We Are Now Offering Virtual Consultations. Please Schedule Your Consultation Online.

As a cosmetic medicine facility, we typically do not service sick patients. Our patients are electing to have procedures that are not medically necessary, so your risk of running into an ill patient is lower than that of other healthcare facilities.
Our surgeries and other treatments are performed in our private facilities that are used purely for elective treatments.

We continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, and are actively following the guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) as well as our local, state and federal government agencies. Our usual guidelines include universal precautions, frequent handwashing, and frequent sanitizing of all patient areas. For the most up-to-date information, please check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website about this evolving situation, how to reduce the risk of spreading illness, travel health notices, and more.

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Currently, as the coronavirus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, we have now adopted several enhanced safety measures to decrease the risk of exposure to you and the community which include the following:

Please wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use the hand sanitizers provided when you enter our offices.
If you are feeling unwell or anyone in your household may have been exposed to COVID-19 through travel or attendance at large gatherings less than two weeks ago, please call us at your earliest convenience so we can reschedule you!
If you need to cough or sneeze, do so into the crease of your elbow, and then immediately wash your hands.
Know the symptoms of Coronavirus: tiredness, fever, weakness, shortness of breath and diarrhea. This virus is lower respiratory focused, so you may not have upper respiratory symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, and congestion.
Take these additional preventive actions to stop the spread of germs-(wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces).

We hope that each of you will stay safe & healthy as we navigate this complex situation together.

Sincerely,
Dr. Obasi & his staff at Noble Cosmetic Surgery

Dermabrasion Q & A

by Patrick Obasi, MD, FACS

What is dermabrasion?

Dermabrasion is done on the face, either to a specific area or as a full-face treatment. The technique can also be used elsewhere on the body. By surgically “scraping” the skin, it’s smoothed and refined. Layers of old skin are buffed away to reveal new, fresher skin underneath.

Dermabrasion can minimize the appearance of scars or wrinkles, or eliminate precancerous moles or freckles. It can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic enhancements, such as a chemical peel.

What is the procedure like?

Dr. Obasi cleanses your skin and may numb the treatment area with local anesthetic. He might also apply ice packs to firm the skin for more efficient abrasion.

The device used for dermabrasion has a diamond wheel or fine brush head that rotates rapidly. Dr. Obasi applies it to the surface of the skin with carefully controlled speed, pressure, and duration. The procedure is fast and painless. Afterwards, he cleanses your skin again and applies an antiseptic ointment with a sterile dressing.

Most patients experience little or no discomfort after treatment. You can expect to return to normal activities within a day or two. If you do experience pain, Dr. Obasi will advise you on how to manage it with pain relievers and topical ointments to reduce swelling.

How long do results last?

Visibility of your full results depends on the size and depth of the treatment area. Fresh, new skin usually regenerates in 5-8 days, and any pink pigmentation fades in about six weeks. Dr. Obasi might recommend a series of treatments that you’ll space apart to allow enough time for your skin to heal in between sessions.

You may be given some aftercare instructions on how to care for your skin. Daily sun protection is extremely important after any facial cosmetic enhancement, as is using the right products to heal and repair your skin.

Since dermabrasion only affects the top layers of skin, the results last several weeks or months. However, regular dermabrasion can keep the skin looking youthful and fresh. It’s one of the safest and most affordable ways to look rejuvenated and beautiful.
