Fractional plasma energy paired with radiofrequency, resurfacing skin with a precision lasers alone can't match.

What is
Opus Plasma?
Opus Plasma is the first technology of its kind: fractional plasma. Radiofrequency energizes the air at the tip of the device into microscopic bursts of plasma that resurface the skin on contact.
Each burst treats a tiny fraction of the surface and leaves the skin around it untouched, so healing starts immediately from every side — which is what keeps downtime to a few days.
The payoff is renewal across texture, tone, fine lines, and acne scarring — which typically clears over a short series of sessions — with intensity that tunes from gentle refresh to deep resurfacing on the same platform.
Our specialists calibrate Opus to your skin and your schedule, choosing the exact energy level your goals require.
Micro-treated zones surrounded by untouched skin recover in days rather than weeks.
From lunchtime refresh to deep resurfacing, the same device scales to the goal.
Adjustable energy makes it safe for delicate areas where crepiness shows first.
The radiofrequency component keeps remodeling skin for months after the redness fades.
When texture, tone, and time all need addressing, Opus does it in one chair.
Every resurfacing consult here compares Opus, CoolPeel, and ResurFX honestly. Opus wins when flexibility matters: mixed concerns, delicate areas, or a downtime budget that changes month to month.
Mixed Concerns, One Face
Fine lines here, rough patches there, an old scar somewhere else. Tunable energy treats each zone appropriately.
Neck and Chest Included
Crepey skin below the jawline needs the adjustable touch Opus was designed for.
Acne Left Its Map
Textural scarring responds to plasma's precise, repeatable resurfacing depth.

Results from
deep science.
When radiofrequency charges the air around the device's metal pins, it converts that air into plasma, the same energized state that makes lightning glow. Opus uses brief, controlled bursts of it to resurface skin with remarkable precision.
Both renew the surface and stimulate collagen. Opus tends to trade a little of the laser's aggression for speed of healing and flexibility, and its intensity can be tuned dramatically from a gentle refresh to deep resurfacing within the same platform.
Many patients see meaningful change after a single session. For deeper texture concerns or scarring, a series of two to three sessions spaced about a month apart builds the best result.
Expect a sunburn-like redness for one to three days, with light roughness as the treated microzones heal. Most patients return to normal routines within a couple of days, wearing sunscreen religiously.
Yes, and that is one of its strengths. The adjustable energy makes it well suited to thinner, less forgiving skin beyond the face, where crepiness tends to show first.
