Opus Plasma® Resurfacing Face & Body
Have you been experiencing changes in your skin that won’t seem to improve with regular skincare solutions? Whether it’s the stress of daily life or signs of aging starting to reveal themselves, skin imperfections may make you feel less than optimal about the appearance of your skin. Opus Plasma® provides skin resurfacing to resolve skin concerns on your face and body, leaving you with a fresh outlook that begins skin-deep.
What Is Opus Plasma® Resurfacing?
The Opus Plasma® device from Alma is a handheld device covered with small metal pins. This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to help the skin heal itself, resulting in new and improved skin surfaces.
How Does Opus Plasma® Resurfacing Work?
Opus Plasma® resurfacing involves using a minimally invasive handheld device. The metal pins on the device are powered with radiofrequency energy. When the device is brought close to the skin, the radiofrequency reacts with the surrounding air to create plasma. This procedure causes intentional micro-injuries to the skin, in turn stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes.
In response to the micro-injuries, the skin releases collagen and elastin to begin healing itself. By boosting the production of these naturally occurring proteins, skin becomes firmer, and fine lines and wrinkles are filled in—reducing their appearance. This process only takes 15-30 minutes and can improve several signs of aging and skin concerns.

What Areas Can Be Treated?
The Opus Plasma® device can be used anywhere on the face, including sensitive areas surrounding the mouth and eyes. It can also be used in areas across the body, including the neck, chest, stomach, hands, and other areas where you’d like to address skin concerns. This skin treatment works well for hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, skin laxity, texture issues, and even dullness.
What Are the Benefits?
Opus is considered a “fractional treatment,” so it is safe to use in several areas because it only targets small parts of the skin at one time. Several benefits are seen from this small targeting process:
Address Pigmentation
Opus can resolve pigmentation issues from the more severe like hyperpigmentation, to everyday concerns like dullness and uneven tone.
Resolve Scarring
The plasma device can reduce the appearance of acne scars and even deeper scarring from surgeries like a C-section or similar.
Reduce Aging Signs
By signaling the body’s healing processes, signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles are reduced through an increased production of collagen and elastin.
Skin Tightening
The resulting increase of collagen and elastin can tighten sagging or loose skin, like drooping eyelids or skin around the mouth or chin.
Exfoliation
This plasma process helps remove multiple layers of dead skin cells, along with excess oil and dirt, resulting in a fresh and exfoliated appearance.
Improved Skin Hydration
Opus is refined to remove dead skin cells while preserving the skin’s lipid layer. This improves the skin’s hydration and allows deeper penetration of skincare products.
The Opus Plasma® device from Alma is one of the best tools available for you and your provider to work together in resolving your skin concerns. The device is gentle yet effective and can be precisely dialed in by the physician to obtain optimal results with minimal discomfort.

Consultation
It is important to schedule a consultation with one of our trained providers before scheduling your Opus Plasma® treatment. At this appointment, we will discuss your skin concerns to decide on the best treatment plan for you. We will also make you aware of any pre-treatment steps you will need to take, along with any medications you may need to avoid prior to your appointment.
Numbing Cream
We will cleanse your skin before the treatment to ensure a sterile environment, but it is best to arrive with fresh skin which includes no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen. To minimize any discomfort you may feel during the treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to the targeted area(s). This is usually left on for 10-15 minutes to ensure the skin is fully numbed.
Opus Plasma® Device
The handheld device is moved carefully across the skin in the targeted zones. Tiny metal pins emitting radiofrequency are stimulated by the air to create plasma. This process creates tiny channels of micro-injuries in the deeper layers of the skin. Your physician can dial the intensity of the radiofrequency up or down throughout the treatment based on your comfort and the needs of your skin.
Healing
Your skin may experience redness, swelling, and peeling, typically resolving within a few hours, but up to three days. During the micro-injury stage of the treatment, your skin’s natural healing processes were activated to increase its production of collagen and elastin. This healing will continue for several weeks or even months, continuing to improve your skin’s appearance.
Results
As the side effects subside and collagen and elastin continue to be produced, you will start to notice skin improvements within a few days, with optimal results being seen within one week. However, your skin will continue to produce more of those proteins in the coming weeks and months, resulting in gradually continuing improvements. Most patients see noticeable results from one treatment, but a few treatments may be needed for more extensive skin concerns.
