 Who doesn't enjoy soaking up the sun on a beautiful day? Unfortunately, all those UV rays can have long-term effects on your skin's health and appearance. These effects can include dark spots, rough patches, uneven tone, and various signs of aging. 

At Keamy Eye & Laser Centre in Westborough, MA, we often meet with men and women who have struggled for years with tired-looking, sun-damaged skin. Using innovative technology like the Opus Plasma® skin rejuvenation system, Dr. Jean Keamy can address a large variety of complexion concerns, including tone and texture issues caused by sun exposure. Let's delve into how this state-of-the-art technology works and what it can do for your skin. 

How does sun exposure affect your skin's health and appearance? 

Don't get us wrong — a little bit of sunshine can do your skin a lot of good, providing healthy vitamin D and protection from inflammation. Too much ultraviolet (UV) exposure, however, can have detrimental effects on your skin over time. UV rays penetrate the skin, leading to premature aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and a leathery texture. Moreover, sun damage can cause uneven pigmentation, such as sun spots and freckles, making the skin appear older than it is. The underlying damage to the skin's DNA increases the risk of skin cancer, making it imperative to address sun-damaged skin not just for aesthetic reasons but for your overall health. 

How does Opus Plasma work to address sun-damaged skin? 

Opus Plasma skin treatments use fractional plasma technology to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. Unlike traditional laser treatments, Opus Plasma offers precision and control, allowing for a customized treatment that can precisely target sun-damaged areas. The energy delivered by the Opus Plasma system encourages the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that help restore the skin's youthful structure and appearance. 

What are the benefits of Opus Plasma skin resurfacing? 

Opus Plasma skin resurfacing represents a major leap forward in skin rejuvenation treatments, offering a number of benefits, including:  

  • Reducing the appearance of sun spots 
  • Improving skin texture and tone 
  • Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Decreasing the look of uneven pigmentation 
  • Customizable treatments tailored to individual skin types and concerns 
  • Minimal downtime, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities 

It's no wonder that Opus Plasma has exploded as a preferred choice among anti-aging treatments. 

How long does it take to see results with plasma skin treatments? 

The good news? Many patients notice a dramatic improvement in the health and appearance of sun-damaged skin after just one Opus Plasma skin resurfacing session. The even better news? Those improvements will continue over the next few weeks and months as your skin continues to recover. For optimal results, Dr. Keamy often recommends a series of treatments at our Westborough, MA office. Each session builds on the last, progressively enhancing your complexion.
