Facial Rejuvenation & Dermabrasion

Several layers of skin can be exfoliated without chemicals or heat using dermabrasion. The process stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells, buffing fine lines and wrinkles from your skin. The effects of dermabrasion can be dramatic and can go so far as to remove dangerous, pre-cancerous growths. Dermabrasion is a popular alternative to skin peels for people with darker skin tones because of the reduced risk of discoloration.

Benefits of Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion rejuvenates and refreshes your skin without surgery. It actually stimulates your body’s natural renewal process so that your skin is refreshed from the inside out. Dermabrasion can remove or reduce:

Collagen production is stimulated, restoring your skins youthful plump and elasticity.

How it Works

Utah Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Haupt uses a high speed, rotating brush to whisk away the top layer of dead, dull skin, revealing the healthy fresh skin cells beneath. Your body will be stimulated to produce new, healthy skin cells, and collagen.

After dermabrasion you will have to stay out of the sun and tanning beds until your skin is fully healed and all pigment has returned. Dermabrasion is less likely to produce discoloration than a skin peel in people with dark skin tones, but after evaluating your skin, Dr. Haupt may recommend an alternative Skin Care procedure such as one of our facials, if he feels that dermabrasion is not safe for you.

Dermabrasion is not appropriate if you have active acne but can reduce acne scars once the acne itself is resolved.

Microdermabrasion

If you are interested in the results of dermabrasion, but want a milder treatment, microdermabrasion may be right for you. Microdermabrasion is gentler and produces more subtle results with less recovery.

Dermabrasion is an effective stand alone treatment, and can also be to compliment surgical procedures, such as a face lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery. Utah Cosmetic Laser & Aesthetics is a 3-D Cosmetic Practice, offering a full range of surgical procedures when non-invasive procedures alone are not enough to produce the results you desire.
