WHAT IS OPUS PLASMA?

An innovative, firstofitskind radiofrequency skin resurfacing technology that improves the skin’s tone and texture with treatments that take 20 to 30 minutes and require minimal downtime.

Opus Plasma represents the next generation of fractional skin resurfacing treatments for women and men of all skin types who want to minimize wrinkles and reverse damage caused by the sun and the natural aging process. The procedure’s versatility enables us to adjust treatment intensity from light to aggressive, depending on the patient’s skin condition and goals.

The innovative platform combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with plasma created when the RF energy emitted from the tips of metal pins react to atmospheric pressure.

Like other laser skin resurfacing treatments, Opus Plasma removes a small fraction of the skin in the targeted area. Fractional skin resurfacing creates thousands of tiny microinjuries to the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged. The body’s natural healing response repairs these controlled wounds by producing new collagen and elastin, the building blocks of smooth, youthful looking skin. Unlike traditional laserbased skin resurfacing technologies, Opus Plasma precisely controls the time that radiofrequency energy makes contact with the skin. This minimizes unwanted inflammation that typically leads to longer recovery times.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OPUS TREATMENTS?

Because we can adjust the treatment’s intensity, virtually anyone with concerns about their skin’s appearance is a good candidate for an Opus Plasma procedure. It produces results similar to an aggressive CO2 laser or a gentle peel, depending on the setting used. The difference with Opus Plasma is that the treatment and recovery time is minimal compared to other ablative laser treatments.

The benefits of an Opus Plasma treatment include:

 

          • Reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose and saggy skin
          • Overall skin rejuvenation
          • Minimized acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks
          • Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN OPUS TREATMENT?

We begin by applying a topical anesthetic to the target area to minimize discomfort during the session. Once the skin is numb, the specialist glides the Opus Plasma handpiece across the skin. We can treat the entire face in 15 minutes. Patients usually notice some slight redness and swelling after the treatment, but it resolves on its own within 24 to 48 hours in most cases. More aggressive treatment settings can extend the downtime, but also enhance the results. Even though most patients see results after a single treatment, we recommend 2 to 3 treatment sessions for optimal results.

    FAQ

    What is a typical treatment like?

    For a typical treatment, we first apply a topical anesthetic. Once the anesthetic has taken effect, we remove it completely before proceeding with treatment. The treatment itself is typically only mildly uncomfortable and most patients tolerate the treatment well. On a scale from 1-10, most patients report a pain level of 2-3. Following treatment, you will experience some redness, which will typically fade within a few days.

    How many treatments will I need?

    Depending on the indication for treatment, we usually recommend 2-3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Settings can be increased with each session to enhance the results. Many patients are seeing significant results even after the 1st treatment.

    How long will my treatment take?

    Expect to spend approximately 90 minutes for a typical treatment. The topical anesthetic will need to stay on your skin for approximately 45 minutes prior to the resurfacing treatment.

    How long will my results last?

    Results will typically last for many years, although the aging process is inevitable and will slowly continue as it always does. Patients can extend the life of their results by protecting the skin from further sun damage by wearing hats and using sunscreen every day. A robust medical grade skincare regimen is also great for maintaining results.
