Opus Plasma uses cutting edge technology that combines radiofrequency and plasma energy for skin rejuvenation, tightening, and resurfacing. Radiofrequency energy heats the dermal layer of the skin and stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin, creating a tightening effect. Plasma energy precisely controls the energy-to-tissue contact time to safely and effectively resurface the skin. By using a combination of radiofrequency and plasma energy, the body’s natural healing process is stimulated, and as a result, skin rejuvenation occurs.

Plan for approximately 90 minutes for your Opus Plasma treatment. The treated area is numbed with a topical cream prior to the treatment. During the treatment, the radiofrequency portion feels like a deep heat sensation and the plasma energy portion feels like a buzzing sensation. Following the treatment, post care products are applied, as well as provided to you to take home for use during recovery. Detailed written post treatment instructions are provided after your treatment.
Expect mild to moderate redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, followed by a few days of dryness and flaking. Full healing time can vary slightly depending on the settings used, quality of skin health prior to treatment, and adherence to post care instructions.
Most people see improvement in their skin health from the resurfacing aspect following the recovery period. It takes time for collagen to form, along with subsequent tightening, therefore, peak results are seen 3 to 6 months following treatment. Results are permanent, however, aging continues!
For most people, a series of 3 treatments, approximately 4 weeks apart, are recommended. Maintenance recommendations are typically 1 treatment every 6 months. There are no treatments that can stop the aging process, so it’s important to continue regular maintenance treatments for optimal and long lasting results.
