Who Is a Good Candidate for Opus Plasma?
Like all energy-based devices, this treatment works by making targeted areas of trauma in the skin to trigger wound-healing processes that ultimately improve the tone and texture of the skin. By targeting only a fraction of the skin each treatment session, the healing time from fractional procedures is reduced.
Unlike lasers, Opus Plasma® uses fractional plasma energy instead of light energy. While lasers use light to create injuries that penetrate the layers of skin, Opus Plasma® supercharges pins on the handpiece using high frequency energy. When these pins come in close contact with the skin, the energy discharges, creating plasma sparks that make micro-channels surrounded by undamaged skin to aid in healing. The surface of the skin improves as dead skin cells fall away and are replaced by new skin cells. There is also stimulation of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the dermis over the next three months.
Almost everything around us has an effect on our skin, which works to protect the body from harmful factors and stressors—which also cause our skin to age at an accelerated rate. It makes sense to consider these factors and what can be done about them if you want to maintain glowing skin.
Sun damage is one of the major factors that causes damage to the skin because it permeates the various layers, causing damage to the DNA. For many people, sun exposure the primary cause of the greatest level of damage to their skin. Pollutants from the air, harsh detergents or soaps, smoke, or cleaning agents can contain strong chemicals that also have a detrimental effect on the skin. Dehydration from not drinking enough water and a lack of moisturizer can further impact the health and vitality of your skin.
Considering all of these elements, it’s no wonder that there are times when your skin can look a little under the weather. Although we can’t avoid the aging process or protect the skin completely against external stressors, we can adopt a skin care routine that gives our skin the nourishment and hydration it needs. If you want to restore a healthy, radiant appearance, energy-based cosmetic treatments can help.
Curious about whether you would be a good candidate for Opus Plasma®? The extremely versatile skin treatment can target a wide range of concerns. It can be adjusted to a light, moderate, or aggressive setting and is ideal for addressing textural issues on the skin such as fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It can also address laxity, sagging, stretch marks, and an uneven skin tone.
The device works especially well for improving loose skin on the neck area and softening horizontal “tech neck” wrinkles. The more sensitive, delicate skin on the neck area can often be challenging to treat with conventional skin rejuvenation treatments. Opus Plasma® can also be used in close proximity to the eyes, so it’s ideal for addressing fine lines and crow’s feet.
One of the benefits Opus Plasma® has over many types of lasers is that it can be used on all skin types, including darker skin tones. The treatment can be fully customized to be as gentle or aggressive as the patient wants the procedure to be, and it delivers reliable and noticeable results after just one treatment. This device can be used on the full face, a smaller, targeted area of the face, or other areas of the body, including the chest, arms, and knees.
