Understanding Dermabrasion Treatments

Dermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to deeply exfoliate the skin's top layers, revealing healthier, more vibrant skin underneath. At Runnels & North Outpatient Plastic Surgery Center, this advanced treatment helps patients address various skin concerns with precision and expertise.

Key Benefits of Dermabrasion

• Smooths skin texture
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Ideal Candidates for Dermabrasion in Flowood

Dermabrasion is recommended for patients experiencing specific skin challenges, including:

• Acne scars

Procedure Overview

The dermabrasion procedure involves using a specialized instrument with an abrasive wheel to gently remove outer skin layers. A topical anesthetic ensures patient comfort, with the entire treatment typically lasting between one to one-and-a-half hours.
