What is Dermabrasion?

Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure used to “refinish” skin so that any irregularities on the surface of the skin are smoothed out.

Dermabrasion is useful in removing acne and chicken pox scars, pits in the face, precancerous growths called keratoses, and tattoos.

What is the recovery time?

The recovery for dermabrasion is rather mild. The patient is allowed to return home after the procedure. The post-operative period is painless. Patients are given pain medication in case they need it.

What are the benefits of getting Dermabrasion?

• Smoothes Skin Texture: Dermabrasion effectively removes the top layers of skin, improving skin texture and promoting a smoother complexion.

• Wrinkle Reduction: Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the mouth and eyes.

• Scar Revision: Can reduce the visibility of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars.

• Even Skin Tone: Helps even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of pigmentation irregularities and sun damage.

• Acne Scar Improvement: Dermabrasion can be effective in improving the appearance of deep acne scars.

• Non-Surgical: It’s a non-surgical procedure, meaning no incisions are necessary.

• Quick Recovery: Compared to some other cosmetic procedures, dermabrasion often has a relatively quick recovery time.

• Stimulates Collagen: The process stimulates collagen production, which can contribute to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

• Customizable Depth: The depth of the dermabrasion treatment can be customized to address specific skin concerns.

• Improved Absorption: After dermabrasion, skincare products may be absorbed more effectively, enhancing their benefits.

• Versatile: Can be performed on various areas of the body, not limited to the face.

• Long-Lasting Results: Results can be long-lasting with proper post-treatment care.

Always consult with a qualified dermatologist or skincare professional to discuss your specific concerns and determine if dermabrasion is the right choice for your skincare goals.
