How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Opus® Plasma is considered a fractional laser because it causes microdamage to only a fraction of the skin. The surrounding skin responds with a flood of growth and healing factors. The radiofrequency energy heats deep layers of skin to trigger intensive collagen production. At the same time, the healing process brings healthy new cells to the surface, minimizing wrinkles and reversing damage caused by the sun and natural aging process, leaving skin smoother and more even. Providers love this technology, as the microplasma allows them to customize the depth and power of each treatment depending on each patient’s unique needs.
How Often Should I Get Laser Skin Resurfacing?
While you may see smoother skin after one treatment, most people require a series of three to see their best results. The increased collagen production will continue for several months after your last treatment. Results usually last up to a year. We recommend maintenance treatments once or twice a year to keep your skin firm and radiant.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing Like?
Laser skin resurfacing is highly customizable and can provide a light exfoliation or an intense one. Opus® Plasma treatments take fifteen to twenty minutes, less than almost any other laser treatment. We apply numbing cream before the treatment, so most people find their session very tolerable. Since treatment lasts fifteen minutes instead of up to an hour with other lasers, any slight discomfort you feel lasts a very short time.
