OPUS SKIN RESURFACING
As you get older, the quality of your skin diminishes gradually. As early as in your 30s, the production of collagen declines. Collagen is the structural protein that maintains the elasticity and firmness of your skin. UV rays from the sun further takes a toll on the skin, affecting both its texture and tone. The quality of your skin is also affected by gravity which tugs and pulls thereby causing your skin to sag.
As a result, aging is unavoidable. However, it is possible to slow down aging using skin rejuvenation treatment. These treatments relieve the skin of the above cosmetic concerns thus giving you a more youthful look. The best treatment for this is the Opus Plasma skin resurfacing.

OPUS SKIN RESURFACING FAQS
Developed by Alma, Opus Plasma is an FDA approved treatment for skin rejuvenation. Alma is the developer of groundbreaking aesthetics technology. During the treatment, a device with metal pins that emit radiofrequency energy is used on the affected skin. The radiofrequency energy causes a plasma to form. The plasma heats the skin, thus causing micro-injuries. The micro-injuries trigger the healing response of the body. In doing so, the production of elastin and collagen is increased. This micro-ablative treatment involves controlled skin damage which means it is safe and precise. The risk of inflammation is reduced.
Opus Plasma has numerous amazing benefits when compared to other skin rejuvenation treatments. The exceptional benefits include: visible results, less downtime when compared to CO2, remarkable results when used under the eye area, and precise treatment. Opus Plasma also addresses several cosmetic concerns including: skin laxity, wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
The treatment is quite versatile. It can be used to treat cosmetic concerns in both men and women. The treatment is also ideal for all skin types and tones. The Opus Plasma treatment can be used on various parts of the body including the hands, elbows, scars, knees as well as stretch marks. The treatment starts with a consultation which is meant to understand your skin quality and cosmetic concerns. Your medical history and cosmetic objectives will be discussed before the treatment. This is done to achieve the best results.
The treatment usually starts with the application of a topical anesthetic to the target area. This helps reduce discomfort. Once the skin is ready, the radiofrequency device is used in a stamping motion on deep wrinkles and on the areas of laxity. A second plasma device is used to follow the radiofrequency treatment. A small roller is used steadily on the affected areas to achieve consistency. The energy of the device is adjusted to an ideal setting based on your skin type and tone. Once the treatment is done, you will have a red to flush patch which looks like a small sunburn. Most patients experience mild to moderate swelling.
The recovery period depends on an individual patient. On average, you can expect the mild redness and swelling to disappear within 1 to 2 days. Once the swelling disappears, the skin might have a leathery feel that may last 3 to 5 days. A full recovery is achieved after 5 to 7 days.
After a full recovery, your skin complexion will be more vibrant and taut. You will thus have a more youthful look. It is, however, good to note that it may take up to 3 months for you to realize the final results. Moreover, since the Opus Plasma treatment works by stimulating the production of collagen, the results may continue improving as the production of collagen continues. While a single Opus Plasma session will create amazing results, it is highly recommended to undergo at least three sessions that are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Doing so will lead to more significant improvements.
