Dermabrasion

Introduction

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure for enhancing skin texture, scar removal and correction of skin abnormalities. Measures to achieve this treatment include the removal of the skin’s outermost layer by a high-speed rotating tool, resulting in new cutaneous growth and a beautification effect on the skin. Dermatologists widely employ it for acne scars, fine wrinkles, and solar pigmentation; hence, they widely select it in the field of dermatology. They characterize the treatment as efficient in correcting defects and improving the quality of the skin.

In contrast to chemical peels or laser treatments, dermabrasion physically exfoliates the superficial layer of skin to expose underlying fresh, healthy-looking skin. They usually administer the treatment to the face, but they can also apply it to other parts of the body. The procedure is most useful for patients looking for sustained improvement of skin quality especially deep scars, skin texture irregularities or chronic sun damage.

What is Dermabrasion?

Dermabrasion is a superficial skin-resurfacing technique that physically exfoliates the surface of the skin’s outermost layer. This mechanical exfoliation, followed by its end (process), promotes the generation of collagen and improves the look of the skin. Dermatologists or plastic surgeons handle the procedure, which patients with deep scars, asymmetry of skin, or sun-damaged skin commonly use.

Dermabrasion contrasts with microdermabrasion, a less abrasive technique that impacts mainly the uppermost layers of skin only. Although microdermabrasion is appropriate for relatively light skin problems and routine maintenance, dermabrasion is more abrasive and offers a more permanent result. The medical staff usually administers the therapy under local or sedation anesthesia, according to the size of the area to be treated.

Why is Dermabrasion Needed?

Doctors perform dermabrasion for several reasons, including:

  • Reducing acne and surgical scars
  • Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Treating hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Improving sun-damaged skin
  • Removing precancerous growths (actinic keratosis)
  • Smoothing out rough or thickened skin areas

This technique is particularly useful in patients with keloid or incised scarring not amenable to alternative treatments. Through stimulation of collagen synthesis, dermabrasion not only enhances skin elestiolicity and texture but also results in a young and renewed appearance.

Types of Dermabrasion

  • Traditional Dermabrasion: One that utilizes a rotating wire brush or diamond wheel to shed layers of the skin.
  • Microdermabrasion: Reimagining this traditional skincare technique using a less invasive approach via a small crystal or a diamond tip to softly exfoliate the skin’s surface.
  • Laser Dermabrasion: Applies laser technology to comparable endpoints with greater accuracy and controlled depth.

Procedure Steps

  • Consultation: A dermatologist assesses the patient’s skin type and condition.
  • Preparation: The skin is cleansed and a local anesthetic or numbing agent is placed.
  • Exfoliation: A rotary device causes controlled exfoliation of the skin’s outermost layer.
  • Cooling & Dressing: The treated area is cryoinjured and covered with a protective dressing.
  • Recovery: Post-procedure skincare instructions are provided to ensure proper healing.

The whole process could take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on where someone does it. Several patients may need several treatment sessions for the best outcome, especially patients with deep scars or deep wrinkles.

Benefits of Dermabrasion

  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Reduces visible scars and pigmentation
  • Enhances collagen production for firmer skin
  • Non-invasive with minimal downtime
  • Long-lasting results with proper skincare
  • Helps in the treatment of actinic keratosis

It can be used in combination with other skin care products for better outcomes.

Cost of Dermabrasion 

  • USA: $2,000 – $4,000 per session
  • UK: $1,800-$3,500 per session
  • India: $600 – $2,500 per session
  • Turkey: $900 – $2,200 per session

  • Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram
  • Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi

Risks and Complications

Although dermabrasion is generally safe, some risks include:

  • Redness and swelling post-procedure
  • Temporary skin sensitivity
  • Scarring in rare cases
  • Infection if post-care instructions are not followed
  • Hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone

Patients belonging to darker skin tones could be at risk for pigmentation alterations and should discuss alternatives to the treatment with the dermatologist.

Recovery

  1. Initial redness subsides in 7-10 days.
  2. Complete healing takes about 4-6 weeks.
  3. Patients also need to protect themselves from direct sunlight and apply sunscreen diligently.
  4. Moisturizing and gentle skincare help in faster recovery.
  5. Cosmetic application should be discouraged for at least 1 week postoperatively.
