Dermalinfusion Microdermabrasion is the most dynamic skin treatment currently available, providing both non-invasive exfoliation and the delivery of skin-specific topical solutions. The result is better-looking, fresher-feeling skin. SilkPeel doesn’t use crystals or other abrasive particles which can irritate the skin. The procedure is safe and painless, allowing patients to achieve optimum results quickly and without the complications and discomfort associated with other more invasive procedures.

Are you a candidate for Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a gentle skin resurfacing procedure which can improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tones, enlarged pores and age spots. Potential candidates for microdermabrasion include men and women who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to improve the appearance of the facial skin.

What to expect after Microdermabrasion treatment

It usually requires thirty minutes to an hour to complete and multiple sessions spaced two to three weeks apart are usually required.

Patients are able to immediately resume normal activities after treatment, though sun exposure will need to be avoided for about a week. Periodic treatments are typically needed in order to maintain results.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Microdermabrasion

Line
How long does bruising last after blepharoplasty and is there any way to speed recovery?

Dr. Schoenfeld knows his patients are eager to return to their regular schedules after surgery, and he can recommend different things to promote faster healing. The doctor recommends that prior to surgery patients temporarily discontinue the use of vitamins and natural remedies as they can lead to increased bleeding and bruising of the face following blepharoplasty. Before the doctor begins the surgery, he administers epinephrine to prevent blood flow during surgical injections of the eyelid and face, which decreases intraoperative bleeding. Directly following blepharoplasty, Dr. Schoenfeld applies Arnica gel topically to reduce pain and inflammation, and he encourages patients to ice the affected area immediately. Even with these precautions, bruising will likely occur. Photorejuvenation (light laser) treatment can expedite the resolution of bruising postoperatively. Additionally, patients can use makeup to cover the bruising one week after blepharoplasty. Click here to learn more details about recovery and side effects of Eyelid surgery.

What blepharoplasty office is near me?

If you live near Chevy Chase, MD, RENU by Dr. Schoenfeld offers blepharoplasty among its services and is conveniently located at 5454 Wisconsin Ave #1625, Chevy Chase, MD 20815.

Does eyelid surgery treat under eye hollows? If so, does it incorporate fat injection?

Lower eyelid surgery can treat hollowness in the lower eyelids through various methods. The doctor can administer in-office injections of fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to restore volume to the lower eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty with fat removal and repositioning is another way to treat this aesthetic concern. Lower eyelid surgery results last longer than filler injections to the lower lids, and the results are often more aesthetically pleasing. While fat injections to the lower eyelids can be performed, this method may lead to an uneven texture and irregularities of the area as the under eye skin is very thin.

How do you correct upper eyelids that are not visible?

Excess skin or eyebrow ptosis (lowered brows) may result in the hidden appearance of the upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty can treat extra eyelid skin, while brow lift can adjust the position of the forehead and lift the eyebrows. A thorough physical examination of the eyelids will allow the doctor to determine which surgery is most appropriate for a patient. During the surgical consult, each option can be explored in depth.

Do Blepharoplasty patients experience difficulty closing their eyes following surgery?
The purpose of eyelid surgery is to rejuvenate the eyes so a person may appear more alert and refreshed. The doctor does not alter the shape and overall appearance of the eyes through blepharoplasty, so closing the eyes should not be difficult as the anatomy essentially remains the same and only extra biological materials are snipped away. One potential complication of upper eyelid surgery is the removal of too much skin, which can lead to difficulty closing the eyes. Dr. Schoenfeld is an experienced blepharoplasty surgeon, and he takes time to create proper measurements of the amount of excess upper eyelid skin prior to removal to avoid this potential complication.
What is Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty? Is it superior to regular eyelid surgery?
Transconjunctival eyelid surgery is commonly performed to address bulky tissues of the lower eyelids and some mildly loose skin. During transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty, the incision is created on the inside of the lower eyelid. The incision penetrates the conjunctiva (mucus membrane that lines the inner eyelids) and allows the doctor to enter directly into the fat compartments under the skin, avoiding visible incisions. The transconjunctival lower eyelid surgical approach has a much lower incidence of post-operative eyelid malposition than a traditional eyelid surgery.
What is the typical post-op period like after eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty patients will feel physically well in less than a week postoperatively, but it could be two weeks before they may be presentable at work. The lower eyelids tend to swell and bruise more so than the upper eyelids, depending on the surgical fixes. If patients feel self-conscious of the visible bruising and swelling of the eye area, they can request two weeks away from their regular schedule to ensure adequate recovery time.
How does a facial plastic surgeon determine whether a patient needs blepharoplasty or a brow lift?
A thorough physical examination by an experienced surgeon can help patients determine which cosmetic surgery would most benefit their looks. The doctor can explain how upper or lower blepharoplasty would alter the eyes and surrounding skin, and he may use imaging during this process. When a patient lifts his or her brow and still finds a visible amount of excess upper eyelid skin in place, he or she may opt for an upper eyelid lift and brow lift. When performing the same motion, if excess skin of the eyelids disappears and the patient is pleased with the appearance of the face in that position, a brow lifting may be the sole requested surgery. Lower blepharoplasty candidates will notice very visible under-eye bags that often do not disappear, regardless of how they move their face.
