Cosmetic Dermatology Treatment for Brownwood, TX
Customized Dermatology Treatment Plan
Number of Treatments
Your personalized regime will be determined by the skin condition being treated and your desired results. The number of treatments can vary from 4 to 12, depending on the severity of your condition and treatment goals. Stretch marks ad acne scars require the greatest number of treatments. Microdermabrasion treatments should be performed 7 to 10 days apart. It is vitally important that you adhere to the schedule that is developed for you. Waiting longer that 14 days between treatments can interfere with your progress. After your desired results have been achieved, you will want to have maintenance treatments at least every three months.
Advance Preparation
If you are using any skin products containing Retin-A, hydroquinone, or glycolic acid, you will want to stop using them 48 hours before your treatment. You may resume their use 24 hours after treatment. Skin that has been overexposed to the sun and is sunburned should not be treated.
How Soon Will You See Results?
Microdermabrasion is a progressive procedure. You will definitely feel softer, smoother skin and may see subtle improvement after only one visit. You will see visible improvement after four treatments. The benefits continue to multiply with each additional treatment as increased circulation is noted within the dermis and newer, healthier skin cells are seen at the surface.
Acne Treatment
Microdermabrasion has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of:
• Wrinkles • Fine lines • Acne • Acne scars • Stretch marks • Age/Sun spots
• Enlarged pores • Clogged pores • Flaking & dry skin • Uneven pigmentation
Special Products Before or After The Procedure
Dependent upon the goals of your treatment protocol, certain prescription medications may be recommended, as well as a special series of skin serums formulated for use specifically during and after microdermabrasion treatments.

Will I need time to recuperate?
~No. You may return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure. If you so desire, you may reapply your makeup immediately after the procedure.

It is important to note that “redder is better” in the end in that it leads to enhanced dermal circulation and stimulation of collagen production within the dermis. The degree of redness you experience will be directly related to the amount of stimulation during the procedure.

In some cases, the doctor may recommend a prescription product to enhance the results of microdermabrasion. Sun protection is essential when treating skin discoloration disorders.
