Microdermabrasion in Theodore Droubi

About the clinic

Microdermabrasion at the Theodore Droubi clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a mechanical exfoliation treatment used to rejuvenate the skin. This procedure is performed by Dr. Theodore Droubi, an expert with over 30 years of experience who has treated 60,000+ patients. The treatment helps remove dead skin cells and smooth the surface of the face or body.

Microdermabrasion Techniques and Process

The clinic offers two primary methods of exfoliation to suit different skin needs. Patients can choose between a diamond-tip wand or a crystal spray system. Both methods gently remove the outer layer of skin. The choice of technique depends on your skin type and sensitivity.

  • Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses a wand to physically scrub the skin while suctioning away debris.
  • Crystal microdermabrasion sprays fine particles to polish the skin surface.
  • Local anesthesia may be used to help you feel comfortable during the session.

Each session typically lasts between 15 and 60 minutes. Because the procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.

Expert Care in Rio de Janeiro

Dr. Theodore Droubi leads the clinic with extensive training from the Ivo Pitanguy School. He holds memberships in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the Association of Former Students of Professor Ivo Pitanguy. The clinic is located in the Copacabana district, making it accessible for international visitors. The medical team provides support in English, French, and Arabic to help patients feel at home.

Maintenance and Results

For the best results, the clinic recommends a specific schedule. Most patients start with two sessions per month. Once the initial skin texture improves, you should transition to one session per month for maintenance. This regular schedule helps keep the skin smooth and healthy. While the procedure is safe, common risks include mild pain, white bumps called milia, or temporary changes in skin color. Following the monthly plan helps maintain the long-term glow of the skin.

Theodore Droubi: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro
Theodore Droubi is a private plastic surgery clinic established in 1996 in the Copacabana district of Rio de Janeiro. Founded by Dr. Theodore Droubi, the practice focuses on aesthetic and restorative procedures for international and local patients.

Experience and Accreditations

The clinic has treated over 60,000 patients from around the world. Dr. Theodore Droubi leads the practice with around 30 years of medical experience. He is a member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), the clinic's primary professional accreditation.

The medical team includes two doctors who specialize in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Dr. Droubi trained at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized at the Ivo Pitanguy School, a premier institution for plastic surgery training.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The clinic offers surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Surgeons address concerns such as prominent ears, breast development issues, and localized fat. The surgical department performs:

  • Rhinoplasty and chin surgery for facial harmony
  • Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and facelifts
  • Breast reduction, augmentation, and reconstruction
  • High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) with ultrasound and laser technology
  • Gynecomastia surgery to reduce male breast tissue

Body contouring reshapes the trunk and limbs through various surgical techniques. Surgeons use Vibrolipo and Vaser technologies for fat removal and skin tightening. These methods improve precision and can shorten recovery compared to traditional techniques.

Intimate Surgery and Female Health

Specialists perform delicate procedures for female genital aesthetics. These surgeries often address physical discomfort or functional concerns alongside aesthetic goals. Options include:

  • Labiaplasty to reduce the size of the labia minora or majora
  • Vaginoplasty to correct vaginal laxity
  • Perineoplasty for structural repair and refinement
  • Clitoral hood reduction and mons pubis volume reduction

Intimate surgeries typically take 1–2 hours under general or regional anesthesia. Most patients return to work within 7–14 days. The clinic advises against sexual relations for eight weeks after surgery to allow proper tissue healing.

Minimally Invasive Treatments

The clinic offers non-surgical alternatives for skin rejuvenation or fat reduction. These treatments are performed in an outpatient setting without traditional surgery. Options include:

  • Lipólise – a 25-minute laser-based treatment for non-surgical fat reduction
  • Injectable treatments using Botox® and Prosign® brands
  • Diamond microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing
  • Chemical peels and laser facial renewal

The non-surgical fat reduction program shows visible results in about six weeks. Since these procedures are minimally invasive, they require little to no downtime.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from various regions and maintains a multilingual environment. The medical team provides support and consultations in four languages:

  • English
  • French
  • Arabic
  • Portuguese

During the consultation, the surgeon creates a detailed treatment plan. This covers surgical steps, anesthesia types, and recovery expectations. All pre-operative instructions – including smoking cessation and medication management – are provided in the patient's preferred language.

Impeccable experience from start to finish! I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Theodore Droubi. From the very first appointment, he stood out for his attentiveness, transparency, and utmost sincerity about the entire process. The surgery was an absolute success, and the postoperative support made all the difference in helping me feel safe and cared for at every moment. Today I can say, from the heart, that I am completely thrilled with the result! A humane, ethical, and extremely competent professional. I recommend him without hesitation.

I had my abdominoplasty with Dr. Theodore Droubi, and I am very satisfied. I had already had chin liposuction with him. He really transformed my life.
