How Opus™ Plasma Uses Radiofrequency to Improve the Skin

September 13, 2022

Opus™ Plasma uses radiofrequency and plasma energy to transform your skin. This highly customizable treatment produces results similar to laser skin rejuvenation without the recovery time.

What is Opus™ Plasma?

Opus™ Plasma provides intensive but gentle skin resurfacing to address a wide range of skin concerns. Unlike laser treatments, Opus™ Plasma uses plasma energy to create areas of micro-damage on the surface of the skin. This results in the appearance of new, vibrant skin cells. It also triggers collagen development to improve skin firmness and resilience.

How Often Should I Get Laser Skin Resurfacing?

August 15, 2022

You could improve signs of aging, sun damage, and more with a procedure that fits into your lunch break. Opus® Plasma uses laser and radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate your skin and reverse signs of aging and sun damage. This technology improves the skin’s collagen production to give you long-lasting improvements in skin firmness, texture, and tone.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing uses a laser to trigger the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. At Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute, we use the Opus® Plasma laser, which represents the next generation of fractional skin resurfacing treatments for most skin types. Opus® Plasma uses radiofrequency energy to create the plasma, and this plasma then causes tiny areas of micro-damage to the skin that triggers collagen production through a wound-healing response.

Unwanted hair removal takes time we all wish we could spend on something else. Traditional methods remove hair for days or weeks. With laser hair removal, you can have hair-free skin for years. Unlike other methods, laser hair removal stops hairs from growing for long-lasting results.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a way to stop hair from regrowing on almost any part of your body. This treatment acts on the hair follicles, the structures in the skin that grow and nourish hairs. By deactivating these follicles, laser hair removal gives you smooth skin with no shaving or waxing required.

Top 3 Benefits of Spider Vein Treatment

July 15, 2022

Up to 50% of people have spider veins. These tiny damaged veins often spread like a spiderweb or tree roots, and when they occur in visible areas, they can become unwelcome. Dr. Robert Cutchen offers treatments to decrease or eliminate the appearance of spider veins. He can also diagnose and treat any underlying venous conditions.

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins form when blood pools in small veins close to the skin’s surface. This pooled blood can cause the affected veins to look red, blue, or purple. Most spider veins are harmless, but clusters of spider veins around the ankles can indicate a possible problem with venous circulation. Spider veins typically occur on the face and legs but can also appear in other areas such as the chest.

What Treatments are Available for Spider Veins?

June 22, 2022

Spider veins can appear on your legs, face, or other parts of your body, leaving many feeling self-conscious with the “webbed” appearance to their affected areas of skin. Spider vein treatments target these tiny vessels and damage them so your body can naturally eliminate them. You can achieve spider vein clearance on the skin on your face, legs, or anywhere else spider veins occur with the help of a vein specialist, such as Dr. Robert Cutchen.

What are Spider Veins?

Usually cosmetic in nature, spider veins appear as red, blue, or purple threads just under the skin. They form when the pressure inside the smallest veins in the body causes them to stretch and thin. Spider veins are usually less than 1 mm in diameter and have a branched or web-like appearance. They often form in clusters, and clusters around the ankles can suggest a deeper venous problem, so it’s important to consult with a vein specialist over a dermatologist or med spa that offers sclerotherapy or laser treatments for spider veins.

How Long Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Last?

June 12, 2022

Laser Skin Resurfacing is a powerful tool in our ability to solve visible skin problems, including signs of aging, sun damage, and skin laxity. At Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute, we offer the Opus™ Plasma treatment to give you all the benefits of laser skin resurfacing with just minimal downtime. Opus™ Plasma is unique in that it uses two forms of energy to promote skin regeneration that may last for a year or more.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Typical laser skin resurfacing uses light energy to create areas of controlled micro-damage to the skin. A laser that treats small areas and leaves the surrounding skin untouched is called a fractional laser. These cause significantly less skin trauma than a laser that treats the entire surface. Opus™ Plasma goes a step beyond light energy and uses a combination of radiofrequency and plasma energy to stimulate collagen production while speeding up cell turnover, shedding damaged cells and bringing healthy new ones to the surface.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?

May 20, 2022

Have you noticed volume loss from your lips and cheeks as you age? Have lines and wrinkles started to become more noticeable? Dermal fillers offer a fast, safe, and effective way to enhance your facial features. We offer the Restylane® family of dermal fillers to provide you with a range of options.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Restylane® dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid. This large molecule is found naturally in the skin and is essential in attracting and maintaining hydration. Each Restylane® formula uses a different arrangement of hyaluronic acid to change its properties. As a result, the family has a filler appropriate for almost any part of the face.

May 7, 2022

Some areas of body fat stubbornly remain no matter how hard you diet and exercise. While a healthy lifestyle will often result in weight loss or a healthy weight, stubborn areas of bothersome fat often will not budge.
