Dermabrasions

Dermabrasions

Skin resurfacing involves removing the superficial layer of the skin and allowing the raw skin beneath to heal itself. This stimulates the production of new collagen, which rejuvenates the skin, resulting in a smoother skin surface. During this process minor blemishes and scars are also removed.

Dermabrasion or “sanding” of the skin is a technique used in selected cases and sites to remove irregularities in the skin surface. Dermabrasion is performed by using a rotating wire brush or diamond wheel to plane down the irregular area. The smooth, even surface that results, produces an improved appearance.
