Dermabrasion

Was an accident or previous surgery left you with face-altering scars? Or as you’ve aged, have fine lines or wrinkles sprung up, especially around your eyes or mouth? Or perhaps you have deep acne scars or keratoses (pre-cancerous growths) marring your face? There is a way to help diminish these annoying scars to give your face the smoother appearance you long for.

Dermabrasion will “refinish” the top layers of your skin and soften sharp edges of surface abnormalities through controlled surgical scraping in order to make your scars and wrinkles less visible.

Depending on the size of the area you have treated, Dermabrasion can take just a few minutes or over an hour. Sometimes, multiple treatments are necessary, specifically when you’re having a large area of skin treated or if your scars are really deep. Once the treatment is complete, however, the results are permanent. Dermabrasion is safe for use with other plastic-surgery or med-spa procedures including face lift or chemical peel. Typically, chemical peel is best for fine-wrinkle treatments while dermabrasion is best for scar or acne treatment. Also, while anyone can benefit from dermabrasion, your skin type, skin coloring or medical history may affect how well it works for you.
