This resurfacing treatment uses a rapidly rotating device to gently “sand” the skin, removing scarred, uneven, or pigmented outer layers. Dermabrasion stimulates regeneration of new, more even and youthful looking skin. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone, reduces enlarged pores and improves superficial scars. Some redness and swelling is normal after treatment as the skin heals. Results are not instant, but gradually improve over several weeks as fresh skin appears. A series of treatments is recommended for optimal outcome. Discuss how dermabrasion can rejuvenate your skin with uneven texture or scarring.
Healing takes 10-21 days during which the skin will be sensitive and red.
Dermabrasion works well on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and more.
Dermabrasion is usually performed under local anesthesia or with oral sedation depending on the treated area and extent of resurfacing needed. More aggressive, deep dermabrasion may require general anesthesia. One of our providers will discuss the best options for anesthesia based on your individual case.
