Alma PrimeX and Alma Opus are both radiofrequency (RF) devices offering skin resurfacing and tightening. However, PrimeX is unique in that it also uses ultrasound energy.
Opus is a dedicated RF platform targeted for the face, neck, and décolletage. PrimeX, on the other hand, offers both RF and Ultrasound energy for body contouring and skin tightening from head to toe.
The best platform for you will depend on your clinic’s offerings and patient demand. If you are looking for a device that can treat both the face and body, PrimeX is a good option. If you are primarily interested in treating the face, neck, and décolletage, OpusTM may be a better choice. To find out more get in touch with one of our Sales Business Managers.
Visible results can be seen after just one treatment, with full results expected around 30 days after final treatment. For Resurfacing optimal results can often be seen after a course of 2-3 treatments, while for skin tightening expect a course of 5-6 treatments.
It is the first-of-its-kind Fractional Plasma® technology to enter the skin resurfacing market and is revolutionising treatments with its quick and effective results.
Operating at a the highest frequency on the market (over 40 MHz), the Opus™ Plasma® charges metal pins on the tips of the applicator to a high RF voltage causing a little plasma spark. Similar to how microneedling works, this kickstarts the natural healing process and boosts collagen production through a wound healing response to produce a new skin surface – but with no invasive needles.
Alma’s patented unipolar radiofrequency enables deeper skin penetration and faster, homogenous thermal effects for new collagen stimulation. This modality is as comfortable as a hot stone massage for your patients and tightens the skin with no downtime.
A complete a full-facial treatment takes around 30 minutes.
For resurfacing treatments, downtime is minimal – most cases won’t require downtime, but because the Alma tech means the power settings can be altered to control how powerful the treatment is (how much resurfacing energy is delivered), downtime tends to involve redness for around 2-3 days depending on skin type and treatment area. Planned occasions / events and specific activities – gym, steam/sauna, sports – wouldn’t be advisable. Additionally, makeup should be avoided and SPF 50 is always recommended throughout the treatment course.
For skin tightening (non-resurfacing) treatments, no downtime is required.
