Dermabrasion

The heat from the laser may stimulate production of collagen, which gives skin its elasticity.

About Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a medical-grade skin resurfacing procedure that gently removes the outer layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and overall appearance. This controlled exfoliation process stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and surface irregularities.

The treatment is performed by a trained healthcare professional and is customized based on individual skin type and concerns. By promoting the growth of new, healthier skin, dermabrasion can result in a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion.

As the skin heals, gradual improvement continues over time, with long-lasting results when combined with proper skincare and sun protection. Dermabrasion is often chosen by patients seeking noticeable skin refinement and rejuvenation under medical supervision.

How it Works

Dermabrasion is a controlled skin resurfacing procedure in which the outer layers of the skin are gently removed using a specialized medical device. This process stimulates natural skin renewal and collagen production, helping improve texture, tone, and overall skin clarity. The depth of treatment is carefully adjusted based on individual skin needs and concerns.

Dermabrasion can significantly improve the appearance of scars, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and surface irregularities. Temporary redness, sensitivity, or swelling may occur as the skin heals, but these effects are expected and monitored. When performed by a qualified professional, dermabrasion is a safe and effective treatment with long-lasting aesthetic benefits.

After dermabrasion, the skin goes through a healing phase during which new, healthier skin gradually forms. Recovery time varies depending on treatment depth, but most patients notice progressive improvement in skin smoothness and brightness over the following weeks. Proper aftercare and sun protection are essential for optimal results.

You should contact your healthcare provider if you experience increasing pain, signs of infection, excessive swelling, unusual discharge, or delayed healing. Prompt evaluation helps ensure proper recovery and prevents potential complications.

Who is a good candidate for dermabrasion?

  • Scars caused by acne or previous skin injuries.
  • Uneven skin tone or surface pigmentation irregularities.
  • Fine lines and rough skin texture.
  • Sun-damaged skin with visible discoloration.
  • Certain superficial scars or benign skin irregularities.

Dermabrasion may be a suitable option for individuals who want to improve surface skin irregularities and achieve smoother, more even-looking skin. This procedure is often recommended for people with visible texture concerns that affect the outer layers of the skin, including acne-related scarring, uneven pigmentation, and sun-related damage.
