Dermabrasion for the improvement of skin

Dermabrasion or surgical skin planning is a surgical technique that removes fine wrinkles or minimizes scars on the skin. This treatment has enjoyed resurgence of popularity since the 60's, when this procedure was discovered, and has been perfected over the last few decades. So, for people suffering of facial scarring that have searched for ways to improve these imperfections, now they can have a safe option.

How it works

This procedure involves the dermatologic surgeon utilizing a high speed rotating brush to remove the top layer of skin. The doctor mechanically removes the skin to improve the contour and achieve a rejuvenated appearance as a new layer of remodeled skin replaces the damaged skin. The new skin generally has a smoother and refreshed appearance. Results are generally quite remarkable and long-lasting.

Dermabrasion can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face and it doesn`t have contraindications if it is used in conjunction with other procedures such as facelift, scar removal, revision, or chemical peel.

Men and women of all ages, from young people to older adults, can benefit from dermabrasion. 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 skin complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a skin-refinishing treatment. Also people who develop allergic rashes or other skin reactions, or who get frequent fever blisters or cold sores, may experience a flare-up.

Once you've decided

If you have chosen this kind of treatment, it's especially important that you find a doctor (generally a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist) who is trained and experienced in the procedure. After all, dermabrasion usually involves the most visible part of your body, your face.

In your first consultation, be open in discussing your expectations with your surgeon and ask all the questions you may have. Your surgeon should be equally open with you, explaining the factors that could influence the procedure and the results depending of your age, skin condition, and previous plastic surgeries you may had performed.

This treatment may be performed in a surgeon's office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital. It's usually done on an outpatient basis, for cost containment and convenience. It also may be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy. You'll be awake but relaxed, and will feel minimal discomfort. In more severe cases, your surgeon may prefer to use general anesthesia, in which case you'll sleep through the procedure.

Usually performed fairly quickly, the procedure takes from a few minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how large an area of skin is involved. It's not uncommon for the procedure to be performed more than once, or in stages, especially when scarring is deep or a large area of skin is involved.

After the surgery

After the surgery is done, for a few days the skin feels as though it had been severely "brush-burned." Medications may be prescribed to alleviate any discomfort the patient may have. Healing usually occurs within 7 to 10 days.

The newly formed skin which is pink at first gradually develops a normal appearance. In most cases, the pinkness has largely faded by eight to 12 weeks. Make-up can be used as a cover-up as soon as the crust is off. Generally, most people can resume their normal occupation in seven to 10 days after dermabrasion. Patients always have to avoid unnecessary direct and indirect sunlight for three to six months after the procedure and to use a sunscreen on a regular basis when outdoors.

Possible complications associated with dermabrasion:

• Fever blisters
Dermabrasion can cause fever blisters to reappear in those who are prone to frequent herpes simplex infections. Antiviral 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 that help the skin return to its normal state.

Bioskincare: why would you try it first?

After dermabrasion it is imperative skin heals at a quick pace. Thus, BIOSKINCARE can play an important role in your skin healing process. This is because the product contains skin renewal activators that signal your body to accelerate the reproduction of skin cells.

These "Skin Renewal Activators" are natural glycoconjugates that contain copper peptides and glycomolecules that signal your body to accelerate skin renewal . The same molecules are found in healthy human skin when it is wounded. They coordinate and regulate cell proliferation, migration and tissue remodelling. But as we age these regulatory growth factors slow down their activity and it is necessary to supply them topically to achieve the same skin renewal produced by youngsters.

BIOSKINCARE supplies those natural skin renewal activators by adding, to the excipients, the complex secretions of snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller. The same they use to repair their skin and shell when damaged, and to protect themselves from oxygen free radicals and environmental hazards and pollution.

The unique BIOSKINCARE process actually forces these active ingredients to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and then activate skin cell absorption of these nutrients deep within the skin follicles.

We encourage the incorporation of this product into any carefully planned skin renewal program. It fits into the skin care program of virtually anyone because it causes no skin irritation or sensitivity to light. It is recommended for people going under laser resurfacing treatments, intense pulsed light skin renewal therapies, microdermabrasion, chemical peeling, or dermabrasion.

The natural product also works for scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, age spots, actinic keratosis, keratosis pilaris scales, and other skin conditions. Because BIOSKINCARE brings you the ONLY skin renewal product that incorporates natural skin renewal activators to gently exfoliate the worn out cells while at the same time triggering the reproduction of new collagen and elastin cells. The result is a coordinated biological regulation of the skin renewal process and thus advanced skin rejuvenation.

After the first treatment the skin already looks younger, firmer and lustrous, and continues improving with each successive application.
