Featured Image

If you’ve noticed changes in your skin from sun exposure, aging, or other life events, you’re not alone. Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and dull tone can slowly chip away at your confidence. While topical products may offer some benefit, there often comes a point when they’re no longer enough — and that’s when professional skin rejuvenation can make a real difference.

At NoSweat Fort Wayne, board-certified physician and medical director Dr. Philip Rettenmaier, along with our skilled aesthetic team, offers advanced, noninvasive treatments to restore smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin. One of the most popular options is RF skin resurfacing using the Opus Plasma® system, a cutting-edge technology that delivers impressive, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

What Does RF Skin Resurfacing Do?

Opus Plasma RF skin resurfacing uses fractional radiofrequency energy to exfoliate damaged skin cells and stimulate new collagen production. This dual action helps rejuvenate the skin from within, improving tone, texture, and firmness. It’s an ideal option for addressing common concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun damage

  • Mild skin laxity

  • Acne scarring

  • Uneven pigmentation

  • Early signs of aging in the lower face

How Does Opus Plasma Work?

Treatments typically take 30-60 minutes and are well-tolerated by most patients. During the procedure, the Opus Plasma handpiece glides over the treatment areas, delivering controlled RF energy to the skin’s surface. This energy gently resurfaces the skin while stimulating collagen remodeling deep beneath the surface.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or tingling, and a topical numbing cream can be used for added comfort. After treatment, it’s normal to experience redness, slight swelling, and mild peeling — similar to a light sunburn.

What to Expect After Treatment

Your skin will need a little extra care as it heals. Following your provider’s post-treatment guidelines is essential for supporting recovery and achieving the best possible outcome. We typically recommend:

  • Using gentle skincare products to keep the skin hydrated

  • Avoiding direct sun exposure and always wearing sunscreen

  • Not picking, scratching, or exfoliating the treated area

  • Holding off on shaving or hair removal treatments

  • Skipping harsh serums, acids, and retinoids for a few days

Our team will guide you through the healing process and suggest professional-grade products to calm and protect your skin. Most patients see visible improvement within days, with results continuing to improve as collagen rebuilds in the weeks that follow.
