Love laser results, hate laser downtime? Opus Plasma resurfaces wrinkles, texture, scars, and crepey neck skin with fractional plasma energy — about half the recovery of a laser peel.

Fractional skin resurfacing has been the gold standard for repairing aging skin for decades — but the laser version can mean days or weeks of recovery. Opus Plasma delivers the same fractional-resurfacing science with a different energy source, plasma, that precisely controls how long energy touches the tissue. Less inflammation, faster healing, same collagen-rebuilding result.
At Serene Med Spa in Barboursville, Opus Plasma is our go-to for skin tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and the neck. The treatment takes about 15 minutes after topical numbing, and most patients see 24–48 hours of mild to moderate redness and swelling at moderate settings — makeup can go on after a day. You’ll notice improvement after one session; two to three treatments deliver the best results. Settings are matched to your Fitzpatrick skin type and individual results vary.
Soften lines around the eyes and mouth and smooth etched cheeks and forehead.
Tighten and smooth the “turkey neck” and sun-crinkled décolletage.
Resurface pitted scars, rough texture, and enlarged pores.
Even out blotchy, sun-weathered skin for a clearer, brighter look.
Blend stretch marks and surgical scars on the body over a short series.
Smooth crepey, sun-spotted hands — one of the most requested Opus areas.
We assess your skin, concerns, and downtime tolerance and choose a gentle glow-up setting or a deeper resurfacing plan.
Topical numbing for 30–45 minutes, then about 15 minutes of treatment. You’ll feel warmth; most patients tolerate it easily.
24–48 hours of pinkness and mild swelling at moderate settings; makeup after a day. Skin looks fresher within a week and keeps improving for months as collagen rebuilds.
Two to three sessions about a month apart give the best result, then a maintenance treatment once or twice a year.
Resurfacing results depend on the settings, and the settings depend on the person holding the handpiece. At Serene, Opus Plasma treatments are performed by physicians who match energy to your skin type, your concern, and how much downtime you can afford — not a one-size preset.

Like fractional laser, Opus creates a grid of micro-injuries that trigger the skin to rebuild. The difference is the energy source: plasma, generated by radiofrequency, instead of light.
Plasma controls how long energy touches tissue, so there is far less collateral inflammation. A published study found Opus needed about 50% less downtime than fractional laser resurfacing.
Energy goes up or down per pass, so the same device does a glow-up with a day of pinkness or a deeper resurfacing for etched lines and scars.
Neck, around the mouth, around the eyes, and the hands — the delicate areas that make many lasers nervous are where Opus shines.
Numbing cream goes on for about 30–45 minutes; the treatment itself is roughly 15 minutes for a full face.
Opus layers well with Botox, filler, Skinvive, and PRP for a complete, natural-looking refresh.
A fractional skin-resurfacing treatment that uses radiofrequency-generated plasma instead of laser light. It removes a small fraction of the skin in a micro-grid, prompting the surrounding skin to repair itself with new collagen — improving tone, texture, wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.
Same fractional science, different energy. Plasma precisely controls energy-to-tissue contact time, which limits the collateral inflammation that drags out laser recovery. A clinical study found Opus needed about 50% less downtime than fractional laser resurfacing.
You’ll feel heat. We apply topical numbing for 30–45 minutes first and most patients describe treatment as very tolerable. Deeper settings may feel warmer for a few minutes afterward.
At moderate settings, 24–48 hours of mild to moderate redness and swelling. Makeup can be worn after 24 hours. Aggressive settings for deep lines or scars mean a few more days of peeling.
You’ll see improvement after one. Best results typically come from two to three treatments spaced about a month apart, followed by yearly maintenance.
Anyone from their 20s to their 90s with texture, tone, wrinkle, scar, or laxity concerns. Because the energy is adjustable, Opus works for a subtle glow-up as well as a serious resurfacing, and it can focus on the neck, around the mouth, and around the eyes.
Yes — neck, chest, hands, stretch marks, and scars on the body are all common Opus areas.
