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: Does it hurt to have dermabrasion?

After your skin is anesthetized you should not have any discomfort but will feel tactle sensation such as pressure and touch. After the procedure you will have onlly minimal discomfort as long as you keep it covered with ointment.
