Dermabrasion
| 
| Dermabrasion help to "refinish" the skin's top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance. | | | | It is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. It's also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning is commonly used to treat deep acne scars. |
| Dermabrasion is non-invasive. The procedure only removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal the fresher, younger cells beneath. Regardless of your skin's condition, fine lines and age spots may be erased and acne scars and stretch marks will become less obvious. | | | After the procedure, your skin will be quite red and swollen. You'll probably feel some tingling, burning, or aching; any pain you feel can be controlled with medications prescribed by your Dr.. The swelling will begin to subside in a few days to a week. | | | | More active sports-especially ball sports-should be avoided for four to six weeks. If you swim, stick to indoor pools to avoid sun and wind, and keep your face out of chlorinated water for at least four weeks. It will be at least three to four weeks before you can drink alcohol without experiencing a flush of redness. | | | | It's important to protect your skin from the sun until the pigment has completely returned to your skin- as long as six to twelve months. | | | | Maintaining healthy looking skin is a daily task. Always wear SPF of at least 15 to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Keep your skin moist and fresh with daily cleansing and moisturizing using specially formulated skin care products. Ask your skin care specialist about recommendations for your skin care products. | | |
