Sagging skin around your jawline or deep nasolabial folds can be frustrating, especially when solutions like over-the-counter creams don't seem to make a difference. You might see fine lines and wrinkles and wonder if there's a way to turn back the clock without surgery. Plasma skin tightening offers a solution by using advanced technology to stimulate natural collagen production, resulting in firmer and smoother-looking skin. 

 At Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates in Ashburn, VA, Dr. Joanna Claustro offers this innovative treatment to help patients achieve a more youthful appearance. Book a consultation to learn how this plasma technology works today. 

What is Opus Plasma? 

So, what is Opus Plasma? Opus Plasma is a cutting-edge device that delivers controlled energy just beneath the surface of the skin. This energy heats the deeper layers, causing controlled micro-injuries that encourage your body to repair and regenerate tissue. As new collagen and elastin form, your skin becomes firmer and more resilient. 

With Opus Plasma, you can address multiple concerns in a single session. Whether you're bothered by fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, loose skin on the neck, or deep nasolabial folds, plasma technology can target these areas effectively. At Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates in Ashburn, VA, Dr. Claustro customizes each treatment to specific needs. 

Areas that benefit from treatment 

Plasma skin tightening is versatile and can be used on various parts of the face and body. Common treatment areas include the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. For patients dealing with sagging skin along the lower face or neck, plasma technology offers noticeable lifting without the need for invasive surgery. 

Your skin tightening session 

During your plasma skin tightening session, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is used for extra comfort. Dr. Claustro then uses the device to deliver controlled energy in a precise pattern across the skin. Sessions typically last 30 – 60 minutes based on your needs. 

After the procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities quickly, making this an ideal option for those with full schedules. 

Results and timeline 

One of the advantages of plasma skin tightening is that results develop gradually. You may notice initial improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over 3 – 6 months. The skin becomes firmer, wrinkles soften, and sagging areas appear lifted and rejuvenated. 

Most patients achieve optimal outcomes with a series of appointments spaced several weeks apart. Dr. Claustro will create a personalized plan based on your skin condition and goals. We also offer information on how to keep your outcomes for as long as possible.
