How does an Opus Plasma treatment work? Opus Plasma is a modern and highly customizable service that rivals the effectiveness of older, and harsher C02 laser resurfacing options that required more downtime. Opus Plasma works to resurface and tighten your skin and can be tailored to provide a spectrum of outcomes – from minimally invasive to more aggressive. Do you remember when you thought you’d never need to use science again after high school? Well, shhh…we won’t tell your science teacher that they were right!!! Let’s get after the science of the cutting-edge technology of Opus Plasma! Opus Plasma treatments use fractional plasma energy by transmitting both radiofrequency (RF) and microplasma vibrations deep into the dermal layers of the skin. There are metal pins in the Opus Plasma device that, when active, become charged with radiofrequency energy. The radiofrequency setting on an Opus Plasma treatment is what sets Opus apart from other services. This radiofrequency energy interacts with atmospheric pressure near the skin to create the plasma that superficially “injures” the skin. This injury works to clear up the surface of the skin, while the radiofrequency penetrates down to the dermal layers without breaking the surface of the skin. These deeper columns of “injury” trigger the body to produce more collagen to create an overall smoother, tighter, and more youthful complexion, and skin tone.
