Overview
Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that mechanically exfoliates the skin using a rotating brush or diamond-tipped instrument. The treatment aims to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, enhancing texture and reducing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Procedure
Technique
Performed under local anesthesia, dermabrasion involves gently abrading the outer layers of skin, allowing healthier, smoother skin to emerge during the healing process.Post-Treatment Effects
After the procedure, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to mild sunburn.
Recovery
Healing Process
Recovery typically involves managing these effects, with the skin starting to heal within a week. Final results become visible as the skin fully regenerates, revealing a smoother, more even complexion.
Benefits
Improvement in Skin Appearance
Dermabrasion can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars and fine lines, particularly around the mouth, leading to a fresher and more youthful appearance.
