How To Look Younger With Dermabrasion?
The procedure may be conducted in your doctor’s surgery or hospital setting. For small areas of skin, local anesthetics are used, while for larger areas, general anesthesia is preferred. The time of the procedure also depends on the total area to be abraded or removed. Your skin will be frozen so that it becomes suitable for dermabrasion. Then your doctor will remove the skin till it reaches the depth of the wrinkle or blemish so that it doesn’t reoccur.
After the procedure, the skin looks red as if it is sunburnt and there may be some swelling and stinging sensation too. Your skin will heal depending upon the area treated and the depth of the abrasion. But mostly, it takes up to two weeks. You will also feel a tingling sensation as your new skin develops. Your doctor will guide you on what you should do to take care of your skin after the procedure. One thing you must remember is that you should always use sunscreen to avoid pigmentation. But if possible you should avoid going out in the sun for the first three months.
