What is "Acne Dermabrasion scar"?

---

Translate in Italian language

Acne Dermabrasion Scar is a traditional skin clearing procedure in which the surface of the skin is removed by abrasion. 

 A high-speed rotary instrument with an abrasive wheel or brush removes the upper layers of the skin and improves irregularities in the skin surface.

It is used to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin.  The aim of this technique is to smoothen the skin to a homogenous appearance which eliminates the height differences causes by sunken and protruding scars.

Your doctor will ask you about your medical history, and give you pre-tratment instructions, including antibiotics to prevent infections.

"Acne Dermabrasion scar" is very painful and usually requires a general anaesthetic or twilight anaesthesia, in which the patient is still partly conscious.

The time that it takes depends on the size and the condition of the area to be treated.

Usually, it is completed in 30 - 60 minutes.

For a few days, the skin is very red. Medications may be prescribed to alleviate any discomfort the patient may have.

In most cases, the pinkness has largely faded by eight to 12 weeks.

"Acne Dermabrasion Scar" can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face alone.

During your initial consultation, your surgeon may recommend alternatives to dermabrasion. This will depend on your skin type, condition, and your desired results. Alternatives include a chemical peel, using a caustic solution to remove affected skin layers; or laser skin resurfacing, using a laser to remove layers of damaged or wrinkled skin.

In general, the best candidates for dermabrasion are people in good physical healt and free of active acne. Candidates must be in good health, have no active diseases or serious, pre-existing medical conditions, and must have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery.

Possible complications commonly associated with dermabrasion:

• fever blisters
  Dermabrasion can cause fever blisters to reappear in those who are prone to frequent Herpes infections. Anti-viral medications are often used to treat this symptom.

• pigmentation changes
  Some individuals may develop a change in the pigmentation of their skin after undergoing the procedure. Treatment for this symptom may include the use of bleaching creams, as prescribed by a physician. A decrease in pigmentation can be permanent.

• thickened skin
  Thickening of the skin can develop. This symptom may be treated with cortisone creams or injections which help the skin return to its' normal state.

Although older people heal more slowly, more important factors are your skin type, coloring, and medical history. For example, black skin, Asian skin, and other dark complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a skin-refinishing treatment.
