Why do I have rough patches of skin?

Uneven skin texture can result from a variety of factors, many of which are a natural part of aging or the result of environmental exposure. Over time, the skin loses collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining smooth, firm skin. This loss can lead to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Additionally, sun exposure can cause significant damage to the skin, leading to rough patches, discoloration, and an overall uneven texture. Other factors, such as acne and the scars it leaves behind, enlarged pores, and even certain skin conditions like eczema, can contribute to an irregular skin surface.

Does RF resurfacing improve skin texture?

Opus RF skin resurfacing is a highly effective treatment for improving a wide range of skin texture issues. This procedure uses fractional radiofrequency (RF) technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body's natural healing response. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, leading to a smoother, firmer, and more even skin texture. The treatment is versatile enough to address various concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to deeper scars and pigmentation issues.

What are the reasons to get RF skin resurfacing?

Opus RF skin resurfacing can be beneficial for patients with a variety of frustrating skin concerns that haven't responded to at-home skin treatments or over-the-counter products. Some of the specific skin flaws that can be effectively addressed with RF skin resurfacing include:

• Scaly skin
• Rough skin patches
• Uneven skin texture
• Acne scarring
• Dry skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Crepey skin

What should I expect during RF skin resurfacing treatments?

When you choose Opus RF skin resurfacing at our state-of-the-art aesthetic office, you can expect a comfortable and efficient treatment process. During your consultation, Dr. Jenn or one of our knowledgeable aesthetic providers will assess your skin and discuss your specific concerns and goals. The procedure itself is typically quick, often taking less than an hour, depending on the area being treated.

Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, tingling feeling that is well-tolerated with the help of a topical anesthetic. After the treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, but these effects usually subside within a few days. It's essential to follow Dr. Jenn's post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best results possible and a smooth recovery. Based on your response to treatment, we will work closely with you to recommend a schedule for routine maintenance treatments to help keep your skin consistently smoother for longer.
