Overview
What is Opus Plasma?
Opus Plasma delivers fractional radiofrequency energy that forms tiny plasma sparks on the skin’s surface. These create controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen production and surface renewal.
Because it is not a laser, it can be a good option for a wider range of skin types, and it is often combined with procedures like submental liposuction to tighten the face and neck.
What it treats
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose skin on the face and neck
- Acne scars
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
Who it’s for
- Adults wanting tightening and resurfacing in one treatment
- Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity
- People who want less downtime than CO2
- Patients combining with submental liposuction

Your Treatment
After numbing, the Opus tip is passed over the skin. Treatment of the full face takes about 30 minutes.

Real Results
Before & after
Vita Nova patients, shared with their written permission. Individual results vary.
Is Opus a laser?
No. It uses radiofrequency energy to create plasma, rather than laser light.
How long is the downtime?
Most patients have redness and small grid marks for two to five days.
How is it different from CO2?
Opus generally has shorter downtime and may suit more skin types; CO2 can be more dramatic for deep sun damage. We help you choose.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Opus is often paired with submental liposuction to tighten the neck and jawline.
How much does Opus Plasma cost?
Opus Plasma pricing depends on the area treated, such as the face, neck, chest or around the eyes. You receive an exact quote after your evaluation. CareCredit financing is available.
How many Opus treatments will I need?
Many patients see good results with one to three sessions, about four to six weeks apart.
Is Opus painful?
We apply numbing cream first. Most patients feel heat and prickling that is well tolerated.
When will I see results?
Skin looks smoother once it heals in a few days, with tightening continuing over three to six months.
What areas can Opus treat?
The face, neck, around the eyes and areas of the body with loose or textured skin.
