Does Opus Plasma work on dark skin types?

Hi, and thanks for your question. Yes, the Opus is great for all skin types. With a Fitz V it would be a good idea to pretreat for a week or so with a prep pad--we use a kojic acid brightening pad to lower the chances of PIH. However, because the Opus delivers less retained heat than a fractional CO2, it tends to be a safer choice for the higher fitzpatrick skin colors.

I hope you find this helpful. Please reach out if you have additional questions.

plasma pen can be used in some instances with darker skin types but NEEDS to be treated with lightening peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten, aerify, cosmelan and post treated with lightening creams such as reve skin HQ, sente biointensive cream, emerageskin aox c and refit face, and anteage md serum and accelerator. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, Opus Plasma is FDA cleared and safe for ALL Fitzpatrick skin types, including Fitzpatrick V. It is a very effective treatment for skin resurfacing and has been successful in reducing the appearance of acne scarring, large pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. I recommend consulting with a physician in your area who offers this treatment to see if it is right for you!
