We present a new approach to probe the properties of the most massive, ionizing stars with respect to the less massive, non-ionizing stars. The new technique utilizes stellar-wind lines, instead of the previously employed nebular lines. This allows us to probe the timescale of the dust dispersal in a very young obscured starburst from purely stellar diagnostics.
