Opus Plasma Skin Resurfacing
in Boise Idaho
Advanced Fractional Plasma Technology for Skin Rejuvenation
At Alora Boise MedSpa, we offer Opus Plasma skin resurfacing – an innovative fractional plasma treatment that addresses wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture concerns with less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing. Serving patients throughout Boise, we combine proven plasma technology with personalized care to help you achieve healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Understanding Opus Plasma Technology
Opus Plasma represents a unique approach to skin resurfacing that differs significantly from traditional laser treatments. This innovative system generates plasma energy using radiofrequency technology delivered through precision metal pins positioned just above your skin’s surface.
The treatment creates controlled micro-zones of thermal injury that activate your skin’s natural repair mechanisms and stimulate fresh collagen development. What makes Opus distinct is its use of plasma energy rather than light-based systems, allowing for precise treatment with reduced risk of complications while maintaining surrounding healthy tissue to support faster healing.
The Science Behind Opus Treatment
The Opus device operates by generating radiofrequency energy that creates plasma when it interacts with atmospheric gases. This plasma formation produces controlled thermal zones in your skin that:
- Cause immediate collagen fiber contraction for visible tightening
- Activate cellular renewal processes throughout the treatment area
- Encourage long-term collagen and elastin synthesis over several months
- Remove damaged surface layers while protecting healthy surrounding tissue
This fractional methodology treats only selected portions of your skin during each session, preserving untreated areas that accelerate the healing process and minimize recovery time compared to full-surface treatments.

What to Expect
During Your Opus Treatment
1
Before Your Treatment
We’ll begin with a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin concerns and determine if Opus is right for you. You’ll receive detailed pre-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding certain skincare products and sun exposure.
2
During Your Session
- We apply topical numbing cream about 30 minutes before treatment
- The Opus treatment itself typically takes 15-30 minutes for the face
- Most patients describe the sensation as tiny pinpricks followed by warmth
- You may hear small popping sounds as the plasma energy is delivered

Immediately After
Your skin will appear red and may feel warm, similar to a moderate sunburn. Small dark spots (micro-crusts) may appear where the plasma energy was applied – this is normal and expected.
Realistic Recovery Timeline
After Opus Treatment in Boise, Idaho.
Understanding the healing process helps you prepare properly for your Opus treatment:
First 24-48 Hours:
Your skin will display redness and may feel warm, comparable to mild sunburn. Small dark pinpoint marks (microcrusts) appear where plasma energy was applied – this is your skin's normal healing response.
Days 3-5:
Initial redness typically fades within the first few days for lighter treatments. More intensive sessions may result in several days of visible redness and natural skin peeling. Resist the urge to pick at any flaking areas.
Week 1:
Most visible healing completes during this period. Your skin may still appear slightly pink, but it should feel comfortable.
Weeks 2-4:
You'll begin noticing initial improvements as any remaining swelling resolves completely.
Days 3-5:
Progressive enhancement continues as your body produces new collagen, and your skin texture continues refining.
Planning Your Social Schedule:
Most patients plan for approximately 5 days away from important social or professional events, though individual healing varies based on treatment intensity and personal healing factors.
Combining Opus
with Other Treatments
Opus works well as part of a comprehensive skincare approach. We may recommend combining it with:
Chemical peels for additional exfoliation
Professional skincare products for maintenance
Investment in Your Skin
The cost of Opus Plasma varies based on treatment area size and the number of sessions recommended. During your consultation, we’ll provide transparent pricing and discuss payment options to make your treatment accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Opus Plasma
Is Opus Right for You?
Ideal candidates for Opus Plasma treatments typically:
- Have mild to moderate signs of aging or scarring
- Want effective results without extensive downtime
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery
- Can commit to proper sun protection during healing
- Are not currently pregnant or nursing
How painful is the Opus treatment?
Most patients tolerate Opus well with a topical numbing cream. The sensation is often described as tiny pinpricks followed by warmth.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
You should avoid makeup for the first 24-48 hours or until any open areas have healed. We’ll provide specific guidelines based on your treatment.
When can I return to normal activities?
Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days, depending on treatment intensity and their comfort level with residual redness.
Is Opus safe for all skin types?
Opus can be safely used on most skin types, but a thorough consultation is necessary to determine if you’re a good candidate.
How does Opus compare to microneedling?
While both stimulate collagen production, Opus provides more dramatic resurfacing results with controlled plasma energy, whereas microneedling creates less surface change.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
Most patients see improvements after their first Opus Plasma treatment. However, for optimal results, you will likely need about 2-3 treatments spaced a month apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific skin concerns and goals.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results after Opus Plasma treatment can last a year or more. Most people benefit from a maintenance session each year to keep their skin firm and glowing. The longevity of your results depends on factors like your age, skin condition, sun exposure, and overall skincare routine.
Whether you’re here for cutting-edge skin treatments or a fresh salon look, Alora Boise offers the expertise and experience to help you look and feel your absolute best.
