Dermabrasion
Posted in Uncategorized by: adminWelcome to your surgery guide for Dermabrasion. We’ve put together everything you need to know from the very basics to information about finding a doctor and recovering from surgery. The technique takes its origin from ancient Egypt in 1500 B.C. where healers used a form of sandpaper to even out scars. Today the technique has seen over 3500 years of evolution. Dermabrasion - This technique is also widely used for removing facial rhytids and for treating various other skin conditions. Make no mistake, dude.
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 a facelift or face peel. Dermabrasion is not an appropriate treatment for some people.
Conditions treated by dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is used to treat a range of skin complaints including:
- Facial scars (excluding burn scars)
- Scarring from prior surgery
- Wrinkles and frown lines
- Pre-cancerous skin growths (keratoses)
- Pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Tattoos
- Age (liver) spots.
Factors that affect the depth of the resurfacing include how coarse the burr or brush is, how quickly it rotates, how much pressure is applied and for how long, and the condition and features of your skin.
When I first had dermabrasion, microderm was a virtually unknown procedure. For the deep scar I had, though, micodermabrasion couldn’t have helped me anyway and derma abrasion was the procedure I settled for in the end. The cost for dermabrasion procedures depends on the extent of damage needing to be repaired and other variables, but typical costs range between $3000 and $4000.
