Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a skin cosmetic surgery in which the outermost or superficial layers of the skin are removed using a fine abrasive that is gently applied to the skin.

This treatment is usually repeated at intervals and leads to the formation of a new layer of skin that is smoother and younger.

Microdermabrasion is used to treat the following conditions:

Wrinkles and fine lines

Opaque skin

Mild acne scars

Light damage caused by sunlight that leads to hyperpigmentation or age spots

Large pores

This procedure takes about 45 minutes on average, usually without the need for anesthesia. This includes pre-cleansing the skin to remove any makeup or other excess material.

Treatment plan

The outermost layers of the epidermis are non-vascular, which means that bleeding during the operation is minimal. Six treatments are usually recommended at 2-week intervals for the first 12 weeks to get the maximum effect.

After the operation, the skin may appear red and there may be a slight discomfort for a short time. After the operation, the use of sunscreen is mandatory or the person should not be exposed to sunlight for several days.

Microscopic bruising or bleeding is rare and is usually due to excessive, prolonged pressure. Wounds are very rare and the infection is virtually unknown unless the patient has active herpes, warts or wart lesions. Rosacea lesions may sometimes become active after microdermabrasion.
