I have had microdermabrasion for years. but should i get dermabrasion for longer lasting results? what's the difference between microdermabarsion and dermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a light "peel" that has no downtime. It gives you a freshened look by removing the very top layer of skin cells. It may improve very shallow acne scarring, skin tone and lighten superficial wrinkles. Dermabrasion is much deeper procedure as it removes the skin down to the deeper collagen layer so the skin is fully resurfaced. Some patients have this done around their mouth to smooth out any fine or deep wrinkles or some choose to have their entire face done because of acne scarring. The downtime is generally around 10 days, with some prolonged redness possible in some patients. Once healed (7-10 days) you may cover up any redness with make-up. I would consult with your plastic surgeon to see which procedure would work best for the results you are trying to achieve.
Hi, I'm considering dermabrasion for my acne scars. Most of my scars are 0.2-0.5 mm deep. Is the dermabrasion the right one or should I go for the laser? Thanks.
Dermabrasion for superficial acne scarring can be a very effective method if they are truly surface scars. Other ways to improve acne scarring are by using the Fraxel laser or by excising the scar. The Fraxel laser rejuvenates the skin by stimulating your body's own collagen forming process. Excising the scar is the other option. The scar is excised and sutures are placed to remove the hole in the skin and replace it with a flat line. Then, dermabrasion can smooth out the line. Consult your plastic surgeon to see which method would be appropriate for your needs.
Twenty years ago, I had dermabrasion for vertical lip lines. One line was "erased" forever. There is now a small indentation where it used to be. I have tried everything else over the years, to fill the remaining lines, which have deepened, of course, with age. The last time, my doctor tried something (Sculptesse, maybe) that cost $1000. It didn't do significantly more than other treatments. Is there anything better you can recommend?
Removing vertical lip line wrinkles can be effectively reduced using dermabrasion. It is important that the dermabrasion be performed down to the correct layer or effective removal of the wrinkles will not be achieved. The lighter procedures, such as chemical peel, will not remove the wrinkles fully. After the healing process the skin is rejuvenated and the lip wrinkles are less visible leaving a smooth more youthful appearance. There is also the option of using fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse, but these are often a temporary fix and are done by injection. Consult your surgeon to see what option is best for you.
