At Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics, we are proud to offer Opus Plasma®, the next generation in fractional skin resurfacing. Unlike traditional laser-based systems, Opus Plasma® uses Fractional Plasma® technology, which combines the effectiveness of fractional resurfacing with the unique benefits of plasma energy. This breakthrough treatment provides:
- Dramatic results in skin renewal and texture improvement
- Significantly less downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing
- A customizable treatment experience for different skin types, ages, and concerns
Why Plasma?
Laser-based resurfacing has been the gold standard for decades, but it often comes with significant downtime. Opus Plasma® delivers powerful results with far less recovery time. Using controlled plasma energy, the system precisely limits heat exposure, minimizing inflammation while stimulating skin renewal. The result is smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin without the extended healing period of traditional methods.
What Does Opus Plasma® Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sun damage and uneven skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild skin laxity
What to Expect With Opus Plasma®
- Quick treatment: Most sessions take about 15 minutes and are performed in our Tucson, AZ office
- Comfortable experience: A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort
- Personalized plan: Your provider customizes energy levels and treatment depth to match your needs
- Visible results: Many patients notice improvements after the first treatment, though two to three sessions are typically recommended for optimal results
Is the Treatment Painful?
Discomfort varies depending on the treatment area and settings used. With the application of a topical anesthetic, most patients find the procedure very tolerable.
Recovery After Opus Plasma®
One of the main benefits of Opus Plasma® is shortened downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing. Clinical studies show up to 50% less downtime than standard fractional laser treatments, and with moderate settings, most patients experience only 24 to 48 hours of mild redness and swelling. Most patients return to normal daily activities quickly. Protect your new skin with gentle care, medical-grade skin care products, and daily sunscreen.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Opus Plasma® is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of patients across different age groups, skin tones and types, and skin concerns, including wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven texture. Your provider can adjust treatment intensity to create a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
