Dermablation really helps restore the original texture of your skin. I have successfully reduced the degree of scarring on my own skin using very fine wet sandpaper. I very gently rubbed the scar tissue away down to the pink layer of skin. I then allowed the scar to heal and then I repeated this until most of the scar was gone.

Dermabrasion is a surgical process in which the top layer of skin is removed, a scab forms, and new skin emerges sans scarring. I had some scarring from old acne and had dermabrasion done on both cheeks and my chin. It was about a four hour procedure under both local and general anesthesia. The recovery process was about six weeks. It was effective in the desired result, but it was also quite traumatic for a 17 year-old girl who had no idea how she would look when they took the initial bandages off. I thought I had been horribly disfigured for life. Forewarning may help with that aspect.
