Best Dermabrasion near me in Appenwihr, Colmar

Your skin will become red and swollen directly after treatment, but as the outer layers grow back, you’ll have smoother, younger looking skin. Dermabrasion is typically carried out by a dermatologist.

Dermabrasion not only helps give you smoother, younger looking skin, but it can also help treat scars, fine lines, rhinophyma, age spots, uneven skin tone, and even precancerous skin patches.
