What Can I Expect During Recovery Following a Dermabrasion Treatment?
After a dermabrasion session, you may notice some swelling, redness, or sensitivity in the treated area. The skin beneath the treated area will be sensitive to sun and other irritants, so it is important to keep the skin protected for the first few weeks after your treatment. Most symptoms fade after the first week or two, while minor redness may persist for several weeks. However, patients are typically able to resume all normal activities within a week of treatment.
What Results Can I Expect from My Dermabrasion Treatment?
The results from your dermabrasion treatment will become increasingly visible as the skin heals. After several weeks, you will notice the full results of your treatment. In some cases, especially for patients who are receiving treatment for scarring, multiple treatment sessions will be necessary. Dr. Contogiannis will let you know what to expect in terms of your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
