Opus Plasma®
Am I a candidate?As you’ve gone through life, your skin may have been confronted with a variety of conditions that you wish you could reverse—fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, enlarged pore size, stretch marks, and acne scarring. These elements in your life can diminish your confidence and leave you wishing you could do something to effectively reverse these signs of aging.
At Renew Wellness & Aesthetics, we are pleased to be the first to offer the Opus Plasma® laser resurfacing treatment in Oklahoma City. This treatment offers dramatic results with significantly less downtime than other laser resurfacing options and a higher safety profile.
This innovative resurfacing treatment combines two powerful modalities—plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy—to heal the skin both on the surface and deeper within. RF reaches deeper into the skin, heating the underlying layers of the dermis to boost collagen production and tighten the skin.
At the same time, the plasma treats more superficial layers of the skin, minimizing damage and the resulting downtime. This combination also makes Opus Plasma® highly versatile and effective for both delicate areas (such as the eyelids) and larger concerns (such as stretch marks on the abdomen).

What to Expect
Consultation
During your complimentary consultation at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics, your provider will thoroughly examine your skin, listen to your concerns, and answer all of your questions. As Opus Plasma® is a highly customizable treatment, your provider will determine the appropriate tip(s), energy level, and a number of passes to produce the results you desire.
Treatment
Your treatment begins with your Renew provider applying a topical numbing agent to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the session. Renew also offers PRO-NOX, a self-administered nitrous oxide system to lessen pain and anxiety during the treatment. When the skin is numb, your provider will quickly glide the Opus Plasma® handpiece across the treatment area, with a full-face treatment taking only about 15-20 minutes.
Next Steps
After your treatment, your provider will discuss your aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have. Initial improvement will be seen in 4 to 5 days, with skin tightening due to collagen stimulation continuing to improve for up to 8 to 12 weeks. After the desired result is achieved, we typically recommend one maintenance treatment per year.
