There are many factors to consider when deciding whether the Opus Plasma is a good match for your skin. This therapy is specially designed for patients who are unsatisfied with their facial appearance due to scarring. Redefining Beauty can perform a skin assessment and help you determine if this laser treatment is the best option for your needs. Please inform our staff about any open wounds or sores, active acne, or recent sun exposure, as these can impact the success of your treatment.

The Opus Plasma uses pulsating energy beams to clear away damaged skin cells layer by layer. During treatment in Midlothian, TX, patients relax in a comfortable chair while the treatment device is passed over the skin. You may feel a small amount of discomfort followed by cool air from the built-in cooling device. The procedure can be adjusted based on your individual needs and skin type. Dr. Leffingwell may then provide detailed instructions on how to care for your skin following treatment.

After your laser session, you may experience a sensation similar to a sunburn that dissipates after 2 – 3 days. You may also have some swelling and redness. It is important to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun during this time. Redefining Beauty also recommends using cool compresses to soothe the skin. Within a few weeks, you should start to see an improvement in your skin texture and tone. We may recommend multiple treatments to help you achieve optimal results.

How many laser scar treatments should I get?
The number of Opus Plasma treatments your scar or scars require will fluctuate based on your own concerns and desired outcomes. During your visit to Refining Beauty, our providers will evaluate your complexion and decide the number of sessions that might be needed based on the severity of your blemishes. Afterward, we will construct your custom-tailored treatment regimen so you can obtain the best possible results. The majority of patients should expect to require approximately 3 – 4 appointments.

Can Opus Plasma completely eliminate scars?
For the most part, scar tissues cannot be wholly eliminated. However, the targeted RF and plasma energies used during an Opus procedure work to resurface a patient's complexion and produce a more even look. This treatment works to significantly minimize the visibility of most types of scarring, including acne marks, surgical scar tissue, and scars that are thick or raised. At the conclusion of a few acne treatment sessions, the majority of people detect major improvements in the health and look of the skin in question.

How soon can you perform laser scar treatment after an injury?
In order to perform laser scar treatment safely and effectively, you will need to delay the laser treatment until your current wound has healed. Stitches will also need to be removed prior to the procedure. Once the underlying tissue has healed, we can book your laser scar treatment.

Scars can be a major source of insecurity, but you don’t have to live with them anymore. Redefining Beauty offers laser scar treatment using the innovative Opus Plasma in Midlothian, TX.
