Opus Plasma vs. Microneedling: How Do They Compare?

Are you interested in treatments that could breathe new life into your complexion? You might be thinking about undergoing microneedling, which is popular in the beauty community as a way to boost collagen production and reduce signs of aging. But did you know that there might be an even better treatment available? This blog post discusses innovative Opus Plasma technology and provides a realistic overview of how it compares to microneedling.

How Do They Work?

Both Opus Plasma and microneedling are skin resurfacing treatments. However, they work in very different ways.

  • Microneedling uses tiny needles to cause small, controlled injuries to the skin. Those tiny injuries kick-start your body’s healing response, which leads to enhanced collagen production and a reduction in the appearance of many signs of aging.
  • Opus Plasma combines radiofrequency energy with superheated gas (known as plasma) to cause very minor, targeted damage to the skin. In turn, this prompts the body to heal itself and results in an improved complexion. Unlike some similar treatments, Opus Plasma is safe and effective for use on all skin tones and types.

Both treatments can be used to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, age spots, sagging skin, and more.

Which One Is Better?

Either microneedling or Opus Plasma could help you achieve beautiful results. However, Opus Plasma offers some noteworthy advantages:

  • Opus Plasma is very targeted, meaning that it is great for treating small and delicate areas like the undereye. Microneedling is less precise.
  • Often, Opus Plasma is able to achieve greater results in fewer sessions.
  • Both options can cause some minor post-treatment swelling and discomfort. However, Opus Plasma comes with a shorter downtime and a lower overall risk of pain and discomfort.
  • The results of Opus Plasma may last for up to a year or longer, whereas microneedling may last anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. (The results of both treatments are dependent on many factors, including genetics, skincare, sun exposure, and more.)
  • The long-lasting results of Opus Plasma may make it a better monetary value than microneedling.
