What to Avoid Prior to Treatment?

Four days prior to treatment sun exposure should be avoided and use of all topical retinoids and vitamin C products should be discontinued.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Depending on your Morpheus 8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions.

Morpheus 8 Pre-Treatment Instructions

• Fitzpatrick Skin types IV-VI must prep skin 4 weeks pre-treatment with CBD skin brightening serum or Glytone Enhanced Brightening Complex and continue 4 weeks post-treatment.
• Ask your provider if you are unsure which skin type you have.
• Results from Morpheus8 treatment may be seen in a few days but will be most noticeable beginning at 3 weeks, with full results at 3 months post-treatment.
• Morpheus8 is a collagen-building treatment. Results may be optimized by using Alastin Skin Nectar for 2 weeks prior to your treatment to clear old, disorganized collagen and prepare for new collagen formation.
• Hydrate – moisturize skin in the morning and evening, and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to completely hydrate your skin and optimize treatment results.
• If you have a history of Herpes Simplex, please ask us to prescribe an antiviral medication when scheduling. This should be taken the day before, the day of, and a day after your procedure. If you are experiencing an active outbreak in the area to be treated, please reschedule as we will be unable to perform your procedure.
• Topical retinoid therapy should be discontinued 3-4 days prior to treatment. Discontinue any irritating topical agents for 2-3 days prior to treatment.

• The treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned, including topical anesthetics, hairspray, gel, makeup, lotions, deodorants, self-tanning products, and ointments.
• Avoid taking anticoagulants for 10 days before treatment if medical conditions allow. Consult with your physician.
• Arrive for treatment with clean skin. There should be no hair products, deodorant, self-tanners, ointments, lotion, make-up, perfume, powder, or bath/shower oil present on the skin in the area to be treated.
• Due to the body’s inflammatory response to Covid-19 and other viruses, we ask that you postpone your procedure 2 weeks after being symptom-free. This helps minimize post-procedure inflammatory responses your body may experience.

How Does it Work?

Opus Plasma uses high-frequency unipolar radiofrequency energy to create tiny channels in the skin and jumpstart its natural collagen production through a wound-healing response. This technique is similar to microneedling, except that it uses microplasma technology and is the first of its kind. Although laser treatments can produce the same technique, the use of microplasma comes with unparalleled precision when controlling contact with the skin and reducing unwanted inflammation.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

One of the biggest benefits of Opus Plasma is that it can be used on many areas of the face and neck that are often avoided with treatments like microneedling. This means you can treat sensitive areas around the eyes. Opus Plasma offers unparalleled customizability for your treatments, so your specialist can create the ideal treatment plan for you and your skincare goals. We can treat the face, neck, and most body parts.

What Does It Feel Like?

Opus Plasma treatment is tolerable for most patients, especially with the use of a topical anesthetic. This can alleviate most discomfort so that the treatment is well tolerated.

How Long Does It Take?

Although your unique treatment session will depend on your skincare goals and which areas, you’ll have treated, Opus Plasma treatments can take between 15 and 30 minutes. This may also be longer or shorter depending on if you opt for a topical anesthetic or treat multiple areas in the same treatment.

What Can I Expect Afterward?

Because of Opus Plasma’s state-of-the-art technology and approach, patients experience drastically less downtime versus other laser treatments. You can expect about one to two days of redness and swelling with tiny carbon crusts that usually flake off at day4-5.

You can generally return to your regular schedule immediately after treatment. You’ll receive detailed instructions what to do post-treatment that might include skincare products to use or avoid, as well as the importance of using sunscreen in the days following your treatment.

How Many Opus Plasma Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients require a package of treatments for best results, so your specialist will make sure you understand when to return for your next session. We recommend two or three sessions for best results, but you’ll likely see noticeable results after your first treatment.
