What is Dermabrasion?

The dermabrasion procedure is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment our Florida-based dermatologists perform for a multitude of reasons. Dermabrasion uses gentle exfoliation techniques to allow our patients to treat their unwanted acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles without the cutting, scarring, and anesthesia associated with traditional plastic surgery procedures. Like microdermabrasion, dermabrasion uses a handheld device to rejuvenate the skin and reduce imperfections. However, dermabrasion treatments at our Florida dermatology clinic are typically slightly more aggressive. While many patients are pleased with the results of their dermabrasion procedures at our Florida clinics alone, our board-certified dermatology specialists typically recommend patients receive a chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing treatments in addition to their dermabrasion sessions to maximize their desired results.

How Much Does Dermabrasion Cost?

The cost of the dermabrasion procedure or skin resurfacing treatment at Florida’s Suncoast Skin Solutions is going to vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to achieve your desired results. To find out a more accurate cost for your dermabrasion treatment, our dermatology specialists across Florida encourage you to come in for a private consultation with one of our expert staff members.

What are the Benefits of Dermabrasion?

There are many benefits to receiving dermabrasion treatments and skin therapy in Florida at Suncoast Skin Solutions, including:

• Improves the appearance of acne scarring

• Evens out hyperpigmentation and brown spots
• Treats red and thickened skin caused by rosacea
• Can be combined with other cosmetic treatments
• Non-invasive treatment
• No downtime or recovery period

What Can I Expect During my Dermabrasion Treatment?

Your dermabrasion treatments will be performed at your local Suncoast Skin Solutions office by one of our expert board-certified dermatologists. Before your dermabrasion procedure begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a topical anesthetic will be applied along the entire face. This is to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible throughout your treatment. Once numb, the dermabrasion device will be placed onto the skin and will glide along the face. This device provides gentle exfoliation while simultaneously removing the dead skin cells with mild suction. The entire treatment process typically takes less than an hour to complete.

What Can I Expect After my Dermabrasion Treatment?

Because dermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment, there is no downtime or recovery period required for each session. Patients report returning to their normal daily activities, including work, immediately following their dermabrasion treatments. Our dermatology specialists in Florida offer dermabrasion treatments once every four to six weeks to maintain a glowing, bright complexion.
