Microdermabrasion
If you're considering microdermabrasion...
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning 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.
Dermabrasion 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.
Both dermabrasion and dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of
skin or on the entire face. They can be used alone, or in conjunction
with other procedures such as facelift, scar removal or revision, or
chemical peel.
THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR MICRODERMABRASION
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning can enhance your appearance and your
self-confidence, but neither treatment will remove all scars and flaws
or prevent aging. Before you decide to have a skin-refinishing
treatment, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with
your surgeon.
Men and women of all ages, from young people to older adults, can
benefit from dermabrasion and dermaplaning. Although older people heal
more slowly, more important factors are your skin type, coloring, and
medical history. For example, black skin, Asian skin, and other dark
complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a
skin-refinishing treatment. People who develop allergic rashes or other
skin reactions, or who get frequent fever blisters or cold sores, may
experience a flare-up. If you have freckles, they may disappear in the
treated area.
