Dermabrasion Thousand Oaks

How Will Dermabrasion Rejuvenate My Complexion?

Dermabrasion is a highly effective skin resurfacing technique that uses a specialized instrument to exfoliate the outermost skin layers. This type of mechanical skin resurfacing can produce more transformative results than a chemical peel, as it can also deliver more targeted exfoliation to specific concerns. The dermabrasion device removes damaged and inactive skin cells and triggers natural skin repair processes, once healed, the result is a smoother and more radiant complexion.

The Benefits of Dermabrasion: Who Is a Good Candidate?

A consultation is needed to confirm individual compatibility, however, those with darker skin tones, active skin infections, or those currently using or who have used isotretinoin (Accutane®) in the last 12 months may need to delay or seek an alternate treatment. Adults with a fair complexion, who are free of the foregoing concerns are the ideal candidates to leverage the following treatment benefits of dermabrasion skin resurfacing:

Smooth and Even Skin Texture: Dermabrasion effectively smooths the surface of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. This treatment can make your skin look and feel remarkably smoother.

Reduced Appearance of Scars: The exfoliation process encourages the growth of new skin cells, helping to fade scars and improve your skin’s overall appearance.

Brighter Complexion: By removing the dull, outer layers of skin, dermabrasion reduces or can even eliminate hyperpigmentation and sunspots, giving your complexion a more even and radiant tone.

Enhanced Product Absorption: Post-dermabrasion, your skin becomes more receptive to skincare products. This means that your favorite serums and moisturizers can penetrate deeper and work more effectively, enhancing your skincare routine.
