We now have a new and highly effective option for maintaining a youthful appearance. Patients seeking smooth skin have many choices at The Center, including laser resurfacing, glycolic, amino fruit acid, or Jessner/Efudex peels, and Botox, and now microparticle skin resurfacing. The Dermapeel also fills a need for those patients who are not ready for a laser procedure but desire a polished, glowing skin tone.
This procedure acts to remove the outer layer of dead skin by applying a spray of fine crystal particles in a highly controlled manner to "erase" imperfections and sun damage without pain or sensitivity. It is recommended for improving skin conditions such as age spots and fine wrinkling, pigmentation due to sun exposure, acne, and blackheads.
A glass tube is lightly brushed over the skin, applying the crystals that are sprayed over the surface and vacuumed up again in one movement. At the end of the treatment, the patient rinses their face and an oil-free moisturizer is applied. The whole procedure takes about 30 minutes. The skin looks smoother and softer immediately, without scabbing, crusting, or downtime. Weekly or biweekly treatments are advised, with an average of 6 treatments recommended to achieve optimal results. |
