Dermabrasion - A Brief Overview
Dermabrasion is technically a surgical technique, although it is minimally invasive. It’s used to treat problems with the skin that include scars, pock marks, wrinkles and rough surfaces that develop over time because of aging, a prior case of acne or even because of prior injuries to that region. With dermabrasion San Diego and La Jolla patients can treat the entire face or limited parts of it that contain the imperfections that people want removed. Specifically, this treatment involves using a special instrument that’s applied to the portions of the face that someone wants to have treated. This instrument serves to smooth out the rough edges of imperfect skin that tend to form, and has proven to be quite useful in minimizing the scarring that’s left behind after a case of acne or even from injuries. Dermabrasion is also used by men and women of all ages, and the only apparent restraints in place other than a problematic medical history would be an active case of acne, as treating facial skin in that condition can lead to serious infections. However, once the acne is no longer active, patients can obtain a smooth-looking face with this technique.
