If you're considering Dermabrasion in the San Francisco Bay Area...
Beautiful skin is smooth skin. Yet even the finest complexion has irregularities
that detract from its healthy tone. Dermabrasion helps
to refinish the skin’s top layers through a process of controlled surgical
smoothing of the deeper skin layers. The result is a smoother appearance where
surface irregularities are greatly improved. This section will familiarize
you with the dermabrasion procedure before you contact a Bay Area
cosmetic surgeon. Here you will discover:
- what you can realistically
expect from the dermabrasion procedure
- whether you’re
a candidate for dermabrasion
- the best options and
alternatives available to you
- how the dermabrasion procedure is done
Once you’ve reviewed the benefits and surgery entailed in dermabrasion you’ll want to set up a consultation visit with Dr. Mosser in his office
or in one of his San Francisco plastic surgery locations to discuss your specific
goals. In this relaxed environment, he will be able to explain to you:
- whether or not dermabrasion can benefit you
- the alternatives for
meeting your specific goals
- the step-by-step dermabrasion procedure
that you will undergo
- the outcome you can
reasonably expect along with risks and possible complications of dermabrasion
surgery.
Skin that has been scarred by accidents or by previous surgery can be greatly
improved by dermabrasion. The procedure can also smooth fine facial
wrinkles,
especially those surrounding the mouth. It is also used to remove keratoses,
which are pre-cancerous growths on the skin.
Both of these techniques use surgical instruments to remove the affected skin
layers. An alternative is a chemical peel, which uses a caustic solution. It
tends to be better for treating fine wrinkles. Dermabrasion is
better at treating deeper imperfections such as acne scars and can be performed
on small areas of the skin or on the entire face. They are often done in conjunction
with other cosmetic-surgery procedures such as a face
lift or rhinoplasty. San
Francisco is home to various surgery centers where Dr. Mosser performs
these operations.
While dermabrasion can improve the tone of your skin, it
can’t
remove all scars and flaws. Nor can dermabrasion prevent the effects of aging
on your skin.
Healthy men and women of all ages are suitable for dermabrasion, although
older people tend to heal more slowly. More important is your skin type and coloring.
Dark complexions typically found on blacks and Asians, for example, can become
permanently discolored or botchy after the treatment. People who develop allergic
rashes or other skin reactions may see reactions from the procedure. Furthermore,
freckles may disappear in the treated area. And the procedure will have to be
postponed if you have an active case of acne or a bad sun burn.
