Understanding Dermabrasion: Advanced Skin Resurfacing Technique

Dermabrasion is a specialized non-surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of localized fine or deep wrinkles, typically targeting areas around the mouth and between the eyebrows. This treatment is particularly beneficial for non-smoking patients in good general health seeking precise facial skin enhancement.

Procedure Technique and Methodology

Dr. Daniel Casso utilizes a precise mechanical burr to carefully remove the outer layers of skin. The technique involves meticulous depth control and peripheral feathering to minimize color demarcation between treated and untreated areas.

Ideal Candidates for Dermabrasion

• Fair or moderately fair-complected patients
• Non-smokers in good general health
• Individuals with localized skin imperfections

Treatment Considerations and Outcomes

Patients should be aware of potential pigmentary changes, which are most pronounced in patients with olive or darker skin tones. Fair-skinned patients might experience hypopigmentation, requiring careful peripheral treatment to avoid visible color variations.

Anesthesia and Surgical Environment

Dr. Casso performs dermabrasion under general anesthesia at Houston Methodist St. John Hospital. This approach ensures patient comfort, expert nursing care, and immediate medical support if required.

Complementary Procedures

Dermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures. Dr. Casso frequently combines perioral dermabrasion with facelift surgery and can address deep vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Post-procedure treatment involves liberal application of lubricating ointment and careful maintenance. Healing typically occurs within seven to ten days, with redness potentially lasting one to six months. Patients can resume hypoallergenic makeup application once healing is complete.
