Dermabrasion - Cosmetic Medical Procedure

Controlled Surgical Wearing Away

Want to wipe away those terrible acne scars? Try dermabrasion. Carried out by a dermatological surgeon, dermabrasion is a cosmetic medical procedure to enhance appearance through controlled surgical wearing away (scraping). It is used in the treatment or removal of:

• Facial wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Dark spots
• Pox marks
• Age spots
• Skin lesions
• Accident caused scars
• Keratoses

In dermabrasion, an antiseptic is first used to clean the affected region. This is followed by the application of a unique spray on the skin to freeze it. The skin is then abraded using a speedy rotary instrument having a brush or abrasive wheel. A superficial wound is created, outer skin layers are removed, and skin surface irregularities are made better. The wound is made in such a way as to not only get rid of the scar but also to enable the development of fresh skin in the normal way.

Microdermabrasion

Skin that has been affected by aging, scarring, hyper-pigmentation or sun exposure can be freshened up through microdermabrasion. In microdermabrasion, a greatly superficial area of the skin (often only the stratum corneum) is fully or partially removed. Well-known methods of microdermabrasion include crystal, ultrasonic and crystal free.

Get Prior Information about the Procedure

A patient should get prior information about dermabrasion from his/her surgeon, and assess the pros and cons of the procedure before taking the final decision to get it done. For one who repeatedly gets cold sores or fever blisters, or develops sensitivities or allergic rashes, the treatment isn’t advisable. Dermabrasion could affect people with dark complexions negatively as it may cause the skin to be permanently blotchy or discolored.

If you are in great health and feel that you don’t deserve that ugly pigmentation or those facial wrinkles, dermabrasion might be a good solution.
