How Painful is Dermabrasion on a Scale of 1 to 10? The research I did on dermabrasion shows that a metal wheel spins across your skin, peeling away the surface. Kind of like a mini-scalping. I'm guessing on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 = giving birth), dermabrasion is a 7. Is this to pessimistic or optimistic? I've also heard varying advice on recovery time. Some people say you're back to work in 1 week, others argue 3 weeks. That's a big difference for me. Can someone offer guidance here?

A: Almost no pain to dermabrasion

You do not indicate what it is that you want dermabraded? Your whole face or just one area of concern?

In my office we routinely perform Dermabrasion on patent's noses and cheeks using only topical anesthetic. I have never had any patient indicate it was uncomfortable. This compares to an ablative laser resurfacing where in-spite of local and topical anesthetic patients indicate significant pain during the procedure.
