al Marush offers it at Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital, Dubai Healthcare City, after an assessment of your skin and goals.
What is J-Plasma?
J-Plasma combines helium gas with radiofrequency energy to create a fine, controlled plasma stream. It is delivered through a slim cannula placed under the skin through small entry points, so it works from beneath the surface rather than on the skin itself.
The energy heats the tissue just under the skin in a controlled way, which makes it contract. Over the following months the skin can sit more firmly over the treated area. Because it is introduced through the same kind of small openings used for liposuction, it is often performed in the same session as Vaser.
Who J-Plasma is for.
J-Plasma may suit you if:
- you have mild to moderate skin laxity on areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs or back
- you are planning Vaser liposuction and are concerned about how your skin will settle afterwards
- your weight is stable and you are in good general health
- you understand that the improvement is gradual and moderate
What J-Plasma cannot do. It does not remove skin. Heavy or overhanging skin, for example after pregnancy or major weight loss, needs surgery that cuts the excess skin away. On the abdomen this is a tummy tuck, which Dr Saba performs. Excisional lifts of the arms, thighs or body are operations Dr Saba does not perform; if J-Plasma would not be enough for your skin, she will tell you so. J-Plasma is not a weight-loss treatment and is not a cellulite treatment.
Your J-Plasma treatment.
Consultation
Dr Saba assesses your skin quality and laxity and explains whether Vaser, J-Plasma, a tummy tuck or a combination fits your goals.
Planning
The areas to treat are agreed and marked, usually together with the areas planned for Vaser.
Treatment
Performed in the operating theatre at Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital, often in the same session as Vaser liposuction.
Recovery
A compression garment, follow-up visits and a gradual return to activity as Dr Saba advises.
What recovery involves.
Swelling, bruising, tightness and some numbness are expected in the treated areas and ease over the following weeks. When J-Plasma is combined with Vaser liposuction, recovery follows the liposuction plan.
Compression garment: Dr Saba’s rule after body surgery is a compression garment for 3 months. Wearing it as advised helps the skin settle over the new contour.
Tightening develops gradually, so the result is judged over months rather than days. Dr Saba reviews your progress at follow-up visits.
