Dermafrac Frequently Asked Questions

dermafrac treatments
Is Dermafrac™ safe?

Yes, very safe. This is a shallow depth treatment and is safe and effective for many skin types and conditions.

Does it help problematic skin conditions?

Yes. It has been found to be very effective for congestion and breakouts. Dermafrac™ is even appropriate for treating teenagers.

Does it remove scars?

Scars may respond very well to Dermafrac™ and vary, based on several factors such as the age of the scar, depth of the scar tissue, individual skin types, location and the care given to the area between treatments.

Can it help get rid of stretch marks?

The consensus is that the newer the stretch mark, the better the response seem to be. In most cases, improvement is seen to some degree. A consultation would be recommended in order to better assess the degree of improvement that might be gained.

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 mineral makeup immediately after the procedure. You may experience some pink or slightly red areas, which should fade quickly. The degree of redness you experience will be directly related to the amount of stimulation during the procedure.

Does it work on wrinkles?

Superficial fine lines and wrinkles respond well to Dermafrac™ . The appearance of deep wrinkles or dynamic lines may be softened, but cannot be completely resolved.

Can this replace laser treatment?

Not entirely. The treatment should be your first attempt at wrinkles. If you do not obtain the results you desire then a laser treatment may be required.   Dermafrac™ therapy may be recommended following laser to help maintain results and resolve resulting hyperpigmentation.

Does it get rid of sun spots or skin discolouration?

Yes, it can be very effective in removing unwanted hyperpigmentation, sun damage and uneven skin colour and tone. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a prescription product to enhance the results of microdermabrasion. Sun protection is essential when treating skin discolouration disorders. A sun block will be required during and after the treatment.
