If you’ve been spending hours at home using microdermabrasion kits to scrub the living daylights out of your face in hopes of rejuvenating your skin, it’s time to stop! Real anti-aging solutions are best left to board-certified plastic surgeons, like Dr. Brian Peterson. All it takes is a few hours at his Kelowna clinic with the cosmetic surgery procedure dermabrasion, and you’ll believe that you’ve found the fountain of youth.
Dermabrasion is a plastic surgery procedure where the top layers of skin are surgically removed, and your skin is left with a soft and smooth complexion. The procedure helps to soften deep animation lines and it gives the skin a younger and more refreshed look. In some cases, dermabrasion can also help people who have acne scarring - prospective patients with acne condition should consult with Dr. Peterson to find out if they are good candidates for the procedure.
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and you’ll experience minimal discomfort. In certain cases it can also be performed using general anesthesia, and this is a decision that will be made during your consultation with Dr. Peterson. Because dermabrasion resurfaces the top layers of the skin via surgery, your face will be fairly red and you may experience a tingling sensation, which could take a few days to a week to subside.
It’s important to note that dermabrasion is different from microdermabrasion; the latter is not performed by medical doctors and is offered in salons or in at-home kits. Microdermabrasion does not get deep into the skin to fix issues like scarring or wrinkles; only a dermabrasion has this ability.
Visiting Peterson MD in Kelowna is life-changing! Scrubbing your face with at-home microdermabrasion kits will only leave you with the momentary illusion of rejuvenated skin. However, dermabrasion in combination with facelifts are the real deal for reversing the visual effects of aging to keep you looking young.
If you’re looking for the fountain of youth, look no further than Dr. Brian Peterson. Book a consultation at his clinic in Kelowna today on (250) 868-9099.
