Dermabrasion

 

 

Overview of Dermabrasion

 

Dermabrasion is the process of mechanically scraping off the top layers of skin in order to smooth out skin irregularities and force the skin to regrow healthier, thicker collagen. When the top layer of the skin is removed, it tends to regrow collagen more equally throughout, resulting in a smoother appearance.

 

The primary goal of dermabrasion is to help smooth out skin, but it also does a very good job of creating a healthier, glowing skin. The reason for this is that when the skin is reforming, it grows back with a better blood supply. Because babies have a tremendous blood supply to their skin, their skin appears very healthy.

 

A further advantage of dermabrasion is that it tends to shrink pore size. This may be due to realignment of the collagen fibers within the dermis.

 

Dermabrasion is usually performed on the face alone, but can be combined with other procedures. It is helpful to transplant fat underneath the scar to efface the scar and then dermabrade over it. This is the best treatment we have for acne scar treatment. Another use of dermabrasion, with or without a fat transplantation, is to reduce the wrinkles around the mouth seen primarily with aging.
