Opus Plasma Skin Tightening Consultation

Opus Plasma is popular for everything from skin tightening to acne scar treatments, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Lax skin
• Crow's feet
• Pigmentation and dark spots
• Dull skin
• Scars from trauma or surgery
• Acne scars
• Stretch marks
• Large pores
• Uneven texture

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 darker skin tones. 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.

Before the treatment, your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to make you as comfortable as possible and allow it to take effect for 20 to 30 minutes before starting your session. With this numbing, most people find they only feel mild pressure and some warmth during the treatment. It can feel slightly uncomfortable, but it is definitely tolerable.

Treatments are also quick, taking only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area.

You can expect some redness and swelling for 2 to 3 days appearing as a "sunburnt look", after which time most people can return to their normal activities and cover any residual redness with mineral makeup, Your skin will be especially sensitive to UV rays, so you will need to avoid direct sun exposure and make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the next 2 weeks. Our aestheticians will discuss your aftercare at your initial consultation!

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 to 4 treatments spaced a month apart to see your best results.
