Dermabrasion in clinic André Mattos
About the clinic
Dermabrasion at Clinic André Mattos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a mechanical skin resurfacing procedure used to treat scars and wrinkles. The treatment is led by Dr. André Mattos, who trained under the world-famous Prof. Ivo Pitanguy. Patients benefit from a clinic that holds TEMOS international quality certification and full membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.
Dermabrasion Techniques and Methods
The procedure uses rotating tips to gently abrade the skin surface. Dr. André Mattos controls the depth of the treatment based on your skin needs. He can perform superficial peeling or deep resurfacing. A standard session lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. This method helps remove damaged skin layers to reveal smoother skin underneath.
Treatment Settings and Anesthesia
The clinic offers two levels of treatment depending on the skin condition. Light dermabrasion takes place in the office and does not require anesthesia. For more intensive results, deep dermabrasion is performed in a hospital setting. During deep procedures, the medical team uses sedation to keep the patient comfortable.
Recovery and Post-Treatment Care
Recovery time depends on the intensity of the session. Following a light treatment, patients usually recover in 2 to 3 days. Deep resurfacing requires a longer healing period of 1 to 2 weeks. It is vital to avoid sun exposure as long as the skin stays red. This helps prevent pigment changes during the healing process.
The Expertise of Dr. André Mattos
Dr. André Mattos leads the surgical team with over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery. He completed his residency under Prof. Ivo Pitanguy, a pioneer in the field. Dr. André Mattos is a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has served as a Medical Director in Dubai. He also holds an MBA in Healthcare Management, which helps him maintain high standards at his facilities in Niterói and Leblon.

clinic André Mattos: more details about the clinic
Clinic André Mattos is a private medical facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It operates in the Niterói and Leblon districts, serving local and international patients. The clinic prioritizes safety and individual medical criteria over aesthetic trends. Each treatment plan starts with a clinical evaluation and structured pre-operative preparation.
Accreditations and Medical Leadership
Dr. André Mattos, the clinic's lead plastic surgeon, completed his residency under Professor Pitanguy. He also serves as a Medical Director in Dubai. The facility holds several professional recognitions:
- Full membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
- TEMOS international certification for quality in medical care
- Accreditation by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery
Four specialists coordinate patient care from initial consultation through recovery.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic offers surgical interventions for facial rejuvenation and body shaping. Surgeons focus on restoring natural proportions while addressing specific anatomical concerns. Surgical options include:
- Facelift (ritidoplasty) to treat sagging skin and deep wrinkles
- Blepharoplasty for correcting eyelid drooping or puffiness
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair abdominal muscles
- Liposuction using water-jet and tumescent techniques for localized fat removal
- Mastopexy and breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Gluteoplasty involving buttock implants or fat transfer
- Labiaplasty and vaginoplasty for intimate surgical needs
For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia through surgical tissue removal. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 1.5 hours and requires 12 to 24 hours of hospitalization. Surgeons often combine tissue excision with liposuction for a flatter chest contour.
Surgical Technologies and Safety Protocols
The clinic uses digital tools to refine surgical accuracy and document procedures. During operations, the team wears Meta smart glasses to record techniques and support real-time teaching. For skin treatments, specialists use the Dermapen 4 system – a micro-needling device with adjustable depth and speed for different skin types.
Specialist physiotherapist Dr. Camila Oliveira evaluates all patients before surgery. She creates personalized postoperative plans to reduce swelling and speed healing. The clinic also uses digital body dermatoscopy for early skin cancer screening.
International Patient Support and Recovery
Patients visiting from abroad receive structured follow-up through mobile technology. This system lets international patients stay in contact with their surgical team after returning home. The follow-up process includes:
- Direct access to personalized surgical plans via phone
- Regular review of postoperative photos by the medical team
- Recording of a recovery video for every patient to track progress
- Direct communication with nursing staff for pain management
Nursing staff closely monitor vital signs, dressings, and surgical drains during immediate recovery. This helps patients from different regions receive consistent care throughout healing.
