What is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing is one of the most effective non-surgical procedures for repairing and renewing the skin. By addressing a wide range of concerns—such as fine lines, wrinkles, texture issues, and uneven tone—resurfacing treatments can dramatically improve skin health and appearance.

Traditional fractional laser resurfacing works by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production for smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

At Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ, we are proud to offer Opus Plasma®, the next generation in fractional skin resurfacing.

  • Visible results: Many patients notice improvements after the first treatment, though 2–3 sessions are typically recommended for optimal results.

Is the Treatment Painful?

Discomfort varies depending on the treatment area and settings used. With the application of a topical anesthetic, most patients find the procedure very tolerable.

Recovery After Opus Plasma®

One of the main benefits of Opus Plasma® is the shortened downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing:

  • Clinical studies show up to 50% less downtime than standard fractional laser treatments.
  • With moderate settings, most patients experience only 24–48 hours of mild redness and swelling.

Why Plasma?

Laser-based resurfacing has been the gold standard for decades, but it often comes with significant downtime. Opus Plasma® offers the same powerful results with far less recovery time.

Using controlled plasma energy, the system precisely limits heat exposure, minimizing inflammation while stimulating skin renewal. The result is smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin—without the extended healing period of traditional methods.
