Dermabrasion (Beauty)

A procedure in which the skin is sanded to improve its texture. Microdermabrasion uses a type of sand to abrade the skin, usually done by an esthetician or a cosmetic doctor. Cosmetic physicians can perform a deeper type of dermabrasion using small burrs or wires to remove the outer layers of the skin.

Dermabrasion (Cosmetic Surgery)

This cosmetic procedure involves the use of an abrasive tool or material to remove the surface layer of facial skin. Dermabrasion is effective at smoothing blemishes such as acne scars.

Dermabrasion (Day Spa)

Procedure for smoothing skin by abrading the outer layer with a rotating metal wire.

Dermabrasion (Dermatology)

Used to minimize small scars, minor skin surface irregularities, surgical scars, and acne scars. As the name implies, dermabrasion involves removing the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that "abrades" the skin. As the skin heals from the procedure, the surface appears smoother and fresher.

Dermabrasion (Health)

A procedure used to minimize small scars, minor skin surface irregularities, surgical scars, and acne scars. As the name implies, dermabrasion involves removing the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that "abrades" the skin. As the skin heals from the procedure, the surface appears smoother and fresher.

Dermabrasion (Health and Beauty)

Dermabrasion (Medical)

Removal of the surface layer of skin with a sanding wheel to treat scarring or to remove tattoos

Dermabrasion (Plastic Surgery)

Dermabrasion is a procedure in which a high-speed rotary wheel, similar to fine-grained sandpaper, is used to abrade the skin. It may be recommended when there is extensive sun damage and heavy skin wrinkling. In addition, dermabrasion can be used to improve the texture of pockmarked skin resulting from severe acne or chicken pox. Following treatment, the skin should appear firmer and smoother, but permanent pigment changes may occur.

Dermabrasion (Rosacea)

A resurfacing technique used especially to treat deep defects of the skin such as acne scars, heavy wrinkles and the disfiguring effects of skin conditions, such as rosacea. The procedure involves the mechanical sanding of the upper layers of the skin. With dermabrasion, a new layer of skin replaces the abraded skin during healing, resulting in a smoother appearance.

Dermabrasion (Skin Cancer)

Used to minimize small scars, minor skin surface irregularities, surgical scars, and acne scars. As the name implies, dermabrasion involves removing the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that "abrades" the skin. As the skin heals from the procedure, the surface appears smoother and fresher.

Dermabrasion (Spa)

Dermabrasion is not a new technique -- it has long been used to treat scars from acne or trauma as well as fine wrinkling. Its use for treatment of fine wrinkling has been supplanted by most of the lasers and topical chemical agents. It still is an effective treatment for scars, since it rounds out depressed or elevated scars. Dermabrasion has similar effects in increasing collagen and elastin as the carbon dioxide laser, erbium laser and chemical peels. The risks of dermabrasion can be depigmentation, infection, scarring and persistent redness.
