Dermabrasion
A single professional treatment that dramatically improves skin appearance โ smoothing deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage and uneven texture to reveal your skin's inner beauty.
When to Consider Dermabrasion
Go beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve
Concealing unsightly acne scars has been part of your make-up regimen for years. Your daily camouflage routine grew even more involved when you noticed the sun damage โ those weren't youthful freckles, they were brown spots! And when your fine wrinkles began to deepen into creases, you tried at-home microdermabrasion products praised by your friends and acclaimed by beauty editorsโฆ only to be disappointed when they didn't noticeably smooth or soften your complexion as promised.
Over-the-counter remedies may work for people with very slight skin imperfections โ but to rid your face of more pronounced wrinkles, creases, spots, and scars, it's time to talk to the professionals at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery about whether Dermabrasion is right for you.
Dermabrasion is a very effective in-office procedure that, after just one treatment, will dramatically improve the appearance of your skin and give your face a smoother contour. Unlike microdermabrasion, which only removes a very thin layer (10 to 15 microns) of dead skin cells, Dermabrasion exfoliates your skin to a much deeper level for truly transformative results.
Dr. Robinson and staff welcome patients from Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Santa Ana and close-by communities throughout Orange County.
How Dermabrasion Works
After sterilizing your face and applying a numbing solution, Dr. Robinson uses a hand-held machine that operates at high speed to remove deep wrinkles and scars, raised scar tissue, blotchy skin, and uneven texture. The process can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the areas being treated.
The key difference between professional Dermabrasion and at-home microdermabrasion products is depth โ Dermabrasion penetrates far beyond the superficial layer of dead skin cells to address the deeper structural skin concerns that topical treatments simply cannot reach.
Skin Sterilization
The treatment area is carefully sterilized to prepare the skin for the procedure and minimize any risk of infection.
Numbing Solution Applied
A topical numbing solution is applied to the skin to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
High-Speed Dermabrasion
Dr. Robinson uses a specialized hand-held machine operating at high speed to precisely exfoliate targeted areas โ removing deep wrinkles, scars, raised scar tissue, and uneven texture.
Duration
The procedure takes anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the extent and number of areas being treated.
Professional Dermabrasion vs. At-Home Microdermabrasion
Understanding the key difference helps set realistic expectations. Professional Dermabrasion goes far deeper than any over-the-counter product can reach.

Recovery and What to Expect
Dermabrasion requires minimal to no downtime, though the healing period increases slightly with more extensive procedures. It is common to experience some mild scabbing, tenderness, redness, or sensitivity after your appointment โ all normal parts of the skin's healing and renewal process.
Dr. Robinson will recommend over-the-counter products or prescriptions to treat any post-procedure conditions, which typically subside within a week or two. Your face will also be more susceptible to sun damage following Dermabrasion, so he will advise you to protect your newly emerging skin when spending time outdoors for the next few months.
For comprehensive skin rejuvenation, Dermabrasion pairs well with Chemical Peel, PRP Dermal Needling, or IPL Photofacial โ ask Dr. Robinson about the best combination approach for your skin goals.
