About dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing cosmetic procedure that decreases the appearance of fine facial lines and helps reduce acne scars, scars from surgery, age spots, wrinkles, or any other skin issues. Dermabrasion can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.

Dermabrasion cosmetic procedure

A trained and qualified aesthetic practitioner first marks the treatment area for proper execution. A local anesthetic is used to prevent pain or discomfort during the treatment. The procedure begins with a small motorized device that’s moved across the skin with constant, gentle pressure. The device has an abrasive wheel or a brush for the tip removes the outer skin layers. Depending on the expanse of skin that needs to be treated, a dermabrasion cosmetic procedure can take between a few minutes to an hour, once or over multiple visits.

Dermabrasion causes crusting and hence patients need some downtime to recover. There is often a small pinpoint bleeding of the raw wound after the procedure that can be reduced with proper wound care.
