Dermabrasion
(Skin Refinishing)
Dermabrasion can help restore evenness to the surface of the skin for patients with an irregular facial skin surface resulting from facial wrinkles, acne scarring or injury. Talk with your surgeon about the many non-surgical options, such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels, available to you to help smooth and even eliminate the appearance of fine lines on the face.
The Procedure:
A surgeon uses a special instrument that gently scrapes away the top layers of skin, smoothing out rough areas to leave a more level skin surface.
Microdermabrasion: Particle Skin Resurfacing
Microdermabrasion is an FDA-approved procedure that is achieved by using a highly controlled spray of fine aluminum oxide crystals under pressure in vacuum. This procedure acts to remove the outer layer of skin in a controlled manner. The procedure, when used in a series of treatments, promotes discernible changes in texture, color and appearance. In conjunction with the BioMedic® process it is effective in treating the following common conditions:
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Fine wrinkles
- Sun-damaged skin
- Acne-prone skin
- Age spots
- Post-laser hyperpigmentation
