By CD Mohatta Platinum Quality Author
Acne scars can be easily removed with dermabrasion. Acne scars are a big cosmetic problem and those who have them all looking for ways to get rid of them at a minimum cost and pain. Dermabrasion is an effective procedure for removing acne scars.
Dermabrasion is a simple procedure. In this procedure, scars, wrinkles and pigmentation are treated. A small abrasive wheel or brush rotating at a high speed is used by the doctor to abrade or remove the skin with the wheel. This is a very easy way to remove acne scars.
Dermabrasion is a mechanical procedure. If you have used a sand paper, you will quickly understand what dermabrasion is. Once the old skin with acne scars is removed, new skin will form in some days. The new skin will be without any acne scars. The healing depends upon the area treated and the depth of the abrasion. This procedure may also swell your skin for some time, but slowly as the new skin forms, the problems go away and you can begin with your work again.
Before your doctor undertakes this procedure for you to treat acne scars, he/she will find out about your medical history. This will include finding about any active skin problems you might be having. If you have herpes simplex, acne, rosacea or any such problem, you may have to wait till that problem resolves. Your scar-forming tendency is considered. If you have keloid-forming tendency, you may not be a good candidate for dermabrasion. If you are taking isotretinoin tablets, you may have to wait for some time after you stop taking it. For those with history of cold sores or herpes simplex, an anti-viral treatment may be prescribed. This procedure is only for depressed acne scars.
The procedure may be conducted in your doctor's surgery or hospital setting. For small areas, local anesthetics are used, while for larger areas, general anesthesia is preferred. The time of procedure will also depend upon the total area to be abraded. The doctor will remove skin to the extent so that the abrasion reaches the depth of the acne scar. That will ensure removal of acne scar. Your doctor will dress up the wound and give you instructions about after-operative care. You may feel stinging sensation, swelling and red skin for some days. You must report every side effect to your doctor. As the new skin grows, you will feel some tingling sensation. Keep yourself protected from the sun as much as possible to avoid pigmentation problem in the treated area in the first three months. After some days as new skin forms you will find that your scars have disappeared.
