Vibradermabrasion

For mild acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, poor skin texture, fine lines and dull skin.

What is Vibradermabrasion?

Vibradermabrasion is an exfoliative skin treatment that employs high speed, powerfully vibrating paddles to remove the outermost dead cell skin layer called the stratum corneum. These paddles have a very small abrasive surface, and as it vibrates against the skin these abrasive particles displace dead skin cells. This can be helpful for certain conditions in which the outer layer of skin may be altered, like acne or sun/UV damage, as it facilitates cellular regeneration and collagen production in the skin while cleaning the skin surface of dead cells. It is also added to many treatments as adjunctive therapy such as with chemical peels, Photodynamic therapy for acne, and laser and light treatment. By removal of the outermost dead skin layer, allowing better absorption of chemical and light treatment to produce more effective results.

Vibradermabrasion For Acne & Acne Scarring

Vibradermabrasion can be used to treat Acne and Acne Scarring. Acne can create troublesome scarring that disrupts the smoothness of the skin. With Vibradermabrasion’s exfoliative capabilities, the outer layer of skin can be displaced resulting in a more even, vibrant complexion. This treatment’s abrasion to the skin with the fine, abrasive surface of the vibrating paddles also stimulates collagen production – an important structural protein in the skin. This can help scarred skin regain some of its volumes over time. It’s the ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and collagen production is key to evening out the outer layer of skin, making scars from acne less noticeable. Scraping off these outer skin layers also helps keep acne-prone skin cleansed and clear, which can reduce acne and resultant inflammation. With Vibradermabrasion, our patients can receive a treatment for acne scars that is easy, safe, comfortable, much less irritating than other dermabrasion methods, and effective both in the short term and long term!

Vibradermabrasion For Sunspots / Brown Spots

Vibradermabrasion can also effectively treat sunspots / brown spots. With age and excessive sun exposure, UV light can begin to damage the melanocytes in our skin – the cells responsible for producing melanin pigmentation. As they get damaged they may overproduce melanin, resulting in unwanted dark brown spots that can interfere with a smooth, clear complexion. Not only does removing the outermost layers of skin with Vibradermabrasion help even out the skin’s tone, but it also helps make the skin more susceptible to other topical treatments, creams, and lightening agents as well as light and laser therapy that can work well on dark sun-damaged spots. By removing dead skin cells from the top layers, pigmentation-fighting treatments may be more effective in penetrating and lightening sunspots, which makes Vibradermabrasion a great adjunctive way to help get rid of these unwanted pigmented areas. The result is a more even, radiant complexion!

How long do results last?

Vibradermabrasion treatments usually produce results that last anywhere from 3-6 months on average. Certain improvements in the skin tone and surface smoothness may persist much longer, as some pigmentation is scraped away from sunspots and as collagen is built up in the skin cells to restore volume. A skin-care routine with proper hygiene and protection from the sun will help create persisting results.

What should I expect with Vibradermabrasion treatment?

To start, you and Dr. Brandish will develop an individualized treatment plan to determine if Vibradermabrasion is the best tool for the desired result.

Once Vibradermabrasion is identified as the proper treatment, the skin will be cleaned and prepped for the procedure. The patient will lie resting in our treatment chair, relaxed. A vibrating paddle will be placed against the skin of the area targeted for treatment. The Vibradermabrasion will feel like a vibrating strong massage over the skin removing the dead cell layer while stimulating collagen and cleansing the skin. Treatment typically takes 15-20 minutes to complete.

In the case of either acne or brown sunspot treatment, you may proceed to undergo other treatments after the completion of Vibradermabrasion.

Although advanced precautions are taken at Brandish Clinic to more easily perform optimal treatments with minimal downtime, the procedure can make the skin sensitive to light after the procedure. Be sure to have protective sunscreen to diminish any sun sensitivity. The skin will be revitalized and have a more clear complexion, sometimes immediately after the session!

A series of treatments over some weeks to months may be required to maximize the outcome in patients with acne and the number of treatments will be determined by the severity of the acne or sunspots.

Are there side effects to be aware of with Vibradermabrasion?

There are very few side effects with vibradermabrasion. The most common reported side effects tend to be skin redness, sun sensitivity, and mild peeling. These side effects tend to alleviate over a few hours to several days. Overall, vibradermabrasion is safe and comfortable, with almost no pain, less skin irritation than other dermabrasion methods, and very few other side effects.

Vibradermabrasion Summary

Vibradermabrasion is a cutting-edge dermabrasion method that utilizes vibrating paddles with a fine abrasive surface to gently remove the outer layers of skin, clearing it of unwanted dead skin cells.

PATIENT REVIEWS

—Gladys E.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.

—Ciara L.

I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.

—Sean O.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.

—Terri B.

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !

—Candy F.

I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
