What is Dermabrasion?

Get Gorgeous Skin

In a cosmetic procedure called Dermabrasion also known as microderm, a skin specialist smooths out skin using a high-speed rotating wheel or an abrasive laser device.

Derma means skin, and abrasion means scraping away—so Dermabrasion gently removes the outer layers of your skin to get rid of the imperfections. Dermabrasion is most commonly used on people with sun damage, acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.

What is the difference between Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion?

A Skin-Deep Difference

While both Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are skin resurfacing treatments, they differ in intensity and how they treat the skin. Dermabrasion is a more intensive procedure that uses a specialized tool to remove deeper layers of skin, making it ideal for treating more severe skin issues like deep wrinkles, scars, and significant sun damage. It often requires a longer recovery period but provides more dramatic results.

Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is a gentler treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of skin using fine crystals or a diamond tip. It’s perfect for addressing minor imperfections, fine lines, and dull skin, with minimal downtime and milder results.

What are the Benefits of Dermabrasion?

Aging Skin Becomes Youthful Again

Dermabrasion is a natural, drug-free, non-surgical alternative to get better-looking skin. By gently exfoliating the outer layers, dermabrasion reveals smoother, healthier skin beneath, with results often visible immediately after treatment. With little to no downtime, patients can quickly return to their regular activities while enjoying a refreshed, youthful glow.

Stop Delaying Dermaplaning

We are always looking to give our Atlanta Dermabrasion patients younger and more youthful-looking skin. Dermaplaning allows us to aggressively treat areas like sun damage or melasma on very young patients without fear of scarring or hyperpigmentation caused by chemical peels or laser resurfacing treatments.

Dermabrasion can also be used as part of your treatment plan after having acne scarring or pitted acne scars treated with lasers, microdermabrasion, or fillers. Dermabrasion can be used as part of your treatment plan after having a facelift, neck lift, or brow lift.

Your Dermabrasion Procedure

Beautiful Skin Starts Here

Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure that uses a high-speed rotary wheel fitted to a motor to gently rub away layers of damaged or aged skin on your face, neck, or chest. Most Dermabrasions are non-surgical procedures that only take about an hour and are done right in Dr. Mirzabeigi’s office!

During your Atlanta Dermabrasion procedure, Dr. Mirzabeigi will gently apply a topical numbing cream over any areas he plans to treat before using his DermaPlanner® device to remove dead skin cells from these areas. New healthy ones will begin to grow back immediately as he removes these cells, and redness should fade within one week of treatment.

How many sessions of Dermabrasion will I need?

Tailored for Your Goals

The number of Dermabrasion sessions you’ll need depends on the condition of your skin and the specific results you’re looking to achieve. For minor imperfections, a single session may be enough to see noticeable improvement. More significant concerns like deep scars, wrinkles, or sun damage might require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Mirzabeigi will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Following Dermabrasion, swelling should subside within a few days to a week. Dr. Mirzabeigi will provide you with specific recommendations on how to care for your skin following surgery. To ensure the best possible healing, it is critical that you understand and follow the directions carefully.
