Dermabrasion Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
What will I feel after the Dermabrasion?
Your skin will be moderately red and swollen.
You may experience
difficulty in eating and talking. You will also feel some
burning, tingling, and aching sensation. However, any of these
pains can be controlled with medications. The swelling will
start to subside within a few days to a week after the treatment.
Question:
What skin care should I apply after the Dermabrasion?
Since the pinkness of your skin will take around three months to
fade, non-allergenic makeup is most advisable to wear when you go
out. However, when your new skin is completely re-pigmented,
the color will blend to its surrounding skin, leaving no trace of the
procedure.
Question:
Can I go back to work immediately after Dermabrassion?
Most people resume to work within seven to ten
days after the
procedure. It is important to note that you ought to avoid
excessive direct and indirect sun exposure for the next three to six
months after the Dermabrasion procedure, and use
sunscreen regularly when
you’re outdoors.
