Dermabrasion is a procedure that uses a rotating device to remove the top layers of skin. It is used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage. Our expert will guide you through this transformation, unveiling your skin’s luminosity.
Dermabrasion involves using a rotating device to remove top skin layers after applying local anaesthesia. It’s effective for addressing issues like scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Skin may appear red and raw afterwards as it is a skin-resurfacing technique that rejuvenates the skin’s texture and appearance by removing the outermost layers. Protecting from sun exposure and avoiding harsh skincare products during recovery is essential.
Dermabrasion is typically performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. The patient’s skin is cleaned and prepped. The doctor then uses a rotating device to remove the top layers of skin. The depth of the dermabrasion will vary depending on the severity of the skin condition being treated.
After the dermabrasion procedure, the doctor will apply a dressing to the treated area. The dressing will help to protect the skin and promote healing.
Recovery duration post-dermabrasion varies based on the procedure’s depth. It can entail redness, swelling, and discomfort. For most patients, the skin heals in 2-3 weeks. However, it may take up to 6 months for the full results of the procedure to be visible. During the recovery period, patients will need to be careful to protect their skin from the sun and to avoid using harsh skincare products. They should also avoid strenuous activity.

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a rotating instrument with an abrasive surface to remove the top layers of skin, addressing various skin concerns and promoting skin rejuvenation.
Dermabrasion is commonly used to improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin texture, sun damage, and certain types of pigmentation issues
Dermabrasion is a more aggressive and invasive procedure than microdermabrasion, as it removes deeper layers of skin. Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is a milder exfoliation treatment.
Dermabrasion may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, including active acne, skin infections, or a history of keloid scarring. It is essential to consult with a dermatologist to determine eligibility.
Dermabrasion can cause some discomfort, but it is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, making the procedure more comfortable for the patient.
Possible risks and side effects of dermabrasion may include redness, swelling, scarring, changes in skin pigmentation, and infection. These risks can be minimized with proper post-procedure care.
The recovery period after dermabrasion can vary depending on the depth of the procedure. It generally takes several days to a few weeks for the skin to heal and for redness and swelling to subside.
Dermabrasion can be combined with other procedures, such as chemical peels or laser therapy, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
The longevity of dermabrasion results can vary depending on the individual and the skin concern being treated. In some cases, results are long-lasting, but follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain the effect.
