Does Your Skin Look Sun-Damaged? 5 Ways Opus Plasma Can Help

There’s no way to go back in time and prevent sun damage, like fine lines and texture changes, but there is a treatment that can help: Opus Plasma® “undoes” sun damage, so your skin looks and feels fresher and more youthful. Here’s how it works.

Wearing sunscreen every day is one of the best and most powerful ways to avoid sun damage and photoaging — but what if the damage has already been done? Then it’s time to look for a solution that can “undo” that damage and improve your skin’s health and vitality.

Jacob Simhaee, MD, FACOG, and his team reverse the damage caused by excess sun exposure using the state-of-the-art Opus Plasma® system, an innovative skin rejuvenation system that helps restore skin health using fractional plasma energy. If you’re bothered by sun-damaged skin, here are five ways Opus Plasma can help.

1. Reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Sun exposure speeds up the breakdown of collagen and elastin, two protein fibers that form an important support network for skin. When UV rays damage collagen and elastin, that network weakens and breaks down, too, leading to sagging skin and an abundance of lines and wrinkles.

Opus Plasma stimulates new collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. As your skin naturally heals following your treatment, it becomes smoother and firmer, while lines and wrinkles become far less visible or fade away entirely.

2. Fading sun spots and discoloration

UV exposure also leads to changes in your skin’s pigment, in part as a natural protective measure against the harmful effects of the radiation. The result: brownish sun spots or age spots that, as the name implies, become a lot more common as we get older.

Opus Plasma fades areas of discoloration by breaking down excess pigments while leaving healthy skin untouched, resulting in an overall skin tone that appears more even and more youthful. Over time, the skin’s renewal process naturally brings healthier, clearer cells to the surface, for a more radiant and balanced complexion.

3. Smoothing uneven texture

Skin tone isn’t the only feature that’s affected by too much sun exposure. Those UV rays can affect your skin’s texture, too, leading to rough patches that make your skin feel worn and uncared for.

The tiny microinjuries caused by the Opus Plasma device stimulate natural healing responses that smooth out rough texture, along with enlarged pores, all without damaging surrounding tissue.

4. Improving elasticity and firmness

Rough patches, wrinkles, and discoloration are all visible signs of sun damage, but a lot of UV damage happens in the deeper layers of skin that provide structure.

By promoting collagen and elastin development during healing, Opus Plasma helps rebuild those networks, not only smoothing away wrinkles but improving skin’s firmness, too. Over time, multiple treatment sessions can provide significant results in areas where sagging skin is especially visible, like in your cheeks and around your jawline.

5. Supporting long-term skin health

Opus Plasma works with your body’s “built-in” healing processes, helping skin heal itself naturally over time. By encouraging rapid skin cell turnover and promoting collagen and elastin development inside your skin, Opus Plasma offers long-term results that get better with time and with repeated treatments.

Plus, because it helps skin renew itself naturally, you can combine Opus Plasma with other treatments, including facials and peels, to provide your skin with the individualized support it needs to look its absolute best, year after year.
