The Aesthetic Center at Military Central Hospital 108, in collaboration with Viet Can Trading and Services Joint Stock Company, recently organized an international workshop titled "Principles and applications of J-plasma in facial skin tightening and biological tissue contraction" in Hanoi. The program featured a live demonstration surgery, professional presentations, and a technology transfer ceremony. The event brought together experts in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery.

A highlight of the program was the signing ceremony and certification for the transfer of the apyx one console device, which utilizes renuvion J-plasma technology. This took place between Associate Professor, Doctor Vu Ngoc Lam, Deputy Director of Military Central Hospital 108, and a representative of Viet Can Company, the official distributor of the apyx one console device in Vietnam.

According to the plan, Viet Can Company will fund expert instruction, travel, and accommodation, and organize the program. Hospital 108 will handle professional activities and arrange the demonstration surgery. This collaboration among the hospital, medical equipment provider, and international experts helps advance the technology transfer process, integrating professional training and clinical application.

A representative of Viet Can Company stated that adopting renuvion J-plasma technology reflects the Aesthetic Center's direction towards minimally invasive aesthetic solutions, integrating professional training, technical transfer, and clinical application.

At the workshop, experts explained that j-plasma technology is highly valued for its ability to precisely target subcutaneous tissue. It facilitates tissue contraction, reduces invasiveness, and shortens recovery time. The technology also has a wide range of applications in various aesthetic procedures, such as: facial and neck skin tightening or assisting tissue contraction after liposuction.

This also provided the basis for the Aesthetic Center at Military Central Hospital 108 to organize an in-depth program, combining professional presentations with live demonstration surgeries. This activity aims to update techniques, exchange experiences in applying renuvion J-plasma technology in clinical practice, and promote systematic technical transfer.

The apyx one console, the core device in the transfer program, was developed by Apyx Medical (US) and utilizes renuvion J-plasma. This technology combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with ionized helium gas to create cold plasma. It helps heat subcutaneous tissue quickly to stimulate collagen contraction, while rapidly cooling the treated area to limit impact on surrounding tissues.

The apyx one console, utilizing renuvion J-plasma technology, is approved for use in subcutaneous aesthetic procedures to help improve sagging skin in the neck and submental areas. Additionally, this device is one of the few to receive expanded FDA clearance for soft tissue contraction after liposuction, marking a significant advancement among energy-based aesthetic devices.

In addition to the signing ceremony and presentations on the new technology, the program also included a live demonstration surgery. This activity allowed doctors to observe the technology's application in practice, and to exchange professional knowledge and update new advancements in plastic and aesthetic surgery.
