The dermabrasion surgery can take up to an hour with local anesthetic and sedation. Dermabrasion helps to “refinish” the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping, giving the skin a smoother appearance. Dermabrasion can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face, alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a face lift, scar removal or revision, or a chemical peel.

You may already have a surgeon or you might be looking at financing options first, either way SurgeryLoans.com can help you understand your options.

Recovery

Eating and talking will be difficult. A scab or crust will form over the treated area as it begins to heal and this will fall off as a new layer of tighter, pinker skin forms underneath. Your face may itch as the new skin begins to grow. The pinkness will take about three months to fully fade.

Dermabrasion recovery times are normally around two weeks. You should be able to go back to work two to three weeks after your dermabrasion treatment. Strenuous activities may need to be postponed for four to six weeks. Wearing sunscreen when outside for at least six months is recommended.
