Opus
Our qualified team has the expertise to provide personalized Opus treatments that target your most challenging areas. Using multiple Opus tips, we can treat both hard-to-reach and larger areas for impressive results. Below, explore the benefits of Opus skin resurfacing and our unique approach to treatment.
What is Opus?
Opus skin resurfacing, also known as Opus plasma resurfacing, is a non-surgical procedure that uses high-frequency, unipolar technology to deliver radiofrequency energy and plasma to the skin.
This innovative approach addresses superficial to complex textural and skin-quality concerns that are typically treated with conventional fractional lasers, offering reduced downtime and an enhanced safety profile.
Opus treatments utilize radiofrequency energy to convert atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into plasma. This creates micro-perforations (controlled micro-injuries) in the skin that stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration. This wound-healing process results in visibly smoother, more even skin.
Opus Target Areas
Opus treatments can be used on various body areas, allowing for custom-tailored treatments that address your specific concerns. Common target areas include:
- Eyes
- Face
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Chin
- Thighs
The Opus device is also effective in treating delicate areas, such as around the lips. Opus can:
- Minimize the appearance of acne or surgical scars and stretch marks
- Provide overall skin rejuvenation
- Address signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines
- Reduce age spots
- Improve uneven skin tones or textures
- Target areas of hyperpigmentation
- Reduce pore size
- Tighten and improve skin laxity
- Reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve circulation
Benefits of Opus Skin Resurfacing
Opus skin resurfacing offers a wide array of unique benefits compared to traditional fractional resurfacing lasers, including:
Fast Sessions & Minimal Downtime
Sessions are short, lasting only 10 to 30 minutes, and require minimal downtime. Patients can resume normal activities immediately. Most experience mild swelling or redness for only one to two days post-treatment.
Additionally, patients typically see visible improvements quickly, with 2 to 3 sessions generally enough to address most skin concerns.
Targeted, Customizable Treatments
Opus treatments offer precision and customization through various tip options. At YES MD Atlanta, we offer attachments that promote collagen production by creating controlled micro-damage, prompting your skin to produce new collagen and elastin.
Opus is also ideal for patients who wish to plump their skin but are not candidates for fillers or Botox, as the radiofrequency energy enhances skin volume, giving a refreshed, rejuvenated look.
Treats a Variety of Skin Concerns
Opus skin resurfacing can address multiple skin concerns, making it a versatile treatment option. Whether you seek an alternative to Botox for fine lines and wrinkles or wish to minimize acne scars, Opus can deliver outstanding results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Opus
Are Opus treatments painful?
At YES MD Atlanta, your comfort is a priority. Treatment sessions are typically short (10-30 minutes). A topical numbing cream is applied 20-30 minutes prior, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Who is a good candidate for Opus treatments?
Opus skin resurfacing is safe for all skin types and tones. Unlike other fractional devices, such as CO2 lasers, Opus can be used safely on a broader range of patients. During your consultation, your YES MD Atlanta provider will review your medical history to determine your treatment eligibility and adjust energy levels to suit your skin type and aesthetic goals.
Please note, however, that individuals with cardiac pacemakers, epilepsy, thyroid diseases, cancerous tumors, or those who are pregnant may not be suitable candidates for Opus treatments.
What precautions should I take post-treatment?
After treatment, your provider will review aftercare instructions to help you maximize results. Avoid hot showers and activities that induce heavy sweating (such as saunas or hot tubs) for 24 hours post-treatment. Minimize sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF for added skin protection.
Skincare products found on the shelves of many stores contain harmful ingredients or ingredients that do not deliver promised results. Instead, AlumierMD uses medical-grade ingredients such as retinol, antioxidants, AHAs, BHAs, etc. to deliver exceptional results and help you achieve more vibrant, radiant skin.
Can Opus skin resurfacing be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, Opus can be combined with certain other procedures, like dermal fillers or microneedling, to enhance skin texture, tone, and appearance. Consult with your YES MD Atlanta provider to determine the best combination and timing for your treatments.
