DERMABRASION in Beverly Hills, Long Beach California by Dr. Chugay Dermabrasion, Dermabrasion specialist in Beverly Hills, Long Beach California
For certain types of scars and pits, Dermabrasion, which uses a tool to "sand" the surface of the skin, is the ideal solution. Dr. Chugay will discuss your condition to see if and what type of Chemical Peel or Dermabrasion is right for you.
Dermabrasion can enhance your appearance if your complexion is affected by sun damage, aging, wrinkles, acne scarring, or other types of scars. A yellowish or sallow gray color of the skin caused by ultraviolet damage can be restored to a more youthful-appearing fair complexion with a "rosy glow." Wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and cheeks are often removed or dramatically improved. Sun induced brown "liver spots," and discolorations caused by "picking" acne, can be virtually cleared with this procedure. Scars causing elevations and depressions ("hills and valleys") in the skin - i.e., chicken pox scars -- can be improved with resurfacing.
Moderate and more severe scars benefit most from combining scar revision techniques with resurfacing. Similarly, very lax skin - even with the tightening achievable with resurfacing - may benefit from combining a FACELIFT with the procedure. Dr. Chugay will discuss this further if it applies to you.
Both laser resurfacing and Dermabrasion remove damaged upper layers of the skin. Lower layers of the skin are stimulated to produce new collagen and a fresh surface for your complexion. Wrinkles, scars, blemishes, and pre-skin cancers, may be removed or greatly reduced.
Dermabrasion in experienced hands is likely to be equally effective as laser techniques for most areas of the face. Dermabrasion uses a high speed rotating sanding wheel or brush to peel away the skin. Both resurfacing instruments stimulate new, healthier appearing skin to replace and smooth sun damaged, wrinkled, discolored, or scarred areas.
