Blemishes, stretch marks and wrinkles can make your skin less even and affect your beauty. However, remedies exist and can be of a very different type: from the most common ones such as the use of repairing creams to cosmetic surgery. Just as when you choose a cream, you adjust to different factors – from age to skin type – in the same way you can evaluate different solutions for cosmetic defects.
In fact, there is also a less invasive skin treatment than cosmetic surgery: it removes the superficial layer of the skin, eliminating all types of imperfections.
This is dermabrasion : widespread in the 1950s, it is now a consolidated and highly effective technique. Provided, however, that you rely on an expert surgeon.What is aesthetic
dermabrasion Dermabrasion is a real surgery, although it is less invasive than plastic surgery. Dermabrasion is done through the use of small diamond burs that remove the most superficial part of the skin. It takes place under local anesthesia and, if there are no particular pathological situations, it is done on an outpatient basis: the doctor smoothes the superficial layer of the skin to eliminate imperfections starting from the center towards the edge with a movement that tends to fade.
In this way we try to avoid discolorations between the regenerated part of the skin and the one that was not affected by the treatment. The professionalism of those who work is very important: theremoval of the skin must be done very carefully so that, both when it concerns only the most superficial layer of the skin and when it is a little deeper, it is not injured in order to cause other scars.
If the operation concerns a very large surface or particularly delicate parts of the body, it can be done with total sedation. In that case, hospitalization for at least one night is required. Microdermabrasion
In recent years a type of treatment has been developed that takes its cue from dermabrasion but which is lighter and less traumatic. This is microdermabrasion : it is performed on an outpatient basis in a series of subsequent sessions, usually one every fortnight.
This type of treatment has exfoliating power and delicately removes the most superficial layer of the skin with hypoallergenic microgranules of aluminum hydroxide or diamond crystals. It is mainly used to eliminate small wrinkles or slight imperfections. However, it is not indicated in cases where it is necessary to act in depth. After the sessions necessary to eliminate the imperfection, some maintenance sessions are needed. When to resort to dermabrasion Dermabrasion
is a technique particularly suitable for the removal of blemishes. In particular, it is used to eliminate stretch marksand scars. Stretch marks are cosmetic imperfections that affect a large part of both the male and female population. It is estimated that about 80% of women have blemishes of this type, especially because they are favored by pregnancies. Stretch marks
are small lacerations of the superficial tissues of the skin that are produced by sudden increases and decreases in weight, as can occur during and after pregnancy. The skin stretches beyond what allows natural elasticity so that small visible lashes are formed both for color differences and for consistency.
Dermabrasion reduces these imperfections, bringing back a more uniform color and a smoother skin. This type of treatment is also very useful foreliminate scars , especially those caused by acne. Like all beauty treatments, it may not be entirely conclusive, a lot depends on the condition of the skin but also on the phototype and the part of the body. In order not to have to resort to interventions of this kind, it would still be useful to follow the right methods to eliminate pimples without leaving scars. Who to contact for dermabrasion
Since this is a real intervention , although not very invasive, it is advisable that you contact a cosmetic surgeon specialized in this practice. Unfortunately, the news tells us of dramatic cases linked to cosmetic surgery: this is why it is important to be well informed and protect yourself. Furthermore, precisely because cases are not all the same and because the result depends on each situation, only a doctor is able to obtain the best possible result.
Even the post-operativeshould be followed carefully: although it is an operation with low chance of complications, skin infections must be avoided. Finally, you should know that regenerating skin is rather delicate and sensitive to the sun and cold. Therefore it is very important that you follow the medical instructions precisely and do not expose new skin to any kind of risk: in addition to the most serious cases of burns and infections, spots of a different color than the skin not affected by the treatment could be created, affecting the good results. How much dermabrasion costs
The costs for dermabrasion can be very different depending on the type of intervention and the structure in which it is performed and the type of intervention required.
In addition to the cost of the actual operation, prices may vary if hospitalization is deemed necessary or if it is carried out in a day hospital.
As for microdermabrasion , prices are generally based on the number of sessions. Each session can vary from € 80-100 up to € 150-200 depending on the type of treatment required and the extension of the surface to be treated.
