Dermabrasion and chemical peeling

are first line treatments for skin damaged by severe acne. Irregularities even out. The skin condition is generally improved. During healing, which takes 1 to 2 weeks, the newly formed collagen smoothens the skin, with permanent result. Everything should be done to stabilize active acne before treatment in order to prevent new scarring occurring after treatment.

Micro-dermabrasion

consists of a medical “sand blasting” technique whereby tiny aluminum particles are ejected onto the skin, cleaning all pores deeply and facilitating improved skin condition. A little redness for a few hours is the only negative after effect. Within 24 hours the refreshning effect is noticeable. This treatment is particularly suited for lackluster skin and for acne-prone sebaceous skin. Micro-dermabrasion can be repeated on a monthly basis as deep skin cleansing procedure.
