Advanced fractional plasma resurfacing for acne scars, wrinkles, and skin tightening

If you are looking for powerful skin resurfacing in Reno without the extended downtime of traditional CO2 lasers, Opus Plasma offers dramatic results with significantly faster recovery. At Posh Medical, we use Opus Plasma to improve acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and mild to moderate skin laxity.

This advanced treatment combines radiofrequency energy with plasma technology to stimulate deep collagen remodeling while resurfacing the skin’s surface. The result is smoother, tighter, more radiant skin with typically only 1 to 7 days of downtime depending on treatment intensity.

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.

  • Acne scars

  • Uneven texture
  • Crepey skin

It is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, making it a versatile resurfacing option for many skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Opus Plasma is a fractional skin resurfacing treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with plasma technology to improve skin texture, tone, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity.
It delivers controlled micro-injuries into the skin through fractional plasma energy, stimulating collagen remodeling and tissue tightening with significantly less downtime than traditional CO2 lasers. Unlike older ablative lasers, Opus allows customizable intensity levels, meaning treatments can be adjusted based on your goals and tolerance for downtime.
At Posh Medical in Reno, Opus is used to create smoother, brighter, firmer skin without surgery.

Opus improves acne scars, softens fine lines and wrinkles, tightens loose skin, refines pores, reduces sun damage, and enhances overall texture and radiance.
Because it stimulates your body’s own collagen production, improvements continue developing for several months after treatment. It is ideal for patients who want meaningful resurfacing results without the extended recovery associated with traditional fully ablative lasers.
Benefits may include:
• Smoother skin texture
• Improved acne scarring
• Reduced pore size
• Brighter complexion
• Mild skin tightening
• Long term collagen stimulation
Treatment intensity can be customized, allowing patients to choose between lighter refresh treatments or deeper resurfacing sessions.

Most patients benefit from 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper acne scarring or advanced texture concerns may require 3 to 5 sessions.
While many patients see visible improvement after a single treatment, collagen remodeling continues for up to 3 months after each session. A series produces more comprehensive and longer lasting correction.
Maintenance treatments once per year may be recommended to preserve collagen stimulation and skin firmness.

Healthy adults looking to improve skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or mild skin laxity are typically good candidates.
Opus is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI when performed appropriately. It is an excellent option for patients who want stronger resurfacing than microneedling but less downtime than traditional CO2 lasers.
A consultation is required to evaluate your skin condition, discuss expectations, and review your medical history before treatment.

Opus may not be appropriate if you:
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have an active skin infection or open wounds
• Have uncontrolled autoimmune conditions
• Have used isotretinoin within the past 6 months
• Have active cold sores without antiviral prophylaxis
• Have implanted electronic devices in the treatment area
• Have certain medical conditions that impair healing
A full consultation will determine eligibility and ensure safe treatment.

Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating products, and active skincare approximately one week prior to treatment unless otherwise directed. Avoid sun exposure and tanning.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. If you have a history of cold sores, preventive antiviral medication may be prescribed to reduce the risk of reactivation.
We will review detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation to ensure optimal healing and results.

Topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment for comfort.
The handpiece is passed across the treatment area delivering controlled plasma and RF energy in fractional pulses. Most patients describe warmth, light pressure, and a tolerable prickling sensation.
Treatment time typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area treated.

You can expect redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 24 to 48 hours.
Over the next several days, the skin may feel slightly rough or develop a bronzed appearance as microscopic treatment zones begin to heal. Light flaking or peeling may occur around days 3 to 5 as the skin renews itself.
Downtime ranges from 1 to 7 days depending on treatment intensity. Proper moisturizing and strict daily SPF use are essential for optimal healing and protection.
Makeup can typically be worn within a few days depending on the depth of treatment.

Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within the first week.
Collagen production continues for up to 3 months after each session, leading to progressive tightening, improved texture, and softening of acne scars and fine lines. Results build gradually and appear natural because they are driven by your body’s own collagen response.
Most patients experience noticeable improvement in skin quality, firmness, and radiance after a full series. Individual results vary depending on baseline skin condition, treatment intensity, and adherence to aftercare.

Pricing varies depending on treatment area and intensity level. During your consultation at Posh Medical in Reno, we will provide transparent pricing and package options tailored to your goals.
