Skin refinishing (Dermabrasion)

 

Skin Resurfacing, Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a technique of skin resurfacing in which a high-speed rotary instrument with various abrasive end pieces is used to remove chosen layers of skin. The epidermis then regenerates from epidermal appendages in the deep dermis. Organized remodeling of the dermis yields rejuvenated skin that is smoother and firmer than it was before.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a procedure that is used to smooth fine wrinkles and scars left by acne or previous surgery. It involves controlled surgical scraping that 'refinishes' the top layers of the skin to give a smoother appearance. Dermabrasion can be performed over the full surface of the face or on small areas, and may be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as facelift or face peel. Dermabrasion is not an appropriate treatment for some people. Asian or dark-skinned people may experience permanent discolouration and blotchiness. People with freckled skin should avoid

dermabrasion over small areas, because their freckles will disappear in the treated areas only. People who develop allergic rashes or other skin reactions are also advised against undergoing dermabrasion.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is like laser skin resurfacing in that it can treat deeper wrinkles and improve the appearance of acne scars or skin discolorations and remove pre-cancerous keratoses. In addition, this treatment is useful in treating unwanted tattoos and scarring caused by chicken pox or injuries. Dermaplaning is a similar treatment but involves deeper planing of skin, which is used for crater-like scars.

Dermabrasion penetrates much deeper than chemical peels and the skimming of the outer layers of skin to the dermis layer causes the skin to produce collagen. Dermabrasion is also performed in conjunction with more extensive procedures like a facelift, brow lift or eyelid lift.

What does it cost?
The different treatments vary in cost according to the area treated, the individual physician and where he or she practices. Generally, dermabrasion ranges from $1000 to $2000.
