Do you have a question?
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
The Opus™ Plasma applicator has small tips that energize the air around them, producing a form of energy called plasma. This plasma transfers from the tips to your skin, creating areas of micro-damage. The contact with the skin happens so briefly that the surrounding skin remains unaffected. These undamaged cells respond with a healing process that rejuvenates the skin’s surface. They also produce more collagen, a critical protein lost in aging.
What Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?
Opus™ Plasma is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment. Your provider can customize the intensity of the treatment for your needs. We use laser skin resurfacing to treat skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Minor skin laxity
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dullness or dryness
Since we can adjust the depth of your Opus™ Plasma treatment, we can customize your level of downtime, how many treatments you will need, and which skin concerns we target. For example, a lighter treatment can brighten and smooth the skin, while a more intensive one can address lines and acne scars.
Is There Any Downtime After Laser Skin Resurfacing?
The amount of downtime after Opus™ Plasma laser skin resurfacing depends on the intensity of the treatment. Most people will experience some redness and swelling lasting a few days. You may also notice some dryness or peeling as the treated outer layers flake away to reveal healthy new skin.
