Who Is a Good Candidate for Opus® RF Skin Resurfacing?

When topical treatments stop keeping up with visible signs of aging, many people start looking into RF skin resurfacing as the next step. Opus treatment is designed for patients dealing with early- to moderate-stage concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin texture, and mild skin laxity that hasn't responded to creams or serums. 

 At Allure Medical Spa, Lynn Perlenfein, PA-C, can evaluate whether Opus treatment in Gillette, WY aligns with your goals. Schedule a consultation with our team to find out if you're a candidate for skin rejuvenation with Opus. 

What is Opus? 

First, many of our patients want to know: What is Opus? It's a radiofrequency skin resurfacing device that uses RF energy to renew skin from the inside out. During treatment, controlled energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the production of natural collagen and elastin. As new collagen builds over the following weeks, skin tends to look smoother, tighter, and more even-toned. Because Opus treatment works with your own healing process, results develop gradually and look natural. 

Who can benefit from RF skin resurfacing? 

RF skin resurfacing works well for a range of skin concerns, though it isn't the right fit for everyone. Lynn typically recommends Opus treatment for patients dealing with:  

• Fine lines and wrinkles: Early to moderate lines around the eyes, forehead, or mouth that make you look older than you feel. 
• Age spots: Sun-induced or age-related discoloration that creams and serums haven't been able to fade on their own. 
• Uneven texture: Rough or bumpy skin texture caused by sun damage, acne scarring, or the natural aging process. 
• Enlarged pores: Visible pores that have become more noticeable over time, often alongside other early signs of aging. 
• Mild to moderate skin laxity: Slight looseness or sagging that hasn't reached the point of needing a surgical lift. 
• Sun damage: Years of sun exposure that show up as texture changes, discoloration, or a duller overall complexion. 

During a consultation, Lynn will examine your skin closely and talk through your goals to confirm whether Opus treatment is the right approach or whether another option might serve you better. 

What to expect from the treatment process 

An Opus treatment session typically takes less than an hour, depending on the size of the area being addressed. Before starting, Lynn applies a topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable throughout the session. The device is then passed over the treatment area, delivering RF energy through tiny pins that create a controlled, fractional injury pattern in the skin. 

Most patients need a series of 3 – 4 sessions spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart to reach their desired results. Downtime is minimal, with redness and mild swelling typically resolving within a few days. Optimal results continue to build for several months after the last session as skin rejuvenation progresses.
