    Is Dermabrasion Right For Your Skin?

    Dermal abrasion, or surgical planning of the skin, is done in selected patients with facial disfigurements from scars resulting from acne, trauma, tattoo, nevi, freckles, and chickenpox or smallpox.

    The regimen involves the elimination of the epidermis and some superficial dermis while reserving ample of the dermis to enable re-epithelialization of the dermabraded areas. Results are best in the face, because it's rich in intra-dermal epithelial elements.

    Surgical planning or dermabrasion is performed either manually with coarse abrasive paper, or mechanically with an abrader or a rapidly rotating wire brush.

    Patient Instruction and Preparation

    The primary reason for undergoing dermabrasion is to improve the appearance.

    Before the way will begin, the surgeon explains to the patient what he can expect from dermabrasion. The patient should also be informed about the nature of the postoperative dressing, the discomforts he may experience, and how long it will take before his tissues will look common again.

    Normally, the extent of the surface to be planed will determine whether the regimen takes place in the surgeon’s office, the clinic, or the hospital. In the bulk cases, a normal anesthetic is used and the patient is hospitalized.

    The skin is thoroughly absolved for various days before the surgery. Shaving is not important in the female, but with the males, it's important to shave their face on the morning of the surgery.

    In addition to normal anesthesia, the use of a topical spray anesthetic for stabilizing and stiffening the skin may be desirable. The depth of planning can be readily gauged and the anesthetized area is momentarily bloodless. The superficial layers of skin are removed by an abrasive machine, usually known as the Dermabrader, or the sandpapering.

    During and after planning, copious saline irrigations eradicate debris and enable for inspection.

    Is It Right For Everybody’s Skin?

    Even if dermabrasion is one of the best surgeries required to clear the skin from scars from acne and other skin problems, there are still some reasons that need to be considered before jumping into conclusions. These reasons are very necessary to take into considerations because not all skin type is created equal. Hence, the effects may vary.

    Here are some of the reasons that need to be considered before applying dermabrasion.

    1. The skin color

    People who have dark skins tend to have permanent discoloration or blotchiness after the surgery. Therefore, it will be better not to opt of dermabrasion if the skin falls under this category.

    2. The skin’s condition

    There are people who are born with sensitive skins. This means that their skins will instantly experience allergic reactions to some chemicals or treatments that the skin cannot endure.

    In this manner, people who have sensitive skins should not turn to dermabrasions.

    3. People who have acne that are on its active stage are not permitted for dermabrasion.

    If the person has acne that is currently on its active stage, it's best not to try dermabrasion. This is because there is the danger of infection due to the freshness of the open skin. Ruptured or open skin would be easily penetrated by bacteria that cause infection.

    This is also applicable for people who have burnt skin or those that have previously undergo chemical peel.

    4. Be wary of people who perform dermabrasion.

    Dermabrasion is actually a harmless surgical treatment. However, it requires expertise and familiarity on the way in order to perform it properly.

    Hence, dermabrasion should not be executed by people who still lack some of the needed skills in the execution of the process.

    5. There are skins that have the pronness to develop keloids or excessive benign growth of skin tissues.

    This simply means that for people who usually develop a scar or keloid whenever their skin is damaged, chances are, they would develop the same thing when they undergo dermabrasion.

    However, there are some treatments that can eradicate the scars and keloids, it would still be better to avoid such trouble of getting into another medication. Hence, for people who have skins that fall under this category, it's best not to try dermabrasion.

    All of these things are boiled down to the fact that dermabrasion is not apposite for everybody. Like the other treatments obtainable in the medical field, it should also be analyzed with utmost care before jumping into decisions.

    After all, it's the person’s skin that would be put at risk and not just their money, so, careful considerations is extremely important.
