Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion can produce smoother, more attractive skin texture It removes damaged skin, and softens the sharp contours and irregularities caused by wrinkles, scarring, and acne. Dermabrasion can also successfully treat liver (age) spots and some skin lesions. It is also used to remove pre-cancerous growths (keratoses).
How long does it take?
Dermabrasion is a fairly quick procedure. The time that it takes depends on the size and the condition of the area to be treated. Usually, it is completed in 30 - 60 minutes.
About Dermabrasion
If the skin needs severe correction, or there is a large area of skin to be treated, Dr. Wittenberg may decide to perform the dermabrasion in several staged procedures, rather than all at once. What is the long-term outcome for most people? Dermabrasion can produce dramatic results. The outcome depends on the original condition of the skin, skin tone, the depth of wrinkles and other imperfections, and individual healing ability.
Dermabrasion are often used in combination with face lifts. Dermabrasion corrects the surface and texture of the skin, and face lift corrects loose, sagging skin on the face.
Note: patients with fair skin tones generally have better results from dermabrasion than patients with darker skin. If you want to remove or improve facial scars from acne or surgery, you’ll need to discuss the timing of the procedure with Dr. Wittenberg. It may be necessary to wait a month, or even a year before having a dermabrasion treatment. It’s possible to perform dermabrasion on skin with active acne, but it is generally best to control the acne prior to the performing the procedure. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic medication such as tetracycline to control the acne before the treatment.

More Information
Thanks to research breakthroughs, clinical advances and instrumentation innovations pioneered by skin surgery experts, the majority of cosmetic surgeries is now minimally invasive and requires only local or regional anesthesia. This translates into superior patient safety while reducing the all-important "downtime" and recovery period. In addition, new developments and the latest techniques are constantly enhancing the results of many established skin surgery procedures. 
In just a short time, you can melt the years away from your face, looking natural and refreshed. Dr. Wittenberg can provide temporary improvements, such as chemical peels, botox, or laser skin resurfacing to more permanent solutions such as a neck lift, facial implants, or a face lift.
Did you know that dental implants are frequently the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth? Rather than resting on the gum line like removable dentures, or using adjacent teeth as anchors like fixed bridgers, dental implants are long term replacements that your oral and maxillofacial surgeon surgically places in the jawbone.Call our offices at (831) 636-9808
