Dermabrasion FAQs
Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing procedure that treats fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage by removing the external layers of your skin using a device that revolves at high-speed (don’t worry, you’ll be given an anaesthetic to numb the pain). 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.
Yes, but don’t worry: you’ll be given a local or general anaesthetic before treatment begins.
You should be able to go back to work after 2 weeks, but you’ll need to wait up to 3 months for your skin tone to return to normal. You’ll have dressings to change, too, so follow your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions to ensure swift and healthy healing.
Yes: your skin will be red and swollen, and you could experience bleeding. Risks and other possible side effects of dermabrasion include infection, allergic reactions to your anaesthetic, acne breakouts, freckle loss, skin tone changes, and temporarily enlarged pores. Some people have reported severe scarring, but this is rare.
Roughly 4-6 treatments; your dermatologist should be able to give you a more accurate idea based on your skin type.
