Los Angeles Perioral Dermabrasion

before & after main menu

Our Los Angeles Perioral Dermabrasion helps"refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping, giving the skin a smoother appearance.

Dermabrasion is most often used to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. Dermabrasion can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as facelift or chemical peel.

Typical Recovery Time: Your new skin will be a bit swollen, sensitive, and bright pink for several weeks. You can slowly resume most of your usual activites during this time and can expect to be back at work in about two weeks. More active sports-especially ball sports or those where you may get hit in the face should be avoided for four to six weeks. Swimmers need to stick to indoor venues to avoid sun and wind, and keep their face out of chlorinated water for at least a month. The most important thing to remember after dermabrasion is to protect your skin from the sun.
