Understanding Dermabrasion: Advanced Skin Exfoliation Treatment

Dermabrasion is a precise skin rejuvenation technique designed to remove the outermost layer of skin, enabling new, healthy skin to grow in its place. This treatment effectively addresses discolored or damaged skin by carefully exfoliating affected areas and revealing the healthy underlying skin.

Treatment Applications

Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness frequently recommends dermabrasion for patients seeking to:

• Reduce the appearance of facial scars
• Minimize acne scarring
• Improve overall skin texture
• Address skin discoloration

Dermabrasion Procedure Overview

During the treatment, a specialized handheld tool is used to precisely exfoliate targeted skin areas. While patients may experience slight discomfort, most find the procedure tolerable. Following exfoliation, a topical solution is applied to hydrate the skin and support healing.

Recovery and Results

Post-treatment, patients might experience temporary swelling, redness, or skin sensitivity. The treated skin will require protection from sun exposure and potential irritants during the initial healing period. Most patients can resume normal activities within one week, with full results becoming visible after several weeks.

Candidacy for Dermabrasion

Ideal candidates for dermabrasion are individuals seeking to improve skin appearance, particularly those with scarring or uneven skin texture. Renaissance Center offers flexible financing options to make this treatment more accessible.

Treatment Planning

Some patients may require multiple treatment sessions, especially for comprehensive scar reduction. Dr. Contogiannis will develop a personalized treatment plan during the initial consultation, outlining expected outcomes and recommended approach.
