Ready to liberate yourself from expensive concealers? Dermabrasion is an effective in-office treatment that dramatically improves your skin and gives your face a smoother contour — after just one session.
Concealing acne scars may have been part of your make-up routine for years — a routine that only grew more involved once sun damage turned "youthful freckles" into brown spots, and fine wrinkles deepened into creases.
Over-the-counter remedies and at-home microdermabrasion products may work for very slight imperfections, but to rid your face of more pronounced wrinkles, creases, spots and scars, it's worth talking to the professionals at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery to see if Dermabrasion is right for you.
Dr. Robinson and staff welcome patients from Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Santa Ana and close-by communities.

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 removes only a very thin layer of dead skin cells — Dermabrasion exfoliates your skin to a much deeper level for more noticeable, longer-lasting improvement.
Dermabrasion dramatically improves skin and smooths the facial contour after just one in-office session — exfoliating far deeper than at-home microdermabrasion.
The process can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the areas being treated.
Dr. Robinson sterilizes your face and applies a numbing solution to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.
Using a hand-held machine that operates at high speed, he removes deep wrinkles and scars, raised scar tissue, blotchy skin and uneven texture — revealing smoother skin beneath.
The procedure takes from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Before you leave, Dr. Robinson recommends over-the-counter products or prescriptions for healing, and advises on protecting your newly emerging skin from the sun.
Dermabrasion requires minimal to no downtime, though the healing period increases slightly with more extensive procedures. It's common to experience some mild scabbing, tenderness, redness or sensitivity afterward — conditions that typically subside within a week or two with the products Dr. Robinson recommends.
Mild scabbing, tenderness, redness or sensitivity is common as the skin begins to heal.
Apply the recommended soothing products. The treated skin gradually begins to settle.
Scabbing, redness and sensitivity typically subside, revealing smoother, fresher skin.
Keep protecting the newly emerging skin from the sun, as it remains more sun-sensitive.
