Dermabrasion in Oklahoma City
Dermabrasion is a skin resurfacing technique that treats many signs of skin aging. Dermabrasion treats wrinkles and sun damage, and corrects skin tone and texture.
In Oklahoma City, Dr. Nuveen performs dermabrasion for patients who want a significant improvement in the appearance and texture of their skin.
Is Dermabrasion Right For Me?
There are many mild skin-rejuvenating treatments available for improving the skin. These mild treatments include microdermabrasion, facials, and mild chemical peels. If you have tried these treatments and are seeking a more thorough treatment, dermabrasion may be the right procedure.
Dermabrasion treatments are more aggressive than microdermabrasion, but also lead to more significant results. Dermabrasion is similar to a deep chemical peel. There is a recovery time associated with the procedure, but the results are significant and long-lasting.
Dr. Nuveen may recommend dermabrasion to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars from surgery
- Acne scars
- Sun damage and signs of photo aging
Dermabrasion resurfaces the outermost layers of your skin. As your skin heals, it will produce more collagen, allowing fresh skin to emerge and extending the results of treatment.
FAQ
How does dermabrasion work?
Before your dermabrasion treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to this skin. A special tool is used to remove the top layers of your skin. This injures the skin, and causes it to bleed or bruise. When your skin heals from the dermabrasion, there can be significant improvement to the tone and texture of your skin.
How long is recovery after dermabrasion?
After dermabrasion, you will want to rest and recover at home. After the initial healing, you can use makeup to hide the effects of your treatment. Depending on the extent of your treatment – whether it's a spot treatment or full facial resurfacing – it may takea few weeks for the skin to completely heal.
What are the results of dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion can provide correction of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Dermabrasion also increases your skin’s own collagen production, providing a long-term improvement in your skin texture.
Can dermabrasion be combined with other treatments?
Dermabrasion techniques can be combined with other face and skin-rejuvenating procedures. Dermabrasion can be part of a treatment series along with laser treatments and chemical peels.
