Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a non-surgical treatment that is performed on the face and/or body for smooth, healthy, and youthful-looking skin. The procedure can be used to reduce or eliminate signs of aging include wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet. Dermabrasion is also used to treat acne scars, uneven skin tone, and other conditions. Dr. Howard Sutkin offers dermabrasion at his Medical Spa offices in Los Gatos and San Jose, California. He has helped many patients from Northern California look their best with this safe, quick, and painless procedure.

How does dermabrasion work?

In dermabrasion treatment, a handheld device is moved over the targeted area. This device emits a spray of microcrystals that have a gentle “sandpapering” effect on the skin. The outer layers of dead skin cells are sloughed away to reveal healthy, vibrant skin underneath. The procedure also stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that gives skin its structure and keeps it looking supple and smooth. Thus, the results from dermabrasion will continue to improve in the months after the procedure as additional collagen is produced.

Dermabrasion can be performed in less than an hour and is often referred to as a “lunch hour” treatment. Patients can return to work or their normal activities immediately after the procedure with little to no discomfort.
