Can Plasma Skin Tightening Treat Sagging Skin?

Our Team • January 1, 2024

Even with the most dedicated skin care regimen, there will come a point when the skin begins to show signs of aging, damage, and general wear. This often manifests as lines, wrinkles, and sagging or drooping features, which may appear first on the face — though many people struggle with sagging skin on their neck, arms, abdomen, and elsewhere. At Envision Estetique, Sewickley, PA physician and surgical practice owner Dr. Lindsey Lear is committed to helping men and women regain their younger-looking skin and feel more confident about their appearance once again with a variety of skin rejuvenation treatments, including skin tightening with the advanced Opus Plasma® laser skin tightening system. If you’re ready to take charge of the aging process and restore firmer, more youthful features, read on to learn more about Opus Plasma skin tightening.

What Causes the Skin to Start Sagging?

Some of the primary contributors of lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging are:

  • Natural loss of collagen
  • Natural decline of elastin
  • Sun damage
  • Lifestyle factors, including smoking and dietary habits
  • Genetics



For many people, the earliest signs of a natural loss of collagen and elastin begin to appear in their 40s or even 30s, with many patients deciding to turn to professional skin tightening treatments around this time as they notice their topical products no longer keeping the signs of aging at bay. For patients who are specifically hoping to firm and smooth sagging, drooping skin, Dr. Lear may recommend laser skin tightening with Opus.

How Does Opus Tighten Loose Skin?

The revolutionary plasma skin tightening Opus treatment system is nonsurgical and works to create a firmer, smoother, more lifted look by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and encouraging skin remodeling beneath the surface. Over time, this helps to reduce a number of common skin concerns, including:


  • Sagging skin (skin laxity)
  • Drooping features
  • Lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Bat wings
  • Stretch marks

WHERE CAN OPUS PLASMA SKIN TIGHTENING BE USED?

Patients are often surprised to learn that plasma skin tightening with Opus is not just reserved for the face. In fact, Opus skin tightening can be performed almost anywhere on the face or body where patients are frustrated by sagging skin, wrinkles, stretch marks, and other irregularities. Some of the most common treatment areas for Opus Plasma laser skin tightening include:

  • Face
  • Cheeks
  • Jowls
  • Neck
  • Under the chin
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Upper arms
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks


Patients considering laser skin tightening should keep in mind that while Opus Plasma results can be stunning, the treatment is not designed to address pronounced skin laxity, hanging skin folds, and excess skin left behind by extreme weight loss. Patients with these concerns may be better suited to surgical skin removal or tightening. Still, many patients do qualify for Opus skin tightening and can achieve dramatic results that last for years to come. Prior to treatment, Dr. Lear will carefully evaluate your areas of concern, assess your degree of skin laxity, and determine whether you may be an ideal candidate for Opus laser plasma skin tightening.
