Significant weight loss is an incredible achievement, but it often leaves behind loose, sagging skin that can be frustrating, especially on the upper arms. This patient experienced dramatic weight loss with GLP-1 medication and came to us concerned about excess skin on her upper arms that made her feel self-conscious wearing sleeveless clothing. After just one Opus Plasma skin tightening treatment, she achieved remarkable improvement in skin laxity and tone.
Opus Plasma is an advanced fractional plasma technology that tightens and resurfaces skin from the inside out. Unlike traditional laser treatments, Opus Plasma delivers controlled energy to stimulate collagen production and tissue remodeling without aggressive ablation. This makes it ideal for treating delicate areas like the upper arms where skin elasticity has been compromised by weight loss. The result is tighter, smoother, more toned-looking skin with continued improvement over the following 3-6 months as new collagen develops.
Treatment takes about 30-45 minutes per area with minimal downtime; though, some patients may experience redness and mild swelling for 3-5 days. While some patients see significant results after a single treatment, most benefit from 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal tightening, depending on the degree of skin laxity.
