Dermabrasion is a mechanical cosmetic procedure used to reserfice the skin. The surface of the skin is removed by abrasion (sanding). It is usually performed on the face, neck and on any part of the body. It is used to remove damaged skin (acne, sun, pores) and to remove or lessen scars, small wrinkles around the mouth and dark spots on the skin. By removing superficial layers of the skin, the dermabrasion allows new skin to appear. The technique exfoliates the skin, promoting the formation of new smoother, clearer skin. During the first 1-2 months the renovated skin is slightly reddish. Usage of sun cream with a high skin protective factor until the skin regains its normal color is necessary in order to prevent pigmentation.
Bandage is removed after 10-12 days.
The procedure is performed only from October to March.
The time duration of a dermabrasion procedure depends on the affected surface and it usually lasts from 15 to 60 min.
The recovering period is 14 days.
The anaesthesia of the operation is local or general, depending on patient’s choice. If the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, it is necessary to spend 24 hours in the hospital so that your recovery process can be monitored by a medical staff.
