Atlanta Microdermabrasion
At our Atlanta-area office, we offer microdermabrasion as an effective non-surgical treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and acne scars. Microdermabrasion is sometimes used as an alternative to invasive facial plastic surgery options such as face lift or brow forehead lift or it can be combined with another skin care treatment to enhance results. In addition, microdermabrasion encourages the production of new cells and stimulates collagen production, contributing to healthier looking skin after treatment.
The Microdermabrasion Procedure
During the microdermabrasion procedure, tiny aluminum oxide crystals are gently sprayed against the patient's skin, exfoliating the damaged outer layer of skin and revealing a younger, healthier layer of skin beneath. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in their skin quality following microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion uses non-allergenic crystals and does not take long to perform, making it an ideal non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure for most patients.
During a consultation with Dr. Brian Howard, he will determine if you are a good candidate for microdermabrasion or another skin care option. He will answer all of your questions in great depth and ensure you understand all of the risks and benefits associated with microdermabrasion.
If you live in the Roswell or Atlanta-area and are interested in microdermabrasion, contact the office of Dr. Brian Howard to schedule a microdermabrasion consultation.
Atlanta Laser Skin Resurfacing
Following years of damage from sun exposure and other environmental factors, the skin tends to lose its healthy glow and wrinkles and fine lines begin to form. Laser skin resurfacing (also called "laser peel") can reverse these damaging effects and enhance the texture of the skin. Acne scars can also be improved with this innovative technique.
The Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure
Laser skin resurfacing is performed on an outpatient basis and the type and intensity of the laser used is completely dependent on the condition of your skin. The procedure involves the removal of the damaged outer layer of skin using laser technology. As the doctor gently guides the laser over the surface of the skin, layers of damaged skin are carefully removed. Following laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Brian Howard will apply a dressing to the area to encourage healing. Patients should expect a pink and reddish tone to the skin during the healing period.
Dr. Howard will use his extensive experience in skin rejuvenation procedures to determine which method will work best for you. Using laser technology for any medical treatment requires a specialized degree of training and expertise. Dr. Howard and his skilled staff have the experience necessary to ensure that your laser skin resurfacing treatment is a success.
