About Procedure

How does Opus work?

The Opus operates at a high frequency (over 40 MHz), which charges the metal pins on its tips to a high RF voltage. When close to the skin, it reacts with the air thereby creating plasma-like energy that in turn, creates the microthermal zones of fractional injuries.  The treatments produce results to match the most aggressive CO2 laser or the gentlest laser peel in a fraction of the procedure time and much less patient downtime. The plasma intensity can be adjusted based on the desired ablation effect, which further expands the versatility of the technology – a light, moderate or aggressive resurfacing result can be achieved based on the desired outcome and patient skin type.

What is Opus treatment good for?

The treatments stimulate collagen production resulting in reduction of skin fine lines, wrinkles, loose and saggy skin seen commonly on the face, neck, abdomen and arms.  These treatments help to improve and eliminate acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks as well.

Using topical numbing agents will make the procedure very tolerable. On a scale from 1-10 most patients report a pain level of 2-3. Settings on the device can always be adjusted for comfort.

The actual procedure and skin treatment itself approximately 15 minutes per area, however, plan for approximately 90 minutes if the numbing cream applied in the office vs applying the cream at home prior to arrival at the office.   After the procedure ice will be applied further relief of the discomfort if needed.

Number of sessions will vary based on the severity of the area being treated. Typically, 2 to 3 sessions are recommended for best results.  Sessions are spaced 1-4 weeks apart.  Settings can be increased with each session, providing enhanced results. Many patients are seeing profound results even after the 1st treatment session.

What will I look like after the treatment?

Immediately after the procedure most patients will have a slight redness, similar to a sunburn. The redness may last for 2-3 days, gradually improving each day.   Rarely some patients may experience scabbing in an intensely treated area.

Skin hydration is extremely important before and after each procedure.   You will need to avoid the sun for 2 weeks after each procedure and must apply sunscreen with minimum SPF 50 and hat when outdoors. Must avoid products such as retinal or hydroquinone for 7 days after procedure.  Do not exfoliate skin for at least 7 days after the procedure.

Results are considered long term! While this will not prevent the aging process, results may potentially last 5+ years depending on the genetics, life style and other influencing factors.  These treatments can be repeated as needed.
