Opus Plasma

Opus Plasma Albuquerque

You might have heard of microneedling, a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that triggers collagen development. Opus Plasma® adds radiofrequency (RF) energy and plasma to maximize your benefits and make your skin smoother and firmer than similar treatments with just minimal social downtime. 

What is Opus Plasma® Skin Rejuvenation?

Opus Plasma® is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and RF energy to deliver energy to deep layers of the dermis, resulting in more collagen formation and more dramatic results. It can treat skin issues such as wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. This highly customizable treatment can be adjusted to provide the right level of intensity for your needs.

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.

As we age, our skin produces less vital proteins that give it support and flexibility. Sagging skin develops when the skin loses its elasticity and structure. As a result, it cannot rebound to its youthful position after stretching. At Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute, we offer non-surgical skin tightening to undo the effects of aging. 

What Causes Sagging Skin?

Sagging skin is caused by various factors, including aging, weight loss, and genetics. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give our skin its elasticity, decreases. This can lead to loose, saggy skin. Rapid weight loss can also cause sagging skin because the skin loses its elasticity and is unable to shrink back to its original shape. Sun damage and smoking can also contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to sagging skin.

Although there are many treatment options available to help you achieve smoother, brighter skin, Opus™ Plasma is a revolutionary non-laser skin resurfacing treatment that offers the visible effects of a CO2 laser facial without the extreme amount of downtime. Its plasma energy erases imperfections while tightening the skin for improved texture and tone. Almost anyone can enjoy the skin-resurfacing benefits of this treatment method. 

What is Opus™ Plasma for Skin Rejuvenation?

Opus™ Plasma is a form of skin rejuvenation that works without lasers or light energy. Instead, it generates plasma energy to create areas of micro-damage on the skin’s surface. This damage to the outer layers of your skin triggers a renewal process that brings healthy new skin cells to the surface. Superficial skin issues from sun damage to fine lines disappear as damaged outer layers peel away.

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.

Let’s talk turkey — not the bird, but rather the loose skin on your neck that resembles a turkey’s wattle, those wrinkled folds of skin that hang under its beak. “Turkey neck” comes with aging, weight fluctuations and sun exposure, three things that are hard to avoid over the years.
