Is Opus Plasma a good choice for skin texture?

Thank you for your question. Yes, Opus Plasma could be a good option for you based on what you described as your primary facial skin concern. Opus fractionated plasma resurfacing is not a laser, as you probably know by know. It is a relatively new and innovative technology that uses electrical energy in a very focused way to create a spark that ignites the oxygen and nitrogen molecules at your skin surface (using a specialized roller). The resulting energy layer that forms at your skin surface is plasma, and when applied in a fractionated form (*new technology), can produce improvement in tone, texture, tightness of skin, improvement of scars, and even improvement in superficial reds and rosacea in some patients. The procedure lightens pigmentation from sun damage, as well. Think of this as a lower downtime procedure than laser resurfacing, but requires more treatments to achieve your goals. We have Opus at our practice, and have generally recommended this as a package of 2-3 treatments to achieve optimal outcomes, even though results and improvement can be seen with even 1-2 treatments. Seek a consultation with a board-certified specialist as you go forward.

Hello! That's so great that you are investing in skin maintenance even at a younger age. Sun damage can be reversed and corrected through treatments like the Opus Plasma. The Opus will help minimize fine lines, tighten skin, and will even out your skin tone.

If you have deep damage (which can be seen on a camera like the Visia), then you might consider a fractional CO2 laser.

The Opus is a great place to start, and the aesthetician or physician can customize the treatment to get you the results that will be best for you!

Opus Plasma can be adjusted to a light, moderate or aggressive setting, making it a versatile resurfacing option.
