Opus Plasma Skin Resurfacing in San Diego
Opus Plasma is skin resurfacing for people who want serious-laser results without surrendering two weeks to recovery. Instead of drilling columns of laser energy down through the skin, Opus pairs fractional plasma with radiofrequency at the surface — thousands of micro-zones of controlled renewal that trigger fresh collagen while leaving far more skin untouched. The intensity tunes from light-peel gentle to CO2-laser strong, and the downtime stays a fraction of either.
It's built for the things time writes into skin: texture and fine lines, acne scarring, crepey neck and tech-neck lines, sun-worn chest and hands, even stretch marks. Texture and tone improve after a single session, while the deeper tightening builds over about three months as new collagen forms. Most plans run three sessions, four to six weeks apart — and most people are back to normal life by day five, not week three.
Tuned to Your Skin, Not a Preset
The same device runs from light-peel gentle to CO2-laser strong. Your nurse sets the intensity to your skin and your calendar — a weekend of recovery or a deeper rebuild, chosen deliberately.
Days of Downtime, Not Weeks
A sunburn feel for a day or two, light flaking around day three, presentable by day five. Traditional resurfacing asks for two weeks or more for comparable results.
Every Skin Type
With settings adjusted properly, Opus treats all skin tones — including deeper tones that many resurfacing lasers exclude outright.
Face, Neck, Chest & Hands
The plasma tips go where sun damage actually lives — tech-neck lines, crepey chest, weathered hands, even stretch marks — not just the face.
01 — Screening & Plan
Your nurse reviews your skin, your history and your goals — and just as important, your calendar. The depth of your treatment is planned around both your skin and how much recovery time you're willing to spend.
02 — Numbing
Topical numbing goes on and does its work for a while — this is most of your visit, and it's why the treatment itself feels far milder than it has any right to.
03 — The Settings
This is where Opus earns its keep: intensity, depth and coverage are dialed to your skin type and target — one setting for a pre-event refresh, a very different one for acne scarring or a deep rebuild.
04 — The Pass
The handpiece moves across each zone delivering thousands of fractional plasma micro-points — a full face takes about fifteen minutes. Expect heat and a prickling sensation, dulled well down by the numbing.
05 — Calm & Protect
Skin is cooled and finished with barrier-repair care and strict SPF instructions. You'll leave warm and pink, like a day in the sun you didn't plan.
Why Have Opus Plasma at Conjure
Energy-based resurfacing is exactly the kind of treatment that belongs in medical hands. At Conjure it happens in a dedicated medical room, performed by a registered nurse from Satori Medical Aesthetics with physician oversight — settings chosen by someone trained to read skin, not a preset menu. In Hillcrest, with free parking at the door.
And it sits inside a studio built for skin, so there's a right-sized option in both directions: if deep resurfacing is more than your skin needs, our chemical peels handle texture and tone the gentler way — and if zero downtime is the priority, PRX Biorevitalization delivers renewal with nothing to hide afterward.
FAQ
-
You're numbed first, and that's most of the visit. During the pass itself you'll feel heat and a prickling sensation — noticeable, not gruelling — and the full face takes about fifteen minutes. Most people are surprised how quick it is.
-
Here's the real timeline: days one and two feel and look like a sunburn. Around day three, the treated micro-zones flake away — that part you'll want a soft schedule for. By day five most people are presentable and back to everything. A deeper setting stretches that by a day or two; a lighter one shrinks it.
-
Lasers drive columns of heat down through the skin — effective, but the recovery is measured in weeks. Opus creates its renewal zones at the surface using plasma and radiofrequency, leaving far more skin intact, which is why recovery is measured in days. And because the intensity is adjustable, one device covers the range from light refresh to near-CO2 results.
-
The standard plan is three, spaced four to six weeks apart — texture improves after the first, and the collagen-driven tightening builds for about three months. A single lighter session works as a refresh before a big event; your nurse will tell you honestly which your skin calls for.
-
Yes, with the settings adjusted properly — which is precisely why this treatment is performed by a medical professional and not a machine preset. Opus treats all skin types, including deeper tones that many resurfacing lasers rule out entirely.
-
It's skipped during pregnancy, on skin with an active infection or cold-sore flare, after recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use, and with a history of keloid scarring. Retinoids pause the week before, and metal jewelry comes off for the treatment. Your nurse screens all of it before anything is switched on.

GlowTox — The Botox Facial
Botox for your skin, not your muscles — pores, shine and texture, with nothing frozen.
Refine · Smooth · Matte · Glow
Medically reviewed by Dr. James Veltmeyer, MD. Performed by the registered nurses of Satori Medical Aesthetics.
The Botox Facial in San Diego
GlowTox turns Botox's day job inside out. Instead of deeper injections that relax the muscles of expression, micro-doses of Botox are delivered into the skin itself through fine micro-channels — where they quiet the oil and sweat glands instead. Your expressions stay exactly as they are; it's your pores, your shine and your texture that change.
The payoff reads like a filter, except it's your actual skin: tighter-looking pores, a matte, even finish that holds through the day, and a smooth, glassy quality that builds over the following week. Results start showing in three to five days, settle fully within ten, and hold for three to four months — and because no muscle is involved, there is nothing frozen about it.
Your Expressions, Untouched
The Botox sits in the skin, not the muscle. You smile, frown and raise your eyebrows exactly as before — this treatment never touches the machinery of expression.
Pores, Oil & Shine
The three things serums keep promising to fix. By quieting the oil and sweat glands directly, GlowTox delivers the refined, matte finish skincare alone can't reach — and the pore results hold up in clinical research.
A Medical Facial, Not a Spa Facial
This is real botulinum toxin, dosed and administered by a registered nurse with physician oversight. It's the reason you won't find it on an ordinary spa menu — including our own.
Quick, With No Real Downtime
Around half an hour in the chair, a short-lived flush afterward, and back to your day. Hold the makeup until the next morning and you've done your entire recovery.
01 — Screening & Skin Review
Because this is a medical treatment, it starts like one: your nurse reviews your health history and your skin, confirms GlowTox is right for you, and plans the dose.
02 — Cleanse & Prep
Skin is cleansed and prepped completely. Numbing is available if you want it — most people find the treatment easy without it.
03 — The Dose Plan
Your nurse maps the areas doing the most work — the oily T-zone, visible pores on the cheeks and nose, shine-prone zones — and adjusts the micro-dosing to your skin rather than a standard grid.
04 — The Pass
Micro-doses of Botox are delivered across the skin through fine micro-channels, section by section. It's quick — the whole treatment sits around half an hour.
05 — Calm & Protect
A soothing finish, then SPF. You leave a little flushed, like you've had a brisk workout, and it settles within hours. No makeup until the next morning.
06 — The Week After
Nothing dramatic happens on day one — that's normal. The refinement arrives on days three to five, settles fully by day ten, and holds for three to four months. Most clients rebook seasonally.
Why Have GlowTox at Conjure
GlowTox at Conjure happens in a dedicated medical room inside the studio, performed by a registered nurse from Satori Medical Aesthetics with physician oversight. Real Botox, properly dosed, properly screened — with Hillcrest parking at the door instead of a clinic waiting room.
It also lives alongside the skin care that maintains it. Oily and breakout-prone skin pairs GlowTox with our acne facials for the deep-cleaning work between rounds — and if your goal is glow and density more than oil and pores, PRX Biorevitalization is the sibling treatment to read next.
FAQ
-
No — and that's by design, not luck. The Botox never reaches the muscles that move your face; it sits in the skin, working on glands. You'll make every expression you made walking in. If a frozen forehead is what someone's worried about, this is the Botox treatment built to avoid it.
-
Different placement, different job. Regular Botox goes into muscle to soften expression lines — the eleven between the brows, the forehead rows. GlowTox stays in the skin and works on pores, oil and texture instead. They don't compete; plenty of people book both, and your nurse can talk through whether one or the pair fits your goals.
-
It's brisk rather than painful — fine micro-channels moving quickly across each section, closer to a prickle than a poke. Numbing is available if you want it, and the whole pass takes about half an hour.
-
Expect nothing on day one — that's normal. The change arrives on days three to five, is fully settled by around day ten, and holds for three to four months. Most clients rebook once a season to keep the finish continuous.
-
A flush for a few hours, like you've come from a workout. Skip makeup until the next morning, go easy on heavy sweat and direct sun for the first day, and that's the whole recovery.
-
It's skipped during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with neuromuscular conditions such as myasthenia gravis, alongside certain antibiotics, and on skin with an active breakout or infection in the treatment area. Your nurse screens for all of it before anything is dosed — that's what the first ten minutes of your appointment are for.

PRX Biorevitalization
The no-needle biorevitalizer — medical-grade glass skin with zero downtime.
Brighten · Firm · Hydrate · Glow

PRX Biorevitalization in San Diego
PRX is the treatment for people who want injectable-level skin quality without a needle anywhere in the room. A medical-grade blend of 33% TCA, kojic acid and hydrogen peroxide is massaged into the skin until it's fully absorbed — no injections, no peeling, no days of hiding. The hydrogen peroxide is the secret: it tempers the TCA so your skin receives the deep collagen signal of a strong peel while the surface stays calm and intact.
The results build over a series of short sessions: firmer, brighter, more hydrated skin, tighter pores and softened fine lines — the dense, dewy glass-skin finish that made this treatment famous in Europe. It's gentle enough for deeper skin tones that traditional peels put at risk, and it works beyond the face: the neck, décolleté and hands respond beautifully.
No Needles, No Downtime
The collagen stimulus of a medical-grade peel, massaged in by hand. You leave glowing, not peeling — makeup the same day.
A True Medical Formula
33% TCA buffered by hydrogen peroxide, with 5% kojic acid for brightening — prescription-strength chemistry no spa facial can offer, applied by a registered nurse.
Safe for Deeper Skin Tones
The no-peel mechanism sidesteps the pigmentation risk that keeps traditional TCA peels off darker skin — PRX is used confidently across all skin tones.
Face, Neck, Décolleté & Hands
The areas that give age away first respond as well as the face does — and can be treated in the same series.
PRX & PRX Plus Peel
Potent medical strength peels. PRX for lines, wrinkles and texture and PRX Plus to correct pigmentation.
01 — Skin Review
Your nurse starts with your skin, not the product — history, goals, and a close look at what your skin is doing right now, to confirm PRX is the right call and plan your series.
02 — Cleanse & Prep
Skin is cleansed and degreased completely, so the formula meets bare skin and absorbs evenly.
03 — The Application
The PRX formula is massaged in by hand, section by section, in two to five passes until fully absorbed. Expect warmth and a brisk tingle — that's the chemistry working, and it passes quickly.
04 — The Response
Almost immediately the skin begins to firm and tighten as the deeper layers register the signal. No frosting, no burning — the surface stays intact by design.
05 — Calm, Hydrate, Protect
The skin is cleansed, then finished with deep hydration and SPF. You walk out ready for the rest of your day — makeup included, if you want it.
06 — The Series
Most skin gets its best result from a short weekly series — anywhere from one session before a big event to five for a full rebuild. Your nurse sets the plan at the first visit.
Why Have PRX at Conjure
PRX at Conjure happens in a dedicated medical treatment room inside the studio, performed by a registered nurse from Satori Medical Aesthetics with physician oversight — not by an aesthetician reaching past their scope. You get medical-grade chemistry with medical-grade hands, in Hillcrest with free parking at the door.
And because it lives inside Conjure, PRX slots naturally into skin care you may already be doing here. It's the medical cousin of our Korean Glass Skin treatments — many clients run a PRX series for the deep rebuild, then maintain the finish with their regular facials. Your nurse and your esthetician can time the two around each other.
FAQ
-
You'll feel warmth and a brisk tingle during each pass — the chemistry announcing itself — and it fades within moments of application. No numbing is needed, and most people rate it easy. If your skin runs sensitive, tell your nurse and she'll pace the passes accordingly.
-
Anywhere from one to five, spaced about a week apart. A single session delivers a noticeable glow — a favorite move before an event — while a full series builds the firmer, denser result PRX is known for. Your nurse maps the plan to your skin at the first visit, not to a package.
-
That's the point of the formula. You may be a little flushed for a few hours, and occasionally skin sheds a whisper of light flaking a few days later — nothing like a peel, and nothing that keeps you home. Makeup can go on the same day, and SPF is non-negotiable, but that should already be true.
-
Yes — and this is where PRX genuinely stands apart. Traditional TCA peels carry real pigmentation risk on deeper skin tones, which has kept strong peels off the table for many people. Because PRX works without wounding the surface, that risk profile changes, and it's used confidently across all skin tones.
-
Same family of acids, opposite experience. A peel works by controlled surface injury — the results arrive with the shedding. PRX uses a stronger TCA concentration than most peels, but buffered by hydrogen peroxide so it signals the deep layers without taking the surface with it. If your skin goal is best served by an actual peel, that's our own department — see the custom peel, where the blend is built to your skin on the day.
-
PRX is skipped during pregnancy and breastfeeding, on actively irritated or broken-out skin, during a cold-sore flare, and with kojic acid or latex allergies. This is exactly what the skin review at the start of your appointment is for — your nurse confirms you're a fit before anything touches your skin.
