Dermabrasion
is a surgical procedure to improve and minimize the appearance of acne scars, wrinkled skin and correct scars resulting from an injury. This procedure involves mechanically scraping off the top layers of the skin using a special surgical instrument. The removal of superficial skin makes a healthier skin to come up and produce smoother texture and tighter skin. The surgery takes around one hour under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Expect the skin to be red and swollen after the surgery. Swelling will go down within 2 to 3 weeks and may cause aching, tingling, and itching as the new skin begins to grow. External activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks and it is important to protect the skin until the pigment has completely returned.
Chemical Peeling
is a procedure that uses a chemical solution applied to the surface of the skin to peel away the top cell layers which will be replaced during the healing process with a fresh and new skin surface. This is good for treating melasma, freckles, fine lines and wrinkles, facial blemishes, uneven skin pigmentation, shallow acne scars and discoloration from acne or sun damage. Deeper scars and wrinkles require more treatments. Chemical peeling can also treat whiteheads and blackheads that are seen with acne. The procedure is non-invasive and results will give a smoother, softer, tighter and youthful looking skin.
