What Is Opus Plasma® Used For?

Your facial skin is exposed to environmental factors, internal aging, and many other factors that can leave it looking dull or uneven. Opus Plasma® uses a unique technology to smooth, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin. This treatment makes an excellent option for those seeking to address a range of skin concerns. 

What is Opus Plasma® for Facial Rejuvenation?

Opus Plasma® is an energy-based skin fractional skin treatment. Using plasma energy instead of laser energy, this revolutionary treatment creates tiny areas of micro-damage to the skin. This plasma energy triggers your skin cells to produce new collagen, the protein that gives skin its strength and firmness. Opus Plasma® provides precise control over the depth and intensity of treatment for a customized treatment experience. 

Laser Skin Resurfacing Albuquerque & Santa Fe

*Individual results may vary.

What is Opus Plasma® Used For?

Because Opus Plasma® acts on the surface and deeper layers of the skin, it can address a wide range of skin concerns. People often have Opus Plasma® treatment to target:

  • Dullness
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Acne scarring
  • Skin laxity
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

 

Opus Plasma® provides facial rejuvenation that leaves skin bright and smooth. It brings healthy, bright skin cells to the surface to replace older, damaged ones. 

How Does Opus Plasma® Work?

Most energy-based treatments use laser energy to work. Opus Plasma® uses tiny tips that energize the air around them to form plasma. This plasma transfers from the tips to the skin, creating small areas of damage to the skin’s surface layers. Opus Plasma® can achieve laser-like results without penetrating as deeply, resulting in less downtime. The contact with the plasma happens so quickly that the surrounding skin remains unaffected. These uninjured skin cells will help the treated areas heal more rapidly.

Is There Any Downtime With Opus Plasma® Skin Rejuvenation?

Your recovery after Opus Plasma® depends on the intensity of your treatment. Most people notice redness and swelling that resembles sunburn and lasts a few days. If you have a more intensive treatment, you may notice minor flaking or peeling and a few more days of redness.

What Results Will I See With Opus Plasma®?

Some patients will notice some visible results after their first session, but most will require a series of two or three sessions for similar results you would see from a more intensive CO2 laser treatment. You may notice results within a few days of your first treatment. Full facial rejuvenation can take several months to develop as your skin produces new collagen. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Opus Plasma®?

Opus Plasma® is safe for most skin types and tones. Good candidates are looking for skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Because Opus Plasma® is customizable, it can address a wide range of skin issues. You should not have Opus Plasma® on irritated or injured skin.
