Fractional Plasma Resurfacing · Brentwood, Los Angeles
Opus Plasma
Plasma resurfacing, three precision tips.
What Is Opus Plasma?
Opus is Alma's fractional plasma technology. Metal pins charged with radiofrequency interact with the air to create plasma energy, which resurfaces the skin through controlled micro-channels and delivers RF heat at the same time. The result: texture, fine lines, sun damage and laxity improvement that approaches ablative-laser results, with a recovery measured in days, not weeks — and adjustable intensity, so the same machine can do a weekend-friendly refresh or a deeper transformation.
Three Tips, Three Specialties
The same Opus platform powers three distinct handpieces — each one engineered for a different concern and zone of the face or body.
The Glide Tip — Full-Face & Body Resurfacing
The Glide Tip sweeps across larger areas (full face, neck, chest, hands) in smooth passes, treating texture, fine lines, sun damage and overall skin quality. This is the signature Opus Plasma treatment — $1,500.
The Focus Tip — Precision Where You Need It
The Focus Tip concentrates plasma energy on specific concerns: deeper lines around the mouth, acne scars, individual rough patches. Often combined with the Glide Tip in a single session for an all-over result with extra attention where skin needs it most. Used in our Opus Focus Eyes treatment ($475).
The Colibri Tip — Advanced Eye Rejuvenation
Named for the hummingbird, the Colibri Tip is engineered for the most delicate zone on the face. Our Opus Colibri Eyes treatment ($900) combines precision plasma with RF energy to lift and renew the under-eye and crow's feet — one of the only non-surgical options that genuinely treats the eye area itself.
What Does an Opus Session Feel Like?
Numbing cream first, then the treatment: 15–45 minutes depending on the area, with a sensation of heat and light prickling. Expect redness for 1–3 days and fine micro-crusting that resolves within about a week for full-intensity treatments; lighter settings and eye treatments recover faster. Results build over 4–12 weeks as collagen remodels. Many concerns are treated in a single session; deeper texture and scarring may merit a series.

Opus Plasma vs. CO2 Laser
CO2 is the traditional gold standard for resurfacing but comes with 1–2 weeks of downtime and higher risk on darker skin tones. Opus delivers a substantial share of those results with days of recovery instead of weeks, adjustable intensity, and broader skin-type safety. For clients who need maximum resurfacing and can take the downtime, we'll say so honestly — Beauty Ranch carries multiple resurfacing technologies (see Pixel and Ultra), so the recommendation fits your skin and your calendar.
Why Beauty Ranch
Located in Brentwood at 140 S Barrington Place, Los Angeles 90049 — minutes from Santa Monica, Westwood, Pacific Palisades and Bel Air. Founded by celebrity skincare expert Nurse Jamie, with more lasers and energy devices under one roof than any other facility in Los Angeles.
Opus Plasma vs. Plasma Pen (Fibroblast)
If you've been researching plasma pen or fibroblast treatments, Opus is the medical-grade version of the same idea. Plasma pens are handheld devices that create tiny burns one dot at a time — results vary widely, sessions are slow, and in inexperienced hands they can scar or leave pigmentation, especially on deeper skin tones. Opus delivers plasma energy fractionally with radiofrequency, calibrated by treatment area, performed by Nurse Jamie's medical team — more controlled, more comfortable, and built for consistent results. If you were considering a plasma pen for skin tightening or a plasma facial, book a consultation and compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Opus Plasma cost in Los Angeles?
At Beauty Ranch in Brentwood: $1,500 for a full Opus Plasma treatment with the Glide Tip, $475 for Opus Focus Eyes, and $900 for Opus Colibri Eyes, our most advanced eye rejuvenation.
What is the downtime after Opus Plasma?
Typically 1–3 days of redness with fine micro-crusting resolving within about a week for full treatments. Lighter settings and eye treatments recover faster.
Does Opus Plasma work under the eyes?
Yes — that's what the Colibri Tip was built for. Opus Colibri Eyes combines precision plasma with RF to treat under-eye crepiness and crow's feet, an area most devices can't safely reach.
Opus Plasma vs CO2 laser — which is better?
CO2 goes deeper but costs 1–2 weeks of downtime. Opus achieves much of the result with days of recovery and adjustable intensity. Your consultation will match the tool to your goals.
How many Opus sessions do I need?
Many clients see meaningful improvement in one session; deeper texture, scarring, or eye-area concerns may merit a series of 2–3.
Is Opus Plasma painful?
With numbing cream, most clients describe heat and prickling rather than pain. The eye treatments are brief and well tolerated.
Is Opus Plasma the same as a plasma pen?
No. Both use plasma energy, but Opus is a medical-grade fractional system combining plasma with radiofrequency, performed by our medical team — far more controlled than handheld plasma pens, with predictable results and downtime.
