Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that involves mechanically removing the outer layer of the skin. It is often used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing scars, fine wrinkles, and other skin irregularities. The procedure is usually performed by a dermatologist or trained skin care professional.

During dermabrasion, a high-speed rotary instrument is used to remove the outer layers of skin. This can be achieved using various abrasive materials such as wire brushes or diamond discs. The depth of the abrasion is controlled by the pressure applied and the type of instrument used.
