Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion — also called mechanical peeling — exfoliates the surface layer of the skin in a controlled manner to renew its appearance. It can be performed on small areas or the entire face, under anesthesia suited to each case.

Goals of the procedure

  • Renew the surface layer of the skin in a controlled manner

  • Treat texture irregularities and superficial scars

  • Apply to localized areas or the entire face

  • Tailor the anesthesia to the extent of the procedure

Every procedure has indications, contraindications, and risks. An individual evaluation with a physician is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Frequently asked questions

What patients usually ask.

How does dermabrasion work?

A rotary instrument — or the manual technique — removes the outermost layer of the skin in a controlled manner, stimulating cell renewal.

What is recovery like?

The skin goes through phases of redness and re-epithelialization, with timelines that vary according to the depth of the treatment. Strict sun protection is essential during this period.

How is it different from a chemical peel?

The principle is the same — renewing layers of the skin — but dermabrasion is mechanical, while a chemical peel uses substances. The choice depends on the indication for each case.

Is it suitable for every skin type?

An evaluation of the skin's phototype and condition determines the indication and the safe parameters for each person.
