Dermabrassion is the surgical procedure that can smooth the face and the wrinkles using a special device, dermabrator, which treats layers of damaged skin. It softens lines around the eyes and mouth and minimizes facial scars and unevenly pigmented areas. The length of the procedure takes a few minutes to 1/2 hour. It can be performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient basis. After the treatment you will have temporary discomfort, lightening of treated skin and acute sun sensitivity. Pinkness or redness in skin may persist for up to 3 months. Recovery: Back to work: 2 weeks. More strenuous activities: 4-6 weeks.
