Opus Plasma®: Revolutionizing Skin Resurfacing
How do skin resurfacing treatments at North Laurel Family Medicine work?
Opus Plasma® is an FDA-cleared, non-laser device that combines radiofrequency with plasma to stimulate the regeneration of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This treatment is designed to improve skin quality and texture, addressing issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, skin laxity, acne scars, and uneven texture. It can be customized to target specific areas of the face, neck, chest, or other body areas, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Opus Plasma® treatments at North Laurel Familiy Medicine in Laurel, MS can create noticeable improvements with virtually no side effects. After the treatment, most patients experience only temporary, mild to moderate redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, as well as tight, dry-feeling skin. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure a comfortable recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Downtime depends on individual tolerance. Expect about one week for recovery if you want faster results, although most people can look presentable with good makeup after 24 hours. If you can’t tolerate a week of downtime, more treatments will be needed at lower settings.
Opus Plasma® can address a wide range of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, enlarged pores, broken blood vessels, skin laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, and uneven texture. It is customizable and can be used on the face, neck, chest, or other areas of the body, with different settings available to match specific needs.
Opus Plasma® delivers very similar results to CO2 laser treatments but with far less downtime and lower risk. It uses Fractional Plasma technology, which ablates small channels while leaving much of the epidermis intact, allowing for a quicker recovery and reduced risk of infection.
After the Opus procedure, it’s important to keep your skin moist. We recommend medical-grade post-procedure products such as Environ’s Super Moisturizer and Antioxidant gel, or IS Clinical Sheald Recovery Balm. Additionally, staying well-hydrated and using SPF 40 or greater is essential for optimal recovery.
