Stellen Sie eine Frage

Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a rapidly rotating device to sand the outer layers of skin. After dermabrasion, the skin that grows back is usually smoother and younger looking.

Dermabrasion can decrease the appearance of fine facial lines and improve the look of scars, such as those caused by acne. Dermabrasion can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.

During dermabrasion, your skin will be numbed with anesthetics. You might also have the option of taking a sedative or receiving general anesthetic, depending on the extent of your treatment.

Skin treated with dermabrasion will be sensitive and bright pink for several weeks. The pinkness will take about three months to fade.

Dermabrasion can be used to treat or remove:

  • Scars caused by acne, surgery or injuries
  • Fine wrinkles, especially those around the mouth
  • Sun-damaged skin, including age spots
  • Tattoos
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Swelling and redness of the nose (rhinophyma)
  • Potentially precancerous skin patches (actinic keratoses)

After dermabrasion, your new skin will be sensitive and red. Swelling will begin to decrease within a few days to a week, but can last for weeks or even months. The pinkness of your skin will likely take about three months to fade.

Once the treated area begins to heal, you'll notice that your skin looks smoother. Protect your skin from the sun for at least six to 12 months to prevent permanent changes in skin color.

If dark skin coloring is a concern after healing is complete, your doctor might prescribe hydroquinone — a bleaching agent — to help even out your skin tone.

Keep in mind that dermabrasion results might not be permanent. As you age, you'll continue to acquire lines by squinting and smiling. New sun damage also can reverse your results.
