J-Plasma Skin Tightening
Ottawa
Dr. Mehrad Jaberi, FRCSC is the only surgeon in the Ottawa region offering J-Plasma (Renuvion) skin tightening. Tighten loose skin without the scars or recovery of full excisional surgery.
The Only Place in Ottawa to Get Renuvion
If you've searched "J-Plasma Ottawa" or "Renuvion near me" and landed here — you've found the right place. There is currently no other surgeon in the Ottawa region offering this technology.
J-Plasma (marketed as Renuvion by Apyx Medical) is a surgical skin tightening technology that delivers helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, causing immediate tissue contraction and triggering months of progressive collagen remodeling. It was designed to fill the gap between liposuction alone and full excisional surgery — and for the right candidate, it closes that gap decisively.
Dr. Jaberi introduced J-Plasma to his Ottawa practice after his fellowship training, becoming the region's only provider. Patients travel from across the Ottawa Valley — Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orleans, Stittsville, and beyond — specifically for this procedure.
J-Plasma is not available at medispas or through non-surgical providers. It is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon trained in subdermal technique. This is not a radiofrequency surface device. The wand goes beneath the skin.
Dr. Jaberi performs J-Plasma under local (tumescent) anesthesia — no general anesthesia, no IV sedation, no overnight stay. The tumescent fluid numbs each treatment zone completely. You are wide awake throughout, which means faster recovery, no anesthesia risks, and a simpler, more accessible procedure.
That's why the results are in a different category from any non-invasive office treatment: Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Thermage, or any external RF device. If you've tried those and want more — or if you're looking to avoid a full surgery and a general anesthetic — this is the conversation worth having.
During your consultation, Dr. Jaberi will assess your skin quality and give you an honest comparison of your options. If J-Plasma is the right call for your anatomy, you'll know exactly what to expect: which areas, what improvement percentage is realistic, whether to combine with liposuction, and what the full cost will be.

Is J-Plasma Right for You?
J-Plasma fills a specific gap. It's not for everyone — but for the right candidate, it delivers results no other option in Ottawa can match at this level of intervention.
Post-Weight Loss Skin Laxity
You've lost significant weight and have mild-to-moderate loose skin on the abdomen, arms, or thighs — not enough to justify a body lift, but enough to bother you. J-Plasma tightens that in-between zone.
Combining with Liposuction
You're planning liposuction and want to optimize results — J-Plasma tightens the skin envelope while lipo removes the fat underneath, in a single combined session.
Aging Skin Without Excess
Your skin has lost firmness from aging — it's looser than you'd like on the neck, arms, or abdomen — but you don't have enough excess to warrant excisional surgery.
Avoiding Large Scars
The results of a tummy tuck appeal to you, but the hip-to-hip scar is a concern. Your skin laxity is mild-to-moderate, making you a candidate for the less-scarring J-Plasma alternative.
Unsatisfied with Non-Surgical Devices
You've tried Morpheus8, Ultherapy, or similar treatments and want a more significant improvement — J-Plasma is categorically different in its mechanism and results.
Post-Pregnancy Body Concerns
Pregnancy has left mild skin laxity that bothers you but doesn't justify a full tummy tuck. J-Plasma, often combined with liposuction, addresses this well in a shorter recovery.

J-Plasma Ottawa — Frequently Asked
Where can I get J-Plasma skin tightening in Ottawa?

Dr. Mehrad Jaberi, FRCSC, is the only surgeon in Ottawa performing this procedure. You can book a consultation by calling 613-591-1188 or using the online booking form.
How much does J-Plasma cost in Ottawa?
J-Plasma with Dr. Jaberi starts at $5,000. The final cost depends on how many areas are treated and whether it's combined with liposuction. A precise, personalized quote is provided at your consultation — no estimates over the phone without a proper assessment.
Is J-Plasma the same as Renuvion?
Yes. J-Plasma is the clinical name for the technology; Renuvion is the brand name used by Apyx Medical to market it. They refer to the same device and procedure. You may see both terms used interchangeably when searching.
Is J-Plasma better than Morpheus8?
They target different degrees of laxity and work through different mechanisms. Morpheus8 is a surface-applied RF microneedling device best for texture, mild tightening, and early laxity. J-Plasma is a surgical device placed beneath the skin, delivering 30–40% improvement in laxity — categorically stronger results for patients with more-than-mild skin looseness. For patients who want meaningful tightening short of surgery, J-Plasma is the more effective approach.
Do I need to travel outside Ottawa for J-Plasma?
No. Many Ottawa patients previously had to consider travelling to Toronto, Montreal, or the US to access J-Plasma. With Dr. Jaberi now offering it locally, you can have the procedure and your full recovery follow-up care without leaving Ottawa.
Can I have a virtual consultation before deciding?
Yes. Dr. Jaberi offers virtual consultations for patients who want to discuss their goals, review their anatomy on camera, and receive a preliminary recommendation before booking an in-person visit. Virtual consultations are available for Ottawa-area and out-of-town patients alike.
