If your skin’s been feeling a little tired lately — maybe some uneven texture, fine lines, or lingering scars that just won’t fade — Opus Plasma might be worth a closer look. It’s a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that helps your skin look smoother, firmer, and refreshed.
At Silkey Skin MD, we love Opus because it gives you those “Did you just get back from vacation?” — kind of results without the downtime that usually comes with laser treatments. It’s powered by radiofrequency (RF) energy plus plasma, and that combo helps your skin rebuild collagen and bounce back in a big way.
Opus Plasma is kind of like a smarter, gentler version of a resurfacing laser. It uses tiny bursts of energy and plasma to create micro-channels in your skin, which encourages your body to produce more collagen and elastin—the good stuff that keeps skin firm and smooth.
It’s especially nice because it gives you results similar to traditional laser treatments but without the long recovery or redness that comes with them. You can treat your whole face or just focus on areas that need a little more attention—like the cheeks, around the eyes, or acne scars.
When you come in, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream so you stay comfortable throughout. Once everything’s ready, we’ll glide the Opus handpiece over your skin. You’ll feel a bit of warmth and maybe a light snapping sensation, but most people say it’s totally manageable.
The whole thing usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area we’re treating. Afterward, your skin might be a little pink or feel warm—kind of like a mild sunburn. You can go about your day as usual, and most people feel totally normal again within 24 to 48 hours.
This treatment is super versatile. We often recommend it for:
Opus Plasma is a good option if your skin just feels like it needs a little boost—whether you're dealing with early signs of aging or just want a more polished, glowy look.
Opus Plasma is not just for your face. We commonly use it on:

If you’re in your 30s to 60s, have mild to moderate skin concerns, and aren’t ready for something invasive, this could be a great fit. We see a lot of patients who:
The best way to know is to come in for a consultation. We’ll examine your skin and discuss what’s best for your goals.
After your treatment, your skin might be pink or feel a bit warm for a day or two, but you’re not going to need to take time off work or cancel your plans.
You’ll want to stay hydrated, wear SPF, and keep your skincare simple and gentle for a few days. Some light flaking is totally normal, especially if you’ve had a deeper treatment—but it’s nothing like the big peels or downtime you may have seen with older laser options.
You get real results—smoother skin, fewer fine lines, better tone—without having to hide out for a week while your face heals. It’s fast, it’s customizable, and it works on a bunch of different concerns at once.
People notice their skin looking brighter and more even within the first week, and the results just keep getting better over the next couple of months as your skin rebuilds itself. Some folks even say it gives them that “filter” look in real life. Results can last for several months to a year, and you can always come in for a touch-up or maintain your results with occasional treatments.
We know how hard it can be to find that sweet spot between natural results and advanced technology—and we’re here to help you navigate that. At Silkey Skin MD, you’re not just another appointment slot. We take time to understand your skin, your goals, and your comfort level.
Our providers are trained in using Opus Plasma safely and effectively, and we’ll always make sure you’re getting a treatment that makes sense for your skin—not just what’s trending. It’s our job to help you look like you—just a little more refreshed, a little more confident. Call us at (801) 882-2200 to schedule your consultation or just ask a few questions. No pressure—just real, honest answers about what’s possible for your skin.
Opus Plasma gives you many of the same benefits as CO₂ lasers—like smoother skin and fewer wrinkles—but with way less downtime. Instead of using pure light energy, it combines radiofrequency and plasma, which creates controlled micro-injuries to jumpstart collagen without damaging the surface of your skin as aggressively. That means you get great results with less redness, less peeling, and a faster recovery.
Most people find the treatment very tolerable. We apply a strong numbing cream beforehand, so you’ll mostly just feel some warmth and a little tingling. Afterward, your skin might feel like you’ve had a mild sunburn, but that usually fades in a day or two. If you’ve had laser treatments in the past, you’ll probably find Opus to be much more comfortable.
You’ll likely see improvement after just one session, but for the best and longest-lasting results, most people do a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll talk about your goals and help figure out a schedule that makes sense for your skin.
Yes. One of the big advantages of Opus Plasma is that it’s safe for a wide range of skin tones. Because it doesn’t rely on light energy like traditional lasers, there’s less risk of hyperpigmentation—which makes it a solid option for people with medium to deeper skin tones. Of course, we’ll always assess your skin type first and make sure it’s the right fit.
Most people enjoy their results for six months to a year, depending on their skincare routine and how their skin responds. Your body continues to produce collagen after each treatment, so improvements build over time. We often recommend yearly maintenance sessions to keep your results fresh.
After your session, you’ll want to skip harsh skincare products, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for a few days. Stick with gentle cleansers, hydrating moisturizers, and sunscreen. If your skin peels a little, just let it happen naturally—don’t pick or scrub.
