Understanding Dermabrasion: Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Technique

Dermabrasion is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin surface texture by addressing contour irregularities. Performed in a state-licensed, nationally accredited ambulatory surgical facility, this technique effectively improves deep wrinkles, chronic acne scarring, and skin surface imperfections.

Procedure Overview

• Conducted on an outpatient basis
• Uses local anesthetic with intravenous sedation
• Employs a power skin dermabrader or "sanding wheel" device
• Gently removes excess unwanted skin cells

Targeted Treatment Areas

Dermabrasion is particularly effective for correcting skin contour irregularities in facial regions, especially around the cheeks and mouth. The procedure helps minimize the appearance of scarring and creates a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Recovery and Results

Following the procedure, patients experience a "brush-burn" type wound requiring topical care for 5-7 days. As healing progresses, patients can expect an enhanced skin surface and improved aesthetic appearance.

Benefits of Dermabrasion

• Reduces appearance of deep wrinkles
• Minimizes chronic acne scarring
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Enhances self-confidence
• Potentially reduces need for cosmetic camouflage
