How Opus Plasma Works
Opus Plasma by Alma Lasers is an FDA-cleared fractional resurfacing treatment that uses high-frequency radiofrequency energy combined with plasma.
The handpiece contains metal pins that emit RF energy. When this energy interacts with the air between the device and your skin, it creates plasma, an ionized gas that delivers controlled micro-injuries to the epidermis while heating deeper dermal layers.
This dual mechanism:
- Stimulates new collagen and elastin production
- Tightens existing collagen fibers
- Improves acne scarring
- Refines skin texture
- Softens fine lines and wrinkles
Because the treatment is fractional, surrounding tissue remains intact. This allows for significantly faster healing compared to traditional fully ablative CO2 lasers.
What Concerns Can Opus Plasma Treat
Opus Plasma is ideal for patients in Reno looking to address:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Crepey skin
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Early jowling or skin looseness
It is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, making it a versatile resurfacing option for many skin tones.
