How Does Opus Plasma Work?
Did you know that after turning 20, we lose about 1% of our collagen production each year? This gradual loss can lead to wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and other visible signs of aging. Opus Plasma revitalizes collagen production, effectively reversing this loss and rejuvenating your skin from within. Using a method known as fractionated plasma energy, Opus Plasma achieves results similar to deep resurfacing treatments but with minimal downtime. As your provider positions the device above your skin, the unipolar RF energy emitted from its metal pins interacts with the air to generate plasma. This plasma creates tiny channels (or "microinjuries") in your skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Due to its fractional nature, Opus Plasma treats only a portion of the skin at a time, allowing the surrounding areas to heal quickly. The outcome is smoother, more elastic, and youthful-looking skin, without the lengthy recovery associated with other resurfacing methods.
What Does Opus Plasma Treat?
Opus Plasma is versatile and effective for a variety of skin concerns, including: - Fine lines and wrinkles - Lax skin - Crow's feet - Hyperpigmentation and dark spots - Dull skin tone - Acne scars - Scars from injuries or surgeries - Stretch marks - Enlarged pores - Uneven skin texture The treatment can be customized to effectively address concerns on the face, neck, chest, and body.
How Is Opus Plasma Different From Other Skin Resurfacing Treatments?
What sets Opus Plasma apart is its unique combination of plasma and RF energy. RF energy penetrates deeper into the skin, warming the underlying dermal layers to boost collagen production and tighten the skin. Meanwhile, the plasma addresses more superficial layers, reducing damage and minimizing downtime. This dual approach makes Opus Plasma suitable for both sensitive areas (like the eyelids) and larger treatment areas (such as stretch marks on the abdomen).
Is Opus Plasma Safe for All Skin Types?
Absolutely! Opus Plasma is safe for all skin types, including darker tones. Many other resurfacing treatments may pose a risk of hypo- or hyperpigmentation in individuals with deeper skin tones, but Opus Plasma is effective for Fitzpatrick skin types I through V.
Are Opus Plasma Treatments Painful?
Most patients find Opus Plasma treatments to be comfortable due to the topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. After allowing the numbing cream to take effect for 20 to 30 minutes, you'll likely only experience mild warmth during the session. Each treatment typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What Is Opus Plasma Recovery Like?
Post-treatment, expect some redness and swelling for 2 to 3 days. After this, most individuals can resume their daily activities and use makeup to cover any lingering redness. It's essential to protect your sensitive skin from UV rays, so avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for at least two weeks after your treatment.
How Many Opus Plasma Treatments Will I Need?
While many clients begin to notice improvements after their initial treatment, around three sessions spaced a month apart are often recommended to achieve optimal results.
