Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a cutting-edge skin tightening treatment that uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled bursts of heat beneath the skin. This innovative technology shrinks and tightens underlying tissues without damaging the surface, resulting in smoother and firmer skin. Performed through tiny keyhole incisions, a slim Renuvion probe is inserted under the skin to precisely target and contract tissues. The procedure can be combined with Vaser liposuction to remove excess fat and create channels for more effective tightening. Renuvion offers a less invasive alternative to surgical skin removal, helping to contour and sculpt the body with minimal downtime and no large scars.
At Kat & Co, this advanced procedure is carried out by our team of highly skilled aesthetic experts with extensive experience in body contouring and skin rejuvenation.
Renuvion harnesses advanced plasma technology to tighten the skin by stimulating the natural production of collagen. The treatment combines helium gas with radiofrequency energy, which undergoes an ionisation process to create a highly controlled stream of plasma. This plasma is then applied with precision to targeted areas of the skin using specialised equipment.
As the energy is delivered beneath or across the skin, it causes the tissues to contract while also encouraging long-term collagen regeneration. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter, distinct from solids, liquids, and gases. When helium is energised to this state, it can be used to gently heat and remodel tissue. In body contouring treatments, this technology can assist in melting stubborn fat deposits and enhancing skin definition—commonly used on areas such as the abdomen, arms, flanks, neck, and chin.
Combining Vaser Liposuction with Renuvion allows for both fat removal and skin tightening in a single, highly effective treatment—ideal for achieving a more sculpted and refined appearance.
The procedure typically begins with Vaser Liposuction, a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasound energy to break down and liquefy fat cells in the targeted area. After the area is numbed with local anaesthetic, small incisions are made, and a cannula is inserted to gently remove the unwanted fat with precision.
Once the fat has been removed, the Renuvion device is introduced through the same small incisions. Using patented cold plasma technology, Renuvion delivers a combination of radiofrequency energy and helium gas beneath the skin. This creates a controlled plasma beam that contracts the underlying tissues while triggering collagen production—resulting in visibly tighter, smoother skin.
Unlike traditional skin-tightening procedures, Renuvion works deep below the surface, promoting long-term firmness and enhancing skin tone and texture. It also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, laxity, and blemishes for a more youthful, contoured result.
By combining Vaser Liposuction with Renuvion, patients can enjoy the dual benefits of body sculpting and smoother skin—all with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.

Recovery time following a Renuvion procedure typically ranges from two to three weeks, depending on the size of the area treated and the extent of the procedure. Larger areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, may require slightly more downtime than smaller regions like the neck or jawline.
Most patients can expect to experience some post-treatment symptoms, which are usually mild and manageable. Common side effects include:
These effects are part of the normal healing process and usually resolve on their own. Over-the-counter or prescribed medication can be used if needed for added comfort, though severe symptoms are rare.
Many individuals are able to return to light daily activities within 2 to 5 days, though full recovery may take longer depending on the area treated and individual healing response.
To support healing and maximise results, compression garments or wraps are often recommended during the initial recovery period. These help reduce swelling, improve comfort, and assist with optimal skin retraction while resting or sleeping.
Everyone’s recovery journey is unique. At Kat & Co, we offer personalised aftercare and guidance to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
