Call to BookAbout Skin Resurfacing & Tightening
This advanced skin resurfacing treatment (using Opus Plasma technology) bridges the gap between gentle facials and aggressive laser treatments. It uses plasma energy to tighten skin, reduce acne scars, and smooth fine lines—with less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing. Patients from Lancaster, Palmdale, and surrounding Antelope Valley communities often choose Opus when they want meaningful resurfacing with a consultation-first downtime plan.
How It Works
- 1High-Frequency RF: Operates at 40.68MHz for deep, uniform energy delivery across the treatment area
- 2Plasma Generation: RF energy converts atmospheric nitrogen into plasma, which creates controlled micro-channels in the skin surface
- 3Fractional Pattern: Only a fraction of the skin is treated per session, leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed healing
- 4Collagen Remodeling: Controlled thermal zones trigger the body's wound-healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production
- 5Adjustable Depth: Energy settings can be customized by area — lighter for delicate zones like the neck, more intensive for textured scars

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Opus Plasma differ from laser?
Opus Plasma uses high-frequency radiofrequency to create plasma energy, offering the skin-resurfacing results of a laser but with significantly less downtime and safe for more skin types.
Is the treatment painful?
We apply a numbing cream prior to treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients report feeling only mild heat or a prickly sensation.
What is the downtime?
You might experience some redness and minor swelling for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. You can usually apply makeup after a day or two.
How many sessions do I need?
While you'll notice improvements after one visit, most patients achieve optimal skin tightening and resurfacing results with a series of 2-3 treatments.
Can Opus Plasma be used on the neck and chest?
Yes. Opus Plasma is effective on the face, neck, and décolleté. These areas often show sun damage and crepey texture that respond well to fractional plasma resurfacing.
How soon can I wear makeup after Opus Plasma?
Most patients can apply mineral-based makeup within 1-2 days after treatment. We recommend avoiding heavy or occlusive products until any micro-crusting has resolved.
