According to Dr. Jason Diamond, dermabrasion involves the
removal of rough, damaged or scarred skin.
Are you hiding anyugly scars?Afraid to bare all at the beach?It’s time
to make the scars disappear. Despite the
popularity of laser treatments, dermabrasion remains an attractive option for
many people. If you haven’t been
successful completely removing that tattoo of your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, dermabrasion can
Remove additional skin layers so it’s near impossible to notice (yours
significant other will thank you later).

Before choosing dermabrasion, speak with an experienced dermatologist
to see if it is right for you.Dermabrasion has been shown to be highly
effective treating shallow scars resulting from acne, chickenpox, or an
accident and those deep lines or wrinkles above the lip, says Dr. Jason Diamond.
If you have had significant scarring or severe acne, this
procedure may not be suitablefor you and there are other options you may want
to consider. Your dermatologist may also recommend that you take antiviral or
antibiotics prior to treatment.
Dr. Jason Diamond reviews a few basic questions you should
ask your dermatologist before signing up for dermabrasion:
- Can I see sample photographs of your patients that have undergone dermabrasion?
- What are the risks of this treatment?
- How long will my results last?
Dermabrasion is typically an outpatient procedure. A handheld
device is moved in a circular motion over the skinlike a sander (don’t try this
at home!) to remove the surface layers – the procedure
can last up to a couple of hours. Recovery can take five to seven days, but the
results can last 10 years or more.
Following dermabrasion, the affected area will need sometime
to heal. It’s usually necessary to stay
out of the sun for some time after ward. As
the skin heals, your body produces collagen, an essential ingredient in smooth,
younger-looking skin.
