Dermabrasion (Skin Refinishing)

Dermabrasion can help restore evenness to the surface of the skin for patients with an irregular facial skin surface resulting from facial wrinkles, acne scarring or injury. Talk with your surgeon about the many non-surgical options, such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels available to you to help smooth and even eliminate the appearance of fine lines on the face.

The Procedure: A surgeon uses a special instrument that scrapes away the top layers of skin smoothing out the rough areas of skin to leave a smoother more level skin surface.

Microdermabrasion: Particle Skin Resurfacing

This procedure acts to remove the outer layer of skin in a general controlled manner. The procedure when used in a series of treatments, promotes discernible changes in texture, color, and appearance. In conjunction with the BioMedic® process it is effective in treating the following common conditions.
