Testimonials
Real Patient Testimonials/Reviews
I’m so happy Dr Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery.
It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience
Dr. Downs and whole team at Centre PC have been amazing! They listened to me as I told them my desired results, provided different options for me, based on years of industry knowledge and worked alongside me as I navigated the headaches of insurance. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make some positive change in their life!
Dr Macias is AMAZING!!
Dr. Macias is AMAZING!! She is so caring and kind. She listens to her patients and seems to really love her job and cares about her patients. I would highly recommend her. Her staff also has been very wonderful and caring all the time!
Very good bedside manner and great doctor
I was recently hospitalized last week for a finger infection. I ended up having surgery and Dr. Downs was my doctor. Very good bedside manner and great doctor. He takes his time to explain things to you. I really liked that. And went to his office for my follow up. All the staff were so sweet and professional.
Dr Downs has an amazing staff!
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
I enjoyed my whole experience
I received a rhinoplasty from Dr. Macias and my nose is PERFECT. 😍
I enjoyed my whole experience but here are a few specific highlights that stuck out:
- The staff is kind, informative, and responds quickly.
- I loved the simulation they used to show desired results.
- The staff the day of surgery was fun and helped me with my nerves.
- From the little shopping I did, their prices were the best (sometimes by far!).

Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions.

Techniques
The Dermaplaning Procedure
During a brief, outpatient treatment, a licensed skin care professional gently glides a sterile, scalpel-like blade across the skin’s surface, exfoliating the epidermis (outer skin layer). The procedure is:
- Painless and requires no anesthesia
- Noninvasive with no swelling or bruising
- Quick typically takes 30-45 minutes
Dermaplaning & Facial Hair
A common myth is that vellus hair grows back thicker or darker after dermaplaning—this is not true. The hair will regrow at its natural consistency and color.
To maintain results, it is recommended to schedule treatments every three to four weeks.
Recovery and Aftercare
- No downtime required—return to normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours..
- Skin may appear slightly pink but will fade within a few hours.
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect fresh skin.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinol-based products for at least 48 hours.
Results
- Immediate radiance and skin smoothness
- Enhanced product absorption and makeup application
- More even skin tone
Risks and Considerations
While safe for most skin types, dermaplaning has minor risks, including:
- Temporary redness or sensitivity
- Mild irritation in sensitive skin types
- Potential breakouts if skin is acne-prone
A professional consultation ensures the procedure is safe and effective for your skin type.
