About the procedure
Dermabrasion removes layers of skin in a controlled way using an abrasive instrument. It differs from superficial microdermabrasion and involves a healing period. It may be considered for certain scars or irregularities of the skin surface.
Your consultation
The clinician assesses depth, pigmentation, healing history and current treatments. The consultation covers alternatives, anaesthesia and the limits of correction for the area concerned.
What to expect
- Assess the skin and define the treatment area.
- Prepare and carry out controlled abrasion under the agreed medical plan.
- Provide wound-care guidance and reviews during healing.
Recovery and follow-up
Skin renewal takes time, and redness may outlast the initial healing phase. Activity planning and individual care instructions are discussed before the procedure.
What to consider
Pigmentation changes, infection and scarring are possible. The aim is improvement rather than guaranteed scar removal.
Common questions
Is it the same as a diamond facial peel?
No. Microdermabrasion is more superficial; the choice depends on the depth of the concern and acceptable recovery.
Can any scar be treated?
Different scars respond to different methods. Another treatment or a staged approach may be more suitable.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
