Opus plasma in Seoul — resurfacing for acne scars, pores and fine lines
When smoothness matters, Opus changes the standard of skin texture
Overview
Opus plasma in Seoul changes the standard for skin texture: fractional plasma energy resurfaces the surface while radiofrequency tightens underneath, in one pass. Acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines around the eyes and mouth and inflammatory acne all respond, and the skin feels smoother within days as micro-scabs clear.
At VOS Dermatology in Gangnam, Dr. Hongseok Kim pairs Opus with Mirajet or a skin booster when scars and elasticity overlap. Expect 3–5 days of sun-avoidance and a result that becomes clearer over 2–3 months; outcomes vary by person.

- Those who want elasticity and pore care at once
- Those who want relief from inflammatory acne
- Those bothered by fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Those concerned about acne scars

About Dr. Hongseok Kim
Dr. Kim performs your Opus himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.
Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy ageing — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.
At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
