Cut Through Acne With Dermabrasion


Dermabrasion was first developed in the early 1950's and was initially used to treat facial scarring. Nowadays, it is used to treat wrinkles as well as certain types of skin lesions. Dermabrasion basically removes the topmost thin layer of the skin.

The area is cleaned thoroughly and is sanded with antiseptic cleansing agent. A numbing agent might be applied to freeze the area to be treated. The doctor then carefully moves the Dermabrasion tool over the affected area to remove the upper thin layers gently till the time he reaches the desired layer to be removed to treat that particular lesion. The procedure takes only a few minutes for small areas while it could take hours for the bigger ones.

There are a few care tips that you will need to follow after going through Dermabrasion:

To avoid any pigmentation in the healed skin, use sunscreen lotions and avoid the sun as much as possible.
If you witness any yellow crusting on your skin, inform your doctor.
Continue antiviral medication to avoid any infections.
Prolonged swelling and redness should immediately be brought under the doctor's notice.
