In today’s world of advanced aesthetic technology, non-surgical skin rejuvenation has become more effective and accessible than ever. At Cosmetic Facial Center of New Jersey, we are proud to offer one of the most exciting innovations in skin resurfacing: Opus Plasma.
Whether you're dealing with fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or acne scars, Opus Plasma offers a fast, effective, and minimally invasive solution that delivers impressive results with minimal downtime. If you’ve been curious about how this technology works or whether it’s right for you, this beginner’s guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Opus Plasma is a fractional skin resurfacing treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and plasma to improve the skin’s tone, texture, and tightness. It’s often described as a hybrid between traditional laser resurfacing and microneedling—but with more control, less downtime, and broader skin-type compatibility.
Developed by Alma Lasers, Opus Plasma is the first fractional plasma device of its kind. It’s gaining popularity for its ability to deliver dramatic improvements with minimal recovery time, making it ideal for patients seeking a non-surgical solution for rejuvenating their skin.
Opus Plasma uses RF energy delivered through a specialized metal tip, which reacts with the air to create plasma. This plasma energy is directed into the skin’s surface in a controlled, fractional pattern.
This unique combination does two things:
What makes it different from traditional lasers or microneedling is the precision and reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissues. That means faster healing, fewer side effects, and more consistent results.
Opus Plasma is remarkably versatile and effective for a range of skin concerns, including:
It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and even around the mouth or eyes, where the skin is more delicate.
A typical Opus Plasma session lasts 20–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
During treatment, patients may feel a warm, prickling sensation—similar to a mild sunburn. Most describe it as tolerable and far less intense than traditional laser treatments.
There may be redness and mild swelling afterward, similar to a sunburn, but most people are back to their regular routine within 24 to 48 hours.
Most patients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, but a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
At Cosmetic Facial Center of New Jersey, we customize each treatment plan to your individual goals, skin type, and condition.
Yes! One of the major advantages of Opus Plasma is its suitability for a wider range of skin tones, including darker Fitzpatrick skin types, which are often more prone to pigmentation issues with traditional laser treatments. The controlled energy delivery and fractional application help reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making it a safer choice for diverse patients.
