Opus Plasma represents the next generation of fractional skin resurfacing treatments for both women and men across most skin types. Whether you're looking to minimize wrinkles or reverse damage caused by the sun and the natural aging process, Opus Plasma offers a versatile solution tailored to your specific skin condition and aesthetic goals.
Our innovative platform combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with plasma generated when the RF energy emitted from the tips of metal pins interacts with atmospheric pressure. This unique combination allows Opus Plasma to remove only a fraction of the skin in the targeted area, creating thousands of tiny micro-injuries while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged. This controlled approach triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin—the essential building blocks for smooth, youthful-looking skin.
Unlike traditional laser-based skin resurfacing technologies, such as the CO₂ laser, Opus Plasma precisely controls the duration that radiofrequency energy contacts the skin. This meticulous control minimizes unwanted inflammation, resulting in shorter recovery times and enhanced comfort during the treatment process.
The CO₂ laser is an ablative laser treatment widely used for skin resurfacing. It works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that removes the outer layers of damaged skin, effectively reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. While highly effective, CO₂ laser treatments typically involve longer recovery periods and greater downtime compared to non-ablative treatments like Opus Plasma. Opus Plasma offers similar results with reduced discomfort and faster healing.
Skin rejuvenation encompasses a variety of treatments aimed at restoring the skin’s youthful appearance by addressing signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture, and discoloration. Techniques like Opus Plasma stimulate the body's natural collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin. This non-invasive approach enhances overall skin health and appearance without the need for extensive downtime.
One of the notable benefits of Opus Plasma treatment is the reduction of pore size. Enlarged pores can make the skin appear rough and aged. Opus Plasma tightens pores by promoting collagen production around them, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture. This improvement not only enhances the skin’s appearance but also contributes to a more even complexion.
1. What happens during an Opus Plasma treatment?
During an Opus Plasma treatment, we begin by applying a topical anesthetic to the target area to minimize discomfort. The anesthetic remains on the skin for 30-60 minutes to ensure numbness. Once the skin is numb, we use the Opus Plasma handpiece to emit radiofrequency and plasma energy across the treatment area. After the procedure, a protective balm is applied. Patients may experience slight redness and swelling, which typically resolves within 48 hours. More aggressive treatment settings might extend the downtime. While some patients see noticeable results after a single session, a series of three treatments is recommended for optimal outcomes.
2. Is Opus Plasma suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Opus Plasma is highly versatile and can be adjusted to accommodate various skin types and conditions. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for individuals seeking personalized skin rejuvenation solutions.
3. How long is the recovery time after an Opus Plasma treatment?
Recovery time is generally minimal. Most patients experience redness and swelling that subsides within 48 hours. However, more intensive treatments may require a longer recovery period. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
4. How many treatments are needed to achieve desired results?
While some patients notice improvements after a single session, we typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the best and most lasting results.
5. Are there any side effects associated with Opus Plasma?
Opus Plasma is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Common temporary side effects include redness, swelling, and slight discomfort in the treated area. These effects usually resolve on their own within a few days. Our expert team ensures that treatments are tailored to minimize any potential risks.
6. How does Opus Plasma compare to traditional laser treatments?
Unlike traditional laser treatments like the CO₂ laser, Opus Plasma offers precise control over the energy delivered to the skin. This results in reduced inflammation, shorter recovery times, and increased comfort during and after the procedure. Additionally, Opus Plasma can be customized to achieve results similar to both aggressive and gentle laser treatments, depending on your specific needs.
7. What areas of the body can be treated with Opus Plasma?
Opus Plasma is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and other regions where skin rejuvenation is desired. Our specialists will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
