Dermabrasion

Skin resurfacing or dermabrasion is a way to give yourself a more youthful appearance, remove imperfections and to restore your skin’s healthy glow.

Suppose you have facial scarring following acne or sun damage, then dermabrasion can certainly help remove these imperfections.

In dermabrasion, we will use a hand-held tool to pass a wash of fine, crystals over your skin to remove the outer layers. What happens is this advanced exfoliating process improves the tone and texture of the skin and reveals new, living skin cells that are soft and smooth. This procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic.

Generally, you should be able to go home on the same day that you have your treatment. We would advise you to avoid any strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks, and it’s important to try and get into the habit of wearing sun screen to protect your new, delicate skin.
