DERMABRASION

This is a mechanical abrasion of the skin carried out under local anaesthetic. The results are comparable to those of a laser treatment, except for the contour of the eyes where this technique cannot be used. It produces excellent results, especially on fine wrinkles around the lips, or for treating acne wrinkles.

Dermabrasion cannot be used for all skin types and your doctor will choose the most appropriate technique for your own particular case. The recovery process is exactly the same as for laser resurfacing and the same precautions need to be taken. After the treatment, the patient is advised not to expose him or herself to the sun at all for a number of months.
