Argo Plasma skin tightening at Centre for Surgery starts from £2,500 for a standalone small area (such as the knees or male chest) and from £3,500 for a standalone large area (such as the abdomen or thighs). Most patients have Argo Plasma combined with liposuction in the same session — in which case it’s priced as the liposuction cost plus £2,000 per area of Argo Plasma.
Argo Plasma is a minimally invasive procedure that uses argon plasma energy combined with radiofrequency, delivered through a small probe beneath the skin, to contract and firm loose skin without the long scars of a surgical lift. It’s the closest UK equivalent to Renuvion (also marketed as J-Plasma). This 2026 guide breaks down the standalone prices, the combined-with-liposuction pricing model, how it compares on cost to BodyTite, what’s included, and how to spread the payments.
How much does Argo Plasma cost in London?
Argo Plasma pricing depends on the number and size of areas treated, and whether it’s done on its own or — as is most common — alongside liposuction. The table below gives starting prices; your written quote is confirmed after a face-to-face consultation.
| Argo Plasma treatment | Indicative cost (London) |
|---|---|
| Standalone — one small area (knees, male chest) | from £2,500 |
| Standalone — one large area (abdomen, thighs) | from £3,500 |
| Combined with liposuction | liposuction cost + £2,000 per area |
A standalone treatment on a limited area can often be done under local anaesthetic; when Argo Plasma is combined with liposuction it’s performed under TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia). It’s a day-case procedure — admitted and discharged the same day.
What’s included in the price — and what’s extra
The quoted Argo Plasma price at Centre for Surgery is a single, transparent package covering:
- As many pre-operative consultations with your surgeon as you need
- Pre-operative medical assessment
- The surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist (for TIVA cases), and theatre time at our CQC-regulated Baker Street facility
- The Argo Plasma procedure (and the liposuction, where combined)
- Same-day discharge and your surgeon’s direct number for the first 24 hours
- Wound check at 7–10 days, surgeon review at 6 weeks, and a 3-month assessment
- A dedicated patient coordinator throughout
Your compression garment and any prescribed medications are purchased separately and confirmed in advance. The £100 consultation fee is redeemable against the procedure if you proceed.
What affects the cost of Argo Plasma?
Four factors move the price:
- Area size: a standalone small area (knees, male chest) starts from £2,500; a standalone large area (abdomen, thighs) from £3,500.
- Number of areas: each area treated adds to the total — the more areas, the higher the price.
- Standalone or combined with liposuction: most patients combine the two, in which case Argo Plasma is added at £2,000 per area on top of the liposuction cost.
- Anaesthetic: a standalone limited area can often be done under local anaesthetic; combined procedures use TIVA, which adds the consultant anaesthetist.
How a combined liposuction + Argo Plasma quote adds up
Argo Plasma is most often added to liposuction, because liposuction removes fat but doesn’t tighten skin — and Argo Plasma does. When the two are combined, the cost is the standard liposuction cost for the area, plus £2,000 per area of Argo Plasma. For example, abdominal liposuction (from £3,900) with Argo Plasma of the abdomen starts from £5,500. Treating several areas — for instance a 360-degree liposuction with Argo Plasma — builds up from there, into the region of £8,000+ depending on the areas involved.
Doing both in one session is more cost-effective than staging them, because the theatre, anaesthetist and facility are used once rather than twice, and you go through a single recovery. Your surgeon confirms the combination and the single combined price at consultation.
Argo Plasma vs BodyTite — what each costs and does
Both tighten loose skin with energy under the skin, but they work differently, which affects how each is priced:
- Argo Plasma only tightens skin — it doesn’t remove fat. So where there’s also fat to remove, it’s paired with a separate liposuction step (liposuction cost + £2,000 per area).
- BodyTite removes fat and tightens skin through one device, so for the right patient it can be a single combined cost. See the BodyTite cost guide for its pricing.
Which is more cost-effective depends on your anatomy — the degree of laxity and the volume of fat to remove. Your surgeon will advise which suits you at consultation.
Is Argo Plasma the same as Renuvion?
Argo Plasma and Renuvion (also marketed as J-Plasma) use the same principle — a subdermal probe combining plasma energy with radiofrequency to contract tissue from beneath the skin. The difference is the plasma gas: Renuvion uses helium, Argo Plasma uses argon. Both produce comparable skin-tightening results in suitable patients. Renuvion isn’t currently offered at Centre for Surgery — so if you’ve been researching “Renuvion cost London,” Argo Plasma is the equivalent procedure, priced as set out above.
Is Argo Plasma available on the NHS?
No. Argo Plasma is a cosmetic procedure and isn’t funded by the NHS or covered by private medical insurance. It’s self-funded, which is why finance is a popular option.
Can you pay for Argo Plasma on finance?
Yes. You can pay in full or spread the cost with finance through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Plans and a representative example are on our finance options page, and a patient coordinator can talk you through them on 020 7993 4849.

Argo Plasma cost FAQs
How much does Argo Plasma cost in the UK in 2026?
At Centre for Surgery in London, standalone Argo Plasma starts from £2,500 for a small area (knees, male chest) and from £3,500 for a large area (abdomen, thighs). When combined with liposuction, it’s the standard liposuction cost plus £2,000 per area of Argo Plasma.
Why is Argo Plasma cheaper as a standalone but added to liposuction so often?
Argo Plasma only tightens skin — it doesn’t remove fat. Most patients who have loose skin also have some fat to remove, so the two are combined: liposuction takes the fat, Argo Plasma tightens the skin over the same area in the same session. Pure standalone tightening (with no fat to address) is the lower-cost scenario.
How much is Argo Plasma combined with liposuction?
It’s the standard liposuction cost for the area plus £2,000 per area of Argo Plasma. For example, abdominal liposuction (from £3,900) with Argo Plasma of the abdomen starts from £5,500. Multiple areas build up from there.
What’s included in the price?
The package covers the surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist (for TIVA cases), theatre and facility fees, the Argo Plasma procedure (and liposuction where combined), your surgeon’s direct number for the first 24 hours, a wound check, a 6-week surgeon review and a 3-month assessment. Your compression garment and any prescribed medications are charged separately.
How much is Argo Plasma per month on finance?
You can pay in full or spread the cost with finance through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Plans and a representative example are on our finance options page, and a patient coordinator can talk you through them on 020 7993 4849.
Is Argo Plasma the same as Renuvion, and does it cost the same?
Argo Plasma uses the same subdermal plasma-plus-radiofrequency principle as Renuvion/J-Plasma — the difference is argon gas rather than helium. Renuvion isn’t offered at Centre for Surgery; Argo Plasma is the equivalent procedure, priced as set out in this guide.
Is Argo Plasma cheaper than a tummy tuck or arm lift?
Usually, yes — Argo Plasma is a lower price point than a surgical tummy tuck or arm lift, and avoids the long scar. But it only treats mild to moderate laxity; where there’s significant loose skin, an excisional lift is the effective option, so it’s about suitability as well as cost.
Is Argo Plasma available on the NHS?
No. Argo Plasma is a cosmetic procedure, self-funded privately, and not covered by the NHS or private medical insurance.
