Is It Safe to Have Dermabrasion After Having Laser Treatments Prior? (Photos) Hi there. 2 times l ve done CO 2 laser years ago. Last time it was in 2009 but cant see big result. Now I decided to take a dermabrasion, but worry about my prior treatments. Dermabrasion after laser is disaster, they say. Any good advices about it. Thanks

A: Dermabrasion may improve your scarring

Although I do not find CO2 laser helpful for acne scarring; nonetheless, you can proceed with Dermabrasion as long as you allow 12-18 mos. to elapse before treatment. Be prepared for pigmentation changes in your skin, which could be permanent. Avoid sun and use SPF for 1 year after Dermabrasion. Dr. G

Eczema and Dermabrasion I have had what has been diagnosed as lichen striata on the back of my left thigh since i was 14. I am now 21 and I am totally frustrated. I used make up to cover it and it works well but I just want to be free again. The skin on the rest of my body is perfect. A dermo had suggested dermabrasion on my leg but my parents thought that it was too risky. What do you think? What other treatments are out there? I am so depressed about this.

A: Dermabrasion is not recommended for legs

Your condition requires a low potency steroid cream topically and may benefit form Pulse Dye Laser. The key is cool touch therapy, as lichen can undergo Koebner phenomenon--a worsening with harsh treatments like DB. We have improved these conditions with pulse laser light therapy. There is hope. --Dr. G

What is Dermaplaning? can an expert explain more about the treatment called dermaplane

A: Dermaplaning defined

Dermaplaning is a technique where the outer layers of skin are exfoliated with the use of a blade. Dermaplaning is an effective way to resurface the skin. However, care must be taken to remain only the superficial layer of the skin. When the blade enters the deeper layers of the dermis you can expect small areas of pinpoint bleeding. For this reason, dermaplaning should be done by a physician or under direct physician supervision.
