Dermabrasion
What happens after your Dermabrasion consultation?
On the day of the procedure, the area to be treated will be cleaned and a local anesthetic applied to the skin before treatment. Ice packs are often applied to the skin for up to 30 minutes.
In the case of deeper Dermabrasion procedures, a cryogenic spray may sometimes be used to harden the skin if the skin is not firm enough.
During the procedure, a rotating burr or brush is used to take off the top layers of skin and gauze is used to stop any bleeding. At the end of the procedure, the area will be covered with a clean dressing or ointment. Dermabrasion is typically performed in your doctor's office or at a surgical outpatient facility.
