Increasingly popular for reducing skin imperfections, dermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure that attacks the upper layers of the epidermis and stimulates cell renewal. Highly effective against wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation spots and scars, this technique is equally suitable for all skin types. All the more reason to give it a try.
Dermabrasion for scars
Dermabrasion is effective against many skin imperfections. It is particularly recommended for treating recent scars and traces of acne. Techniques of different intensities allow each skin problem to be treated appropriately, most often with :
- Abrasion of superficial to deep layers of the epidermis
- Activation of elastin and collagen production for skin regeneration
- A possible injection of active ingredients to soothe and boost the skin
In the case of pronounced scars, more invasive treatments enable deep renewal of the skin and a particularly convincing smoothing effect. From chemical peels to lasers, different levels of abrasion can be achieved.
Understanding and preparing your dermabrasion treatment
The intensity of the peel depends on the depth of the marks to be treated. The right treatment renews the dermis over time, effectively erasing any irregularities.
The different dermabrasion techniques
Dermabrasion is available in several techniques, including :
- Chemical dermabrasion, which uses fruit acids to treat a large proportion of skin blemishes
- Radiofrequency dermabrasion or Legato III, which combines an abrasive action with a dermal stimulation operation.
- Fractional laser dermabrasion, which can be used for both raised scars and sunken acne marks
Who should undergo dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is non-surgical and can be used on all skin types. However, treatment should be avoided in the case of very sensitive skin, a weakened immune system or pregnancy.
In all cases, the intensity of the treatment must be defined in advance by the doctor, depending on the problem to be treated. Skincare Agency’s medical teams will prepare a personalized, customized treatment that respects the skin as much as possible.
“Dermabrasion works on all fronts: anti-aging effect, elimination of scars, stretch marks… with sometimes spectacular results.”
Rapid effects and pronounced smoothing of skin changes
The results of dermabrasion are clearly visible, both in terms of scarring and the erasing of wrinkles and other signs of aging. Initial results can be observed after 3 weeks, and become more pronounced the longer the treatment is repeated. To fully renew the skin,1 to 3 sessions spaced 1 month apart are required.
The expert’s opinion
Boosting the skin while respecting it is the aim of dermabrasion and the constant concern of your medical team at Skincare Agency.
Each session is preceded by a personalized skin examination. The treatment selected should offer the level of abrasion necessary to erase scars, and not aggress the skin in depth.
In order to respect the balance of the dermis and stimulate it as effectively as possible, Skincare Agency uses innovative products of proven quality, and continually trains in the techniques of aesthetic skin medicine. In this way, we combine efficiency and well-being for every patient.
