  • To that point, Opus Plasma skin resurfacing is a good choice—not only for those looking to smooth textural issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars but also for those who want to address other skin concerns, such as laxity and sagging, as well as an uneven skin tone. It’s an especially good choice for addressing loss of elasticity on the neck. Another benefit, is The Opus Plasma can be used much closer to the eye than lasers, making it ideal for addressing fine lines and crows-feet.

    While results obviously vary based on the individual, the Opus Plasma is generally recommended for those in their 40s to late 60s. Opus Plasma can be used on all skin types, from Fitzpatrick I-VI

  • While it depends on how intense a treatment you receive, this device does have the ability to turn back the clock. While three treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, are recommended for optimal results, many of our patients are noticing improvements in texture and tone after just one treatment. The skin tightening effects, in particular, will take some time—about three months, since they’re dependent on collagen remodeling. As is the case with laser skin resurfacing treatments, a maintenance treatment after the initial series, can help maintain the results.
