WHAT IS DERMABRAISON?
Dermabrasion has been around for many decades and not to be confused with microdermabraison or power peel. Dermabrasion removes damaged skin and allows new skin to grow in its place. Initially the skin is either frozen or numbed, then machines with quickly rotating diamond edged wheels are normally used and depending on how coarse the wheel is, your doctor will achieve a less or more substantial effect. The procedure usually takes about half an hour to an hour.
RECOVERY TIME
Following the procedure, your skin will look scraped, and a scab will form. Swelling usually occurs. This lasts for a few days.
For several weeks after the scabbing has fallen off, your skin will appear reddish.
