Chattanooga Dermabrasion
Before & After Photo
Patients who are interested in having wrinkles, scarring, age spots, and sun damage removed are ideal candidates for dermabrasion in Chattanooga. Dermabrasion in Chattanooga also causes the skin to produce new collagen, resulting in a more youthful, firmer appearance which develops in the months following the procedure.
Your Chattanooga dermabrasion specialist will take about 10 minutes to an hour to complete the outpatient procedure. After cleaning the treatment areas, a local anesthetic will be applied. Using a hand piece with either diamond burr or a wire brush, the top layers of your skin will be removed, or abraded.
Your Chattanooga dermabrasion specialist can vary the depth of your treatment to treat shallower or deeper conditions. One small area will be treated at a time, and a dressing or ointment will be applied before moving on to the next treatment area. At about 5 to 8 days following Chattanooga dermabrasion, the scabbing will begin to loosen and flake away. Newly revealed skin will be very pink, but will slowly fade during a period of 6 to 12 weeks.
Some patients, especially those with deep or extensive treatment, may wait 1 to 2 weeks before returning to work, while other patients may resume their normal routines immediately after the procedure. It is essential to protect the new skin with regular use of sunscreen for several months.
Results of Chattanooga dermabrasion are long-lasting, remaining for 10 years or more. Dermabrasion in Chattanooga will range in price from about $1200 for simple procedures to about $3000 for more extensive treatments.
