Opus resurfacing treatment is a one of a kind laser treatment which uses unipolar radiofrequency and micro-plasma technology to target scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, as well as dullness. This non-surgical procedure creates microscopic injuries to the skin and will then stimulate the skin’s wound healing response allowing it to repair itself.

Radio-frequency (RF) energy converts nitrogen and oxygen in the air into plasma sparks causing micro perforations in the skin. These micro- injuries promote collagen regeneration to improve skin smoothness and texture.

At Ketchum Family Medicine, we can treat any areas on the face and neck, including sensitive areas such as around the eyes, as well as chest, abdomen, hands, and legs with Opus Plasma laser.

Each Opus resurfacing treatment will take about 15 minutes depending on the size of the area and patients’ concerns. Even though patients see results after initial treatment, the number of treatments for Opus laser depends on the patients’ concerns and the results they’re wanting to achieve. For optimal results, anywhere between 2-5 treatments is recommended with each treatment being spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

One of the benefits of Opus resurfacing treatment is the short downtime. Patients will notice some redness and minor swelling on the treated area, however that will improve in 1-4 days. We’ll give you detailed instructions for post Opus Plasma skin resurfacing treatment.
