Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is one of the oldest methods used for improvement
of the quality and texture of skin. Dermabrasion should not
to be confused with microdermabrasion. Dermabrasion is one
of the oldest cosmetic procedures performed as it has been
used for centuries to improve skin texture, even pigmentation,
and reduce wrinkles. With this procedure, the surgeon sands
away layers of skin to improve wrinkles and blemishes. The
treated areas will be raw. Typically, the skin on the face
heals over in about seven days. Some areas may take up to
ten days to completely heal. During this time, one must apply
a Vaseline-like ointment to the skin several times daily In
nearly all cases, no it does not hurt. Some surgeons use a
cold spray to numb the skin. Other surgeons prefer to inject
the areas to be treated with anesthetic. Others prefer to
have the patients undergo conscious sedation.
Most patients complain of mild to moderate discomfort that
peaks about 24 hours after the procedure. The dermabrasion
procedure requires skill and experience to perform well. Additionally,
dermabrasion poses a health risk to operating room personnel
as the patient's blood is aerosolized and remains in the room
for hours. There is an additional risk for discoloration.
Excessive scar tissue (keloid or hypertrophic scars) can develop
in some individuals. These can be treated with injections
or cortisone creams.
