Opus Plasma Treatment
OPUS Plasma treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses plasma energy to tighten and lift skin. The process involves the application of plasma energy to the skin, which creates small dots or micro-coagulation points that stimulate the skin to produce new collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin its elasticity and firmness. This process leads to skin tightening, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.
OPUS Plasma treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed on the face, neck, and hands, and can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. The treatment is safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for people who want to refresh their appearance without undergoing a more invasive procedure.
What is Opus Plasma?
An innovative, first-of-its-kind radiofrequency skin resurfacing technology using PLASMA to improve skin tone, texture, wrinkles & fine lines, scars, acne scars, & stretch marks.
How does it work?
Opus Plasma removes a small fraction of the skin, which stimulates the surrounding skin to repair itself.
Who is a good candidate?
Across the country we have seen anyone from their early 20s all the way to their 90s get the Opus treatment. By customizing the settings we can treat those looking for a simple “glow up” all the way to someone looking for very aggressive resurfacing. We can even focus in on typical trouble areas such as the neck, around the mouth and eyes.
How many treatments are required?
During your consultation your provider will assess your skin to personalize a treatment plan for you. Best results are typically seen after 3 treatments, although noticeable improvements may be seen after 1 treatment.
How long does each treatment take?
This will vary based on your personalized treatment plan recommended by your provider. For a full face resurfacing procedure we typically schedule an hour – this allows time for the application of topical anesthetic with the actual treatment taking about 15 minutes.
Does it hurt?
All resurfacing treatments come with some level of discomfort. Many patients report feeling hot in the treatment area. Topical anethetic may be used to numb the treatment area prior to the Opus treatment.
What is the downtime?
This will vary depending on treatment plan recommended by your provider. You may experience 24-48 hours of mild to moderate redness and swelling. Makeup may be worn after 24 hours.
