Deep scars and rough texture don't have to be permanent fixtures on your skin.
Acne scarring, deep wrinkles, and rough texture can feel like they're just part of your skin now, especially if you've already tried gentler treatments without much change. Dermabrasion offers a more thorough approach, and because it's performed under the direct oversight of our board-certified/eligible surgeons, you're getting a level of precision and safety that goes beyond a typical spa treatment.
Dermabrasion is a resurfacing treatment that mechanically removes the outer layers of skin using a specialized rotating instrument. As new skin forms in its place, it typically appears smoother and more even, with reduced appearance of deep scars, wrinkles, and rough texture.
Dermabrasion is a good option for patients with deeper acne scarring, pronounced wrinkles, or rough texture who haven't seen the results they want from lighter resurfacing treatments. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin and concerns to determine whether dermabrasion, or a different resurfacing option, is the right fit for you.
We evaluate your skin type, scarring, and goals to determine the right treatment depth and approach.
We map out the treatment areas and depth suited to your specific concerns.
The procedure typically takes thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the areas treated.
Treated skin will appear raw and pink initially, gradually forming a protective layer as it heals.
A treatment this precise deserves surgical-level oversight.
Dermabrasion is a deeper, more intensive treatment designed for significant scarring or texture concerns, while microdermabrasion is a gentler, surface-level treatment with minimal downtime.
Dermabrasion is typically performed with local anesthesia or numbing to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Most patients need seven to ten days before new skin fully surfaces, with some residual redness lasting for a few additional weeks.
Many patients see significant improvement from a single treatment, though we'll discuss whether additional sessions would benefit your specific concerns during your consultation.
Not all skin tones respond the same way to dermabrasion. During your consultation, we'll evaluate whether this treatment or an alternative is best suited to your skin.
Initial healing takes one to two weeks, but final results continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms.
Yes. Many patients combine dermabrasion with other nonsurgical treatments as part of a broader skincare plan, though timing may need to be staggered to allow proper healing.
We may recommend avoiding certain skincare products or sun exposure in the days leading up to your treatment. Specific pre-treatment instructions will be provided once your plan is finalized.
Proper aftercare includes keeping the treated area clean, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using any recommended ointments or dressings during the initial healing phase. We'll send you home with detailed instructions specific to your treatment.
Yes, though dermabrasion is most commonly used on the face. During your consultation, we can discuss whether it is appropriate for other areas you're concerned about.
