Opus Plasma

Looking for a treatment that turns back the clock and doesn’t cost you major time away from your routine? Meet Opus Plasma skin resurfacing. This innovative resurfacing treatment combines two powerful modalities—plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy—to heal the skin both on the surface and deeper within.

If you’re curious about how the treatment works and what to expect, you’ve come to the right place.

How Does Opus Plasma Work?

Did you know we lose 1% of our collagen production every year after we turn 20? It’s one of the biggest reasons we develop wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and other signs of aging. Opus Plasma reinvigorates our natural collagen production to reverse this loss and rejuvenate our skin from the inside out. Opus Plasma uses fractionated plasma energy to deliver effects similar to a deep resurfacing treatment without the downtime. As your provider holds the device above your skin, the unipolar RF energy emitted from its metal pins reacts with the air and generates plasma. This plasma creates tiny channels (or “microinjuries”) in your skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin production.

  • What sets Opus Plasma apart from other skin resurfacing and plasma fibroblasting treatments is the combination of plasma and RF energy.

    RF reaches deeper into the skin, heating the underlying layers of the dermis to boost collagen production and tighten skin. At the same time, the plasma treats more superficial layers of the skin, minimizing damage and the resulting downtime.  

    This combination also makes Opus Plasma highly versatile and effective for both delicate areas (such as the eyelids) and larger concerns (such as stretch marks on the abdomen).

  • Yes, it is safe for all skin types, even dark skin. Some skin resurfacing treatments carry a risk of hypo or hyperpigmentation for deeper skin tones, but Opus Plasma has been cleared for Fitzpatrick types I through V.

  • Treatments aren’t typically painful with proper numbing. Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream and allow it to take effect for 20 to 30 minutes before starting your session. With this numbing, most people find they only feel some warmth during the treatment. Treatments are also quick, taking only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area

  • Many people start to see improvements in their skin after their first treatment, especially as collagen production continues over the following weeks. However, you will most likely need about 3 treatments spaced a month apart to see your best results.
