Is Opus Plasma Painful?

Most patients tolerate Opus Plasma treatments very well. Before the procedure begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel a warm or prickling sensation as the device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. After the treatment, the skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, which is completely normal and will subside within a day or two.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

While some patients notice improvement after a single session, most individuals achieve their ideal results with a series of two to three treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions recommended will depend on the severity of the skin concerns being treated and your desired results. During your consultation, our team will develop a treatment plan that outlines the ideal number of sessions for your skin.

How Long Until I See Results?

Some patients notice improvements in skin tone and texture within a few days after treatment as the skin begins to heal, but the most noticeable improvements occur gradually over the following weeks as the body produces new collagen. Full results become more visible four to eight weeks after treatment, with continued improvements as collagen remodeling occurs beneath the skin.

Can I Combine Opus Plasma with Other Procedures?

Yes, Opus Plasma can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance overall results. Many patients choose to pair Opus Plasma with treatments such as microneedling and injectables like dermal fillers to further enhance skin rejuvenation. Part of the consultation entails evaluating your goals and recommending a personalized treatment plan that safely combines procedures when appropriate.

What Are the Risks Associated with Opus Plasma?

Opus Plasma is considered a safe and minimally invasive treatment when performed by a qualified provider. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, some temporary side effects may occur. These can include redness, mild swelling, sensitivity, or slight dryness in the treated area. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary pigmentation changes or prolonged irritation. Following the aftercare instructions provided by our team helps minimize risks and ensures optimal healing.

What is Opus Plasma?

Opus Plasma is an innovative radiofrequency skin-resurfacing technology that improves skin tone, minimizes wrinkles and fine lines, and reverses sun damage. Opus Plasma treatments are versatile and can be adjusted to be gentle or aggressive, depending on each patient’s needs and aesthetic goals.

Opus Plasma combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with plasma generated when the RF energy emitted from the device’s metal pin tips interacts with atmospheric air.
