Did you know that skin is the largest organ? We are surrounded by our skin, it keeps us safe and battles the elements day in and day out, everyday of our life. Taking proper care of your skin is one of the best ways to keep yourself looking young and healthy. Dr. Thompson offers a plethora of skin care treatments to keep your skin in top form. One of these procedures is dermabrasion.

Salt Lake City dermabrasion is a popular skin re-freshening treatment which uses a rotating diamond burr to sharply and precisely remove layers of damaged skin, allowing new collagen production. Since dermabrasion is removing that dead outer layer of skin, any skin imperfection on that layer will also be removed. Skin imperfections such as uneven skin pigmentation, fine line, wrinkles and sun damage may be effectively treated with dermabrasion.

Consulting with a skin care specialist is the best way to determine if dermabrasion is the right treatment option for you. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

The skin, particularly around the eyes, is vulnerable to wrinkles, creases and sagging. These days there are many options for rejuvenating the skin of our eyelids, one of the most effective and popular treatments is Blepharoplasty.

Often Blepharoplasty is done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as Brow Lift, Face Lift and Dermal Fillers.
