Treatment
Face Doctors Remuera is proud to be the first clinic in Auckland to introduce the Alma Opus, an innovative skin rejuvenation system redefining aesthetic treatments. Led by Dr. Morunga, a respected Key Opinion Leader in New Zealand for Alma Opus technology, this clinic offers unparalleled expertise and care for patients seeking advanced solutions for their skin concerns.
Alma Opus uses cutting-edge fractional plasma technology combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate the skin, addressing signs of aging, sun damage, and other imperfections. This minimally invasive treatment provides natural and long-lasting results with significantly reduced downtime compared to traditional skin resurfacing methods.
Mechanism of Action
Alma Opus works by delivering controlled plasma energy and RF heat into the skin. This creates microthermal zones in the dermis and epidermis, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The energy enhances collagen production and elastin remodeling, leading to smoother, tighter, and more youthful skin.
The Alma Opus, is a ground-breaking device that has redefined skin resurfacing by being the first fractional radiofrequency technology, using Opus microplasma to enter this category. Setting itself apart, the Alma Opus operates at a high frequency of over 40 MHz, producing plasma to deliver unparalleled results, with no needles. It bridges the gap between CO2 laser and RF needling, offering equivalent outcomes without the associated risks.
With customizable treatment times of just 10-15 minutes for full-face skin resurfacing, Alma Opus provides practitioners with a highly efficient and versatile solution.
At the heart of Alma Opus lies Microplasma technology , produced through fractional unipolar radiofrequency (RF). This technology interacts with the skin to generate both ablative and thermal effects, creating controlled micro-injuries in the epidermis and dermis.
These micro-injuries resemble the effects of fractionated CO2 laser, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin firmness, tone, and texture. However, unlike traditional CO2 lasers that were associated with increased downtime and discomfort, Alma Opus ensures faster healing, with reduced downtime and patient discomfort.
Alma Opus is ideal for treating:
1. Fine lines and wrinkles
2. Skin laxity
3. Acne scars
4. Pigmentation irregularities
5. Uneven skin texture
6. Enlarged pores
7. Sun damage
8. Face Contouring
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:
1. Active skin infections or conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea
2. Pacemakers or electronic implants
3. Pregnancy or breastfeeding
4. Recent use of isotretinoin (within six months)
5. Autoimmune or severe chronic illnesses affecting healing
Patients often notice initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a week. Over the following 3–6 months, collagen remodeling delivers ongoing enhancements, including firmer, more radiant skin. For optimal results, a series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended.
With Dr. Morunga at the helm, patients can expect personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs, ensuring the safest and most effective results.
