Dermabrasion

 

 

Dr. Cruise's Philosophy Regarding Dermabrasion

 

As pointed out in the benefits section, the best purpose for dermabrasion is to smooth irregular skin. It is true that it can be used for facial rejuvenation but, in general, I prefer chemical peeling or laser skin resurfacing for this.

 

Dermabrasion is probably the best modality for smoothing out deeply-pitted acne scars. It will not get rid of the scar completely, but it certainly will improve it and it can be repeated if necessary. If an acne scar is very deep, it is best to surgically cut it out and meticulously suture back the normal margins. At a later date, the entire area would be dermabraded to complete the process.

 

An exciting advance in depressed scar repair is to transplant fat, which pops the scar up, and then to dermabrade the entire area. This combination is the best treatment modality.

 

Sometimes, the best way to correct unfavorable scars is to cut them out and repair them as meticulously as possible. Then, if necessary, dermabrade the entire area. A consultation is necessary to see what treatment is best for you.
