Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Opus Plasma RF Microneedling.

Opus Plasma uses fractional plasma and radiofrequency microneedling to create controlled micro-injuries and thermal zones. This stimulates a robust wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin that remodel texture, reduce fine lines, and improve scars and pigmentation over weeks to months.

Ideal candidates are adults seeking improved texture, diminished scars, pore refinement, and improved skin tone. Contraindications include active infection, recent isotretinoin use, pregnancy, or a history of keloid formation. A consultation determines personalized suitability and settings.

Expect redness, mild swelling, and temporary crusting or peeling for several days. Most patients return to routine activities within 3–7 days; full healing and collagen remodeling continue for weeks. Strict sun protection and prescribed aftercare optimize results and reduce complications.

Many patients achieve significant improvement after one session, but 1–3 treatments spaced about 4–8 weeks apart are common for deeper concerns. Your provider will recommend a customized plan based on skin condition, goals, and response to initial treatment.

Topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most patients describe mild to moderate sensation and tolerable heat during the procedure. Deeper settings may increase discomfort, and additional comfort measures are available when needed.

Initial improvements appear within days to weeks, with progressive collagen remodeling over 3–6 months. Results are durable but not permanent; maintenance treatments and good skincare prolong benefits while natural aging continues.
