Your skin is your largest, fastest-growing, and most exposed organ. To stay strong, resilient, and functional, the epidermal tissues that comprise this vast, protective organ are in an ongoing state of turnover, repair, and renewal.
Essentially, your skin helps you put your best face forward — until it doesn’t.
Whether your complexion has been aged by age-related collagen loss, damaged by sun exposure, or marred by a skin condition like acne, Susan Lacy, MD, FACOG, and our team at Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health have a simple, comprehensive solution: Opus Plasma® skin resurfacing.
Opus Plasma therapy is a comprehensive skin renewal technique that uses therapeutic levels of factional plasma energy to effectively minimize common signs of aging, reverse sun damage, reduce the appearance of scars, correct hyperpigmentation, and restore a healthier, more youthful complexion.
At Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health, we resurface the skin with the “next generation” in fractional technology — the Opus Plasma device. When the handheld device is passed over the treatment area, its noninvasive metal rods emit controlled pulses of electric plasma energy that affect your skin tissues in two beneficial ways.
First, the plasma energy emanating from the device’s metal rods creates microchannels, or “micro-injuries,” across the skin surface. These tiny surface channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, encouraging rapid renewal that helps the shed outer layers of damaged tissue to reveal the healthier, fresher skin layers underneath.
Second, the plasma energy gently heats the deep foundational structures of your skin to trigger a long-lasting increase in collagen production and elastin renewal.
We perform skin resurfacing with the Opus Plasma device because we want you to attain maximal benefit with minimal (or zero) downtime. This advanced technique treats your top skin layers fractionally, meaning it breaks up the plasma energy into small, focused beams that target the skin surface precisely and gently.
This means you can expect dramatic skin renewal results with just a day or two of post-treatment skin redness rather than a week (or longer) of intensive healing that’s standard with ablative laser devices.
Even better, we can adjust the Opus Plasma device to be ablative or fully non-ablative, depending on your skin concerns, aesthetic goals, and acceptable length of downtime.
Opus Plasma therapy can improve the appearance of common skin imperfections and restore a more youthful complexion. Here are five problems it can minimize or correct:
Plasma skin resurfacing helps erase fine lines by clearing away damaged surface layers; it also reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and creases as it stimulates long-lasting collagen and elastin renewal through every dermal layer.
Besides smoothing out lines and wrinkles, the dramatic and sustained increase in collagen and elastin production helps your skin rebuild its foundational structures. As the building blocks that form your dermal tissues are fortified and tightened, loose, sagging skin becomes tighter, firmer, and more resilient.
Opus Plasma resurfacing corrects areas of sun damage in two ways. First, it restores underlying collagen and elastin structures to smooth uneven skin texture from the inside out; second, it targets dark spots and other areas of hyperpigmentation.
Minor dark spots may be cleared through microchannel-induced surface renewal. At the same time, the device’s tissue-saturating plasma energy works to break up deeper areas of hyperpigmentation into tiny particles that gradually fade away.
Opus Plasma resurfacing erases or minimizes shallow scars, including acne scars, as it fosters healthier, smoother skin. Its scar-reduction action is twofold: First, the device creates tiny perforations (micro-injuries) in dense scar tissue to help break it apart; at the same time, it triggers deep collagen remodeling to foster renewed smoothness through each skin layer.
Skin resurfacing is one of the most effective ways to revitalize a dull, tired complexion. By taking a thorough “inside-out, outside-in” approach to skin renewal, an Opus Plasma treatment gives you increasingly smoother, even skin that looks brighter, tighter, and more uniform as time goes on.
Whether you want to minimize the signs of aging, erase scars, reverse sun damage, even out pigmentation problems, shrink large pores, revitalize your complexion, or all the above, Opus Plasma skin resurfacing can do the job.
