Dermabrasion is usually performed in a doctor’s office or an outpatient facility. You may be admitted to a hospital if you need substantial procedures done. Wash your face the day of your surgery. Makeup and face creams should be avoided.
Because you’ll have a face dressing following your treatment, wear garments that don’t have to be pulled over your head. To reduce feeling, your medical staff will administer anaesthetic or sedative. Ask a member of your care team if you have any queries.
During the process, the doctor applies consistent, mild pressure to the skin with a small motorised device. The device’s tip is an abrasive wheel or brush that removes the outer layers of skin.
Depending on how much skin is being treated, dermabrasion can take anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour. This is the time it would normally take you to have your lunch, so the procedure can be done at your convenience. If you have significant scarring or a big area of skin to treat, dermabrasion may be performed more than once or in stages.
The treated skin will be coated with a moist, non-stick covering after dermabrasion. Self-care instructions will be given to you to follow at home, and you may be prescribed pain medication. Your doctor will most likely need to see you immediately after treatment to assess your skin and change your dressing.
Change your dressing at home according to your doctor’s instructions. Your doctor will also tell you when you can start washing and applying protective ointments to the treated area on a regular basis. Depending on the complexity of your surgery, you’ll receive different self-care recommendations.
Skin that has been treated will be red and inflamed, In addition you’ll probably experience some burning, tingling, or hurting sensations. As the treated skin begins to heal, a scab or crust will appear. It’s also possible that the new skin’s growth will cause itching. Take prescribed pain medicine or an over-the-counter pain reliever such as aspirin or ibuprofen.
Although you can normally return to work after two weeks, you may opt to stay at home while your dermabrasion heals. For at least four weeks, keep treated areas away from chlorinated pool water. For four to six weeks, your doctor may advise you to avoid active sports, particularly those involving a ball. You can disguise any redness with cosmetics until new skin has completely covered the treated region. Contact your doctor if your treated skin looks to be growing worse after it has begun to heal, becoming increasingly red, elevated, and itching.
Seniors will find that their new skin will be sensitive and red after dermabrasion. Your skin tone may take up to three months to restore to normal. However, you’ll notice that your skin looks smoother, wrinkle free and more youthful when the treated area heals. To avoid lasting skin colour changes, protect your skin from the sun for six to twelve months.
Ask your doctor about prescription hydroquinone a bleaching chemical to help even out your skin tone if it’s blotchy after healing. Keep in mind that the effects of dermabrasion aren’t always permanent. Squinting and smiling will leave lines on your face as you become older. New sun exposure can potentially undo the effects of dermabrasion, as can applying heavy makeup.
Overall this a great procedure, and usually costs from around $120-$150 per treatment.
