Opus Plasma is a revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment that combines the precision of plasma technology with the deep stimulation of radio frequency (RF) energy. This dual-action approach provides effective skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Here’s a detailed look at how it works:

Plasma Technology

Creation of Micro-injuries: The Opus Plasma device generates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This is achieved by ionizing atmospheric gas to create plasma, which then precisely ablates tiny fractions of the skin. OpusPlasma can deliver plasma energy at multiple levels to customise a treatment for your specific skincare concerns.

Surface Renewal: These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to the exfoliation of damaged skin cells and the emergence of fresh, healthy skin.

Radio frequency (RF) Energy

Deep Heating: Concurrently, the Opus Plasma system delivers RF energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This energy heats the dermal tissues, promoting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity.

Collagen Remodelling: The heat from the RF energy causes existing collagen fibers to contract and tighten, while also stimulating the production of new collagen. This process improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars over time.

Dual-Action Mechanism

Synergistic Effects: The combination of superficial plasma ablation and deep RF heating allows for a comprehensive rejuvenation process. The plasma treats the surface imperfections, while the RF energy addresses deeper structural issues, leading to a more thorough and longer-lasting improvement in skin quality. 

Customisation and versatility

Skin Concern: The treatment can be customised to be mainly ablative (resurfacing) or mainly RF heating (tightening).

Treatment area: This treatment can be applied to various concern areas– including the delicate areas of the face, neck, and décolleté, and skin that has thinned due to ageing. A light, moderate or advanced resurfacing result can be achieved based on the desired outcome and patient skin type

Customisation: This versatile procedure can be adjusted to meet your specific needs, whether you're looking for the gentle resurfacing effects of a light chemical peel or the more intensive results of a fraxel.

The Treatment Process

Preparation: Before the treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure patient comfort. This helps to minimise any discomfort during the procedure. This will depend on the intensity level chosen for your skin type and concern. 

Application: The practitioner moves the Opus Plasma handpiece over the target area, delivering controlled pulses of plasma and RF energy. Patients may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation. The entire face can be treated in just 15 minutes, providing you with immediate, visible improvements and minimal post-treatment downtime.

Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, patients might experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a day or two. The skin will then begin to peel and flake off, revealing smoother and more youthful skin beneath

Recovery and Results

Minimal Downtime: One of the major advantages of Opus Plasma is the minimal downtime. Patients can typically return to their normal activities shortly after treatment.

Visible Improvement: Improvements in skin texture, tone, and tightness can be seen within a few days, with continued improvement as new collagen forms over the following weeks. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended, depending on individual skin concerns and goals. 

Opus Plasma represents a significant advancement in skin resurfacing technology. By combining plasma’s precise ablation with the deep heating effects of RF energy, it offers a powerful yet minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation. This innovative treatment effectively addresses a range of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, making it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
