What is it?
Dermabrasion is a procedure that is used to smooth fine wrinkles and scars left by acne or previous surgery. It involves controlled surgical scraping that ‘refinishes’ the top layers of the skin to give a smoother appearance. Dermabrasion can be performed over the full surface of the face or on small areas, and may be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as facelift or face peel. Dermabrasion is not an appropriate treatment for some people.

Microdermabrasion is a lighter form of dermabrasion known as the “lunchtime facial”, and removes only the topmost layer of skin to reveal fresh skin underneath. While microdermabrasion may not reveal results as dramatic as laser resurfacing.

Recovery time:
There is no recovery time after the microdermabrasion procedure.
