Plasma Skin Resurfacing
Understanding Plasma Skin Resurfacing
Plasma skin resurfacing is a noninvasive aesthetic procedure designed to address various skin concerns, including sagging skin, texture irregularities, scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. This treatment uses fractional plasma and radiofrequency energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate the body's natural healing process. The result is the regeneration of newer, younger skin with improved texture, tone, and elasticity. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, plasma skin resurfacing offers similar results with significantly less downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation without invasive surgery.
Treatment Overview
During plasma skin resurfacing at Oak Dermatology, the Opus Plasma device is used to create controlled, tiny fractional wounds in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. The procedure begins with the application of a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. The Opus handpiece, equipped with a special rolling tip, emits unipolar radiofrequency energy that generates plasma when it contacts the air. This plasma creates microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal. The treatment typically lasts 30-45 minutes, and patients may experience a sensation of heat and mild sunburn-like effects post-treatment. Proper post-procedure care is essential for optimal results.
