Dermabrasion/ Dermasanding is a surgical procedure used to treat wrinkles and certain pigment marks caused by sun damage, however more and more people are choosing lasers instead of dermabrasion to resurface their skin. It can also be used to remove some tattoos, although lasers are more commonly used for this today as well.
The procedure involves scraping away the outermost layer of the skin with a rough wire brush, a tool containing diamond particles, or a hand-held instrument which resembles an electric razor. As the paper rotates, the skin is “sanded down”. The scraping continues until the surgeon reaches the safest level that will make a scar or wrinkle less visible. The skin which has been skimmed by the machine then heals, producing tighter skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and scars.
Most patients heal within 9 or 10 days and are generally presentable to the general public after this period. However, healing can be delayed in older patients, or if you have any post-operative infection. Redness of the skin can take 3 months or so to fade.
