Dermabrasion:
Dermabrasion:
Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by gently removing the outermost layer of skin. It’s commonly used to treat various skin conditions and concerns, such as:
- Scars
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun Damage
During the dermabrasion procedure:
The skin is numbed using a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
A high-speed rotating instrument (such as a wire brush or diamond wheel) is used to gently abrade the outer layers of the skin.
The depth of the abrasion depends on the specific skin concerns being addressed.
After the procedure, the skin is typically red, swollen, and sensitive, similar to a sunburn.
