At LRMD, we’re passionate about bringing the best technology and treatments to our patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. Here, we use Opus Plasma’s advanced energy device to rejuvenate your complexion and restore tighter, brighter skin.

Two Goals, One Advanced Treatment

With Opus Plasma, you don’t have to choose between smoothing and tightening your skin. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer this dual-action treatment to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who want meaningful improvement without committing to separate procedures for resurfacing and tightening.

What Is Opus Plasma?

Opus Plasma combines fractional plasma energy with radiofrequency (RF) technology to resurface your skin while simultaneously heating deeper tissue layers. This dual mechanism addresses texture and firmness together, rather than requiring two separate treatments and more recovery time. Here, patients come to us seeking the following benefits of Opus Plasma:

Combined resurfacing and tightening in one session
Customizable intensity for your specific skin concerns
Improvement in scarring, texture, and laxity
Fewer total appointments compared to layered treatment plans

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Opus Plasma requires precise calibration between two energy types, and our practice has invested specifically in mastering this balance. Our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, personally reviews treatment plans for patients seeking combined resurfacing and tightening, ensuring the device’s plasma and radiofrequency settings are calibrated to your skin's thickness, sensitivity, and goals. Here, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all treatment or a standardized protocol. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience evaluating skin structure and healing patterns, Dr. Rogers brings a thoughtful surgical eye to non-surgical treatments. His perspective shapes how our team approaches every service at both our Beverly Hills and Pasadena locations, delivering laser-based treatments with meticulous precision and strategic area targeting.

What to Expect From Your Opus Plasma Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Calibrating the Energy to Your Skin

Opus Plasma's device settings can be adjusted independently for plasma resurfacing depth and radiofrequency intensity, allowing your aesthetician to prioritize whichever concern is more prominent. Your treatment will be fully tailored to your needs, whether you’re focusing on textural damage or on areas of looser skin, with this dual-action device.

Where Opus Plasma Works Best

Opus Plasma is frequently used to address concerns across several areas of the face, including the following:

Acne scarring on the cheeks and jawline
Fine lines around the mouth and eyes
Loose skin along the jawline and neck
Enlarged pores and uneven texture

Your treatment plan will prioritize the areas where combined resurfacing and tightening will provide the greatest benefit, resulting in a more consistent complexion.

Designed for Your Comfort

After cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing agent to prevent pain, your aesthetician will pass the Opus Plasma device across your treatment area in controlled sections, delivering plasma and radiofrequency energy simultaneously. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment zone and the number of areas treated.

Establishing Your Treatment Schedule

Many patients see meaningful results after a single Opus Plasma session, while patients with more pronounced scarring or laxity concerns benefit more from staged treatments. For those patients, a series of two to three treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart typically produces their desired results.

Balanced Recovery for a Dual-Action Treatment

Because Opus Plasma treats both the surface and deeper skin layers, recovery falls between light resurfacing and more intensive laser treatments. Most patients experience redness, warmth, and mild swelling for up to four days following their treatment.

Small pinpoint marks from the plasma tips typically appear immediately after your session and flake away naturally within one week. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social gatherings within three to five days, though you may choose to wait until all marks have flaked away for your own comfort. You’ll need to limit sun exposure for at least 48 hours to allow your skin to settle and begin to heal.

Schedule a Consultation

Your Post-Treatment Process

Following your Opus Plasma session, our team will walk you through a detailed aftercare plan to protect your results and support your healing. This plan may include the following:

Hygiene and facial cleansing instructions
Sun avoidance and protection requirements
Skincare ingredients to avoid
Guidance on when makeup can safely be reintroduced
Side effects to monitor
Hydration recommendations
Swelling management strategies, if needed

You’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a follow-up visit within a few weeks of your first treatment. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your healing progress and discuss whether additional sessions would enhance your outcome.

Firmer, Smoother Results

The final results of your Opus Plasma treatments will develop gradually over two to three months as your skin rebuilds and collagen production increases across multiple layers of the dermis. Most patients notice improved texture first, followed by firmer, more lifted skin as deeper remodeling progresses, with results typically lasting one to two years.

Opus Plasma Frequently Asked Questions

How does Opus Plasma compare to treatments that address texture or tightening separately?

Opus Plasma improves both skin texture and mild laxity in a single treatment, often reducing the number of appointments needed to achieve your desired results. Many of our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients appreciate the convenience of addressing resurfacing and tightening simultaneously rather than scheduling separate treatments over several months.

Will I see visible marks on my skin immediately after treatment?

Yes. Small pinpoint marks from the plasma tips are a normal part of the healing process and are visible immediately after treatment. These temporary marks typically flake away within about a week as your skin recovers.

Is Opus Plasma suitable for darker skin tones?

Yes. Because Opus Plasma uses plasma and radiofrequency energy rather than light-based technology, it is generally considered safe for a broad range of skin tones. Your aesthetician will customize the treatment settings to your skin type to help minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Can Opus Plasma be used on areas other than the face?

Yes. In addition to the face, Opus Plasma can be used to improve skin texture and mild laxity on areas such as the neck and chest. During your consultation, your aesthetician will discuss your goals and determine whether treatment of non-facial areas is appropriate for you.

How long should I wait between Opus Plasma sessions if I choose a series?

Most Opus Plasma treatments are scheduled six to eight weeks apart. This allows your skin enough time to heal and begin rebuilding collagen before your next session.
