Dermabrasion
Are You a Good Candidate for Dermabrasion?
The best candidates for dermabrasion are people who have skin irregularities either from acne, healed cuts, or any other process that has left either a sunken or elevated mark on the skin.
Dermabrasion also has many positive effects on skin rejuvenation but it is probably not the modality of choice. Chemical peeling and laser are used more extensively for this purpose.
You must understand if you are considering dermabrasion that the area dermabraded will look quite unpresentable until it heals, usually 7 to 14 days. Even after it heals it will be quite red for a about another 6 weeks. It may take up to 1 year before the pinkness is completely gone.
People who have been on the drug Accutane should not have dermabrasion within a two-year period of taking the medication. This drug can cause serious healing problems associated with dermabrasion.
