J-Plasma uses radio frequency energy surrounded by a cool helium cone to provide results that rival some surgical facelifts.  And unlike a surgical facelift, J-Plasma provides full facial resurfacing to restore your skin to a more youthful healthy state in addition to skin tightening.   This is similar to skin resurfacing using ablative techniques like the CO2 laser, but the results are more pronounced. Along with the more pronounced results, go slightly longer healing times as illustrated below.

J-PLAZTY FACE: SURGICAL REJUVENATION WITH MINIMAL INVASIVE APPROACH
Developed by Dr. Jack Zamora, a Cosmetic surgeon in Denver, Colorado, the J-Plazty™ Procedure is a remarkable advancement in minimally invasive face and body rejuvenation.
J-Plazty™ is a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that uses cold plasma energy on the underside of the skin to instantly tighten and rejuvenate anywhere on the face and body. A unique alternative to traditional facelifts, tummy tucks and body sculpting, the J-Plazty™ procedure will shrink and sculpt loose and lax skin without large incisions, downtime or the complications of cosmetic surgery.  
 
 
BENEFITS OF J-PLAZTY FACE
  1. Immediate skin tightening
  2. Improved skin elasticity
  3. Eliminates crepey skin
 
 
“Well, the last time I had a picture taken I could hardly see my eyes because of the weight of heavy eyelid. Then I paid attention to how I was actually using my eyes and I really noticed when I was looking at anything especially the computer I was straining my forehead to see better. Since I have had it done I no longer have to lift the forehead and tilt my head to see. It is amazing! I love…”  D. Rock  63 Yrs Old with Fat Droopy Eyes – Salt Lake City, UT

WHAT IS J-PLAZTY?

J-Plazty™ Face uses cold plasma energy under the skin to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the face and neck giving you natural looking results with minimal downtime and no complications of a traditional facelift. J-Plazty™ is unique because the cold plasma energy applied under the skin creates instant skin contraction resulting in improved laxity, tightening and shrinkage.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

The J-Plazty™ Face Procedure can be performed on men and women of all skin types and all age groups ranging from 30-somethings to 80-year-olds. J-Plazty™ Face is ideal for those with mild to moderate sagging in the lower face, jawline, jowls and neck. A traditional facelift is recommended for those with more advanced needs. Patients choose J-Plazty™ Face because they want good improvement but don’t want the downtime, expense and complications of a traditional surgery.

WHAT IS PLASMA ENERGY?

Cold plasma is created when helium gas is energized by radiofrequency energy and delivered through the J-Plasma® device. Because Helium gas is very stable, it can be ionized at very low energy ensuring flexible, precise and safe delivery. Cold plasma is cooler than laser energy making J-Plazty™ Face a safer procedure with less risk and damage to the tissue, and affording patients a quick recovery. The level of improvement and rejuvenation from cold plasma energy is unrivaled in current technologies. No laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency treatment is capable of tightening and firming skin to this level.

PREPARATION INFORMATION

We will assist you with all of the information you need for exceptional results with your J-Plazty. After your consultation, we will address all of your concerns ahead of time and discuss what your desired results are. We will also explain his techniques and anesthesia options.
​
Prior to your procedure, we recommend you discontinue the use of products containing aspirin, garlic, ginseng, green tea and vitamin E for two weeks, as they may increase the risk of bruising.

PROCEDURE INFORMATION

Performed using sedation anesthesia, we start the J-Plazty™ Face Procedure with three tiny, hidden incisions under the chin and behind each ear. This technique includes invisible absorbable sutures placed under the skin to ensure a natural, long-lasting lift in the lower and mid-face. We will then use the J-Plasma® device sub-dermally (under the skin) to deliver cold plasma, which instantly tightens, shrinks and rejuvenates skin from the inside out. Results are immediate and continue to improve as your body continues to heal.

POST TREATMENT INFORMATION

We will check in with you after your procedure. It is normal for your face and neck to feel a bit tight or sore after the procedure. Minor discomfort can be treated with over the counter Tylenol.

The J-Plazty™ Face Procedure takes about an hour and patients can expect initial tightness in the treated area. Pain is minimal and can be lessened with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Patients wear a facial compression garment for the first 72-hours. Mild swelling and bruising can take one to two weeks to resolve, however most patients are able to resume normal activities three to five days post procedure.

FAQs

Facelifts are performed in an operating theatre for the sake of sterility and your comfort. We have a team of anesthesiologists and nurses who are trained to specifically look after patients undergoing these procedures.
 
 
General anesthesia is best for facelifts, although in some instances, sedation anesthesia may also be used.
 

With a 3-D procedure, there are several layer of sutures, accurately placed to give the lifting, tightening and filling, without leaving any tell-tale pull-lines. Some are slow dissolving sutures, others are more permanent. The skin sutures are generally removed between 7 and 14 days. ​

Lasers will be used to treat peri-oral lines, “sleep lines” on the cheeks and other skin irregularities. The advantage of using all the skills and modalities available to us, rather than performing quick or weekend or one-hour facelifts is that it allows us to give you a remarkable improvement not only in the structure and appearance of the face, but also the health and smoothness of the skin as seen here:
 
Facelift surgery can take between 3 and 5 hours of surgery time, depending upon the planned procedures, patient’s face-type, age and other factors. ​
 
Bruising and swelling are de rigeur! However, significant long-lasting complications are rare.
Bleeding is not common as we pay close attention to proper hemostasis. On rare occasions, a small hematoma may collect.
​
Everyone will experience some numbness in the face: this resolves over weeks to months. This occurs because of the dissection of the face. This is not a complication.
Because of the dissection and repositioning of the tissues, it is common for there to be small differences in the smile between the right and left sides: this is usually only noticeable to the patient and to Dr. Patel! It recovers over a few weeks.

All faces have asymmetry and there will be some degree of asymmetry. This is to be expected.
Permanent weakness of nerves and muscles is rare.
The scars are usually very well hidden. However, some patients may have a tendency to cause hypertrophic scarring: in such cases, certain lasers and treatments will help. By-and-large, scars are rarely a problem. With Caucasian skin, pinkness of scars is to be expected for several weeks. With darker skin, some hyperpigmentation may occur. 
 
Bruising around the jawline and upper neck is common for the first two weeks. The face itself usually will not get much bruising, but may be pink from any laser work. Swelling is to be expected because of the extent of the surgery: the swelling abates over about two weeks. ​
 
Only if insurance will buy you a Rolls Royce (Phantom, of course). ​
 
A sensation of firmness will be there because of the swelling: this is present for the first few days. Most patients do not need prescription pain medication after the first two to three days. ​
 
We will provide you with a special neck dressing which you will wear as much as you can for the first couple of weeks. You will also apply a moisturizer (any brand will do) to the face as healing skin and lasered skin requires moisturizer. Icing the face also helps for the first two to three days. Many of our patients will ice the face for longer as it feels good. You may be up-and-about the day after surgery. Gentle exercise (treadmill and stationary bicycle) may be commenced by day 3. More vigorous exercise like skiing and tennis may be resumed by about day 10. ​
 
Ideally, you should be within about 3 – 5 pounds of your desired weight. Whereas I can create the most beautiful angles and curves in slim patients, if you are able to get close to your ideal weight, we can wonders as can be seen in this patient who lost some weight before her surgery and is absolutely chuffed at her result:
 

In the first few days, everyone will experience some degree of dryness and blurry vision. You will also feel that your lids look a little tight on the outer corner where you will also feel some of the deeper sutures if you put your finger there: this is of no concern. The tightness and the bumps under the skin settle over a few weeks.
More serious complications which are very rare include excessive bleeding, hemorrhage and loss of vision.
