| Dermabrasion is a traditional skin-clearing
procedure that has been widely used in practice since the early 1980s. Sometimes called
surgical skin planing, it commonly involves removal or sanding of the skin with a rotary
abrasive instrument. The abrasive or planing action evens out the skin, and a new layer of
fresh skin replaces the abraded skin. This procedure is usually reserved for extensive acne
scarring and deep wrinkles. Due to its mechanical nature, healing and recovery are lengthy,
with the treated area remaining red and flushed for an extended period of time.
Microdermabrasion, in contrast, is a more recently introduced treatment. It is particularly
popular among individuals with mild skin damage seeking to preserve and maintain a youthful
complexion. Essentially, microdermabrasion involves brushing the face with sterile micro-particles
to abrade or rub off the very top skin layer, then vacuuming the particles and derma braded skin
away. Experts believe the procedure works best to polish and soften fine lines and dull skin texture.
In most cases, a minimum of four to five initial treatments, seven to ten days apart, are necessary
to achieve good results.
Microdermabrasion is effective against different problems:
- Treating acne blemishes
- Cleaning enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads
- Restoring a healthy, smooth feel to skin
- Helping fight signs of aging
