Facial Dermabrasion
Operation Description
The simplest answer to the question of what facial dermabrasion is is that it is a procedure during which the superficial layer of the skin is removed. A special rotating device is used for this procedure. The goal of dermabrasion is to renew the facial skin by eliminating all existing irregularities, leaving the face looking fresher, radiant, and rejuvenated.
This procedure can be performed on the entire face or specific facial areas, either alone or in combination with other treatments, such as chemical peels or facelifts.

Preparation
Facial dermabrasion does not involve any special preparation, except for assessing the condition of the skin by the doctor when deciding which type of anesthesia to use. It is advisable to avoid sunbathing, alcohol consumption, and use of aggressive cosmetics and makeup before the treatment to ensure that the skin is as clean as possible and ready for the procedure. It is also advisable to avoid aspirin and herbal supplements that may affect blood coagulation, and smokers should quit smoking 1 to 2 weeks before the intervention for the procedure to proceed as smoothly as possible.
Operation time
Facial dermabrasion is usually performed under local anesthesia, and if necessary, with short-term sedation, depending on the severity of the problem being treated. Using a special diamond particle grinder, the surgeon removes the superficial layer of the skin until all the irregularities being treated are eliminated. Afterward, the face is treated with special preparations, and the intervention is completed.
Depending on the surface of the skin, as well as the depth of scars, wrinkles, or the intensity of hyperpigmentation, the procedure can take from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. Acne scars are usually the most demanding, so if they are deeper, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure to completely remove them.
Recovery
After diamond dermabrasion of the face, you can go home and return to your daily activities. There may be mild redness and swelling, as well as a feeling of tightening or tingling and mild pain, which will be controlled with medication if necessary. These symptoms subside after 2-3 days. As the skin recovers, crusts will form on the surface, which will gradually fall off, and a new layer of skin will form. This new layer is pinkish and visibly shinier and more radiant.
Safety precautions
After facial dermabrasion, it is advisable to avoid intense physical activity, swimming pools, and saunas. The face should not be excessively exposed to the sun, wind, and cold. To maintain the results, the face must be cared for as advised by the doctors at Colić Hospital.
Complications after facial dermabrasion are very rare, and if they occur, the usual reason is incomplete adherence to the doctor's advice before and after the procedure. Some of these complications include hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, as well as the formation of scar tissue in the form of keloid scars.
