Dermabrasion
is a general procedure that can reduce the appearance of scars,
some facial flaws or wrinkles by exfolliating and removing the
topmost layers of skin with a rotating facial brush.
Dermabrasion
is performed with a special hand held device known as a dermabrator.
Dermabrasion helps refinish the top layers of the skin through
an exfolliating process which sharpens down the edges of a surface
giving the skin a much smoother appearance. Dermabrasion can
be performed in either small areas of the face or the entire
face itself. Although the dermabrasion process can give your
skin a smoother more youthful look it also can help reduce aging,
acne scars, and sun spots, and wrinkles. A dermabrasion does
not involve any trauma to the skin there will not be any required
down time.
Dr
Byun will place you under general anesthesia for procedures
that include deep surgical dermabrasion which usually cause
heavy discomfort.
After
the dermabrasion procedure is complete the skin will experience
redness. After the procedure the patient takes about 3 to 5
days for healing time. Any swelling or pain that may occur will
be maintained by medication that can be prescribed by the physician
if needed.
