Dermabrasion

Dr. Lehfeldt offers one of the ultimate skin polishing treatments – dermabrasion! If you have skin that is scarred (previous surgery, accidents, acne) or if you have fine wrinkles usually around the mouth area, dermabrasion may be the right treatment for you!

Usually incorporated as part of a treatment plan involving facelift, blepharoplasty, chemical peels, or fractional CO2 laser treatments – dermabrasion can be performed on a small area of skin or the entire face. Dermabrasion “sands down” wrinkles and lines and promotes new collagen synthesis to enhance the overall skin texture and appearance.

Dermabrasion and dermaplaning can smooth scars left by acne, accidents, or previous surgery, as well as fine facial wrinkles, especially those around the mouth.

In dermabrasion, the surgeon scrapes away the top layers of skin using an electrically operated instrument with a rough wire brush or diamond-impregnated burr.

Dermaplaning uses a dermatone to skim off surface layers of skin that surround facial defects.

Several months after your procedure, pigmentation returns and the skin is much smoother than before.

The best candidates for dermabrasion are lighter complexion individuals (usually not an ideal treatment for Asian or darker skin complexions).
