Dermabrasion

What is dermabrasion?

Dermabrasion is a physician-directed skin resurfacing treatment designed to refine the skin’s surface by carefully removing damaged or uneven outer layers. Rather than focusing on light-based technology or collagen stimulation alone, dermabrasion physically smooths the skin to improve tone, texture, and clarity at the surface level.

This treatment is particularly useful for patients with textural irregularities that do not respond well to topical skincare or lighter exfoliation methods. By resurfacing the skin in a controlled manner, dermabrasion encourages the growth of new skin cells, which appear smoother and more uniform as healing progresses.

Dermabrasion is often chosen when the goal is to visibly smooth imperfections while maintaining a natural appearance, without relying on lasers or injectable treatments. Because treatment depth can be adjusted, it can be customized to match both skin type and severity of concern.

At Best Impression Med Spa, Dr. Mirabile evaluates your skin condition, medical history, and long-term goals to determine whether dermabrasion is the most appropriate option or part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.

What skin concerns can dermabrasion treat?

Dermabrasion is well-suited for addressing surface-level concerns such as:

• Uneven or rough skin texture
• Fine lines caused by skin thinning
• Sun-related discoloration
• Shallow acne scars and minor scarring
• Enlarged or congested pores
• Dull skin lacking smoothness or clarity

What can I expect during a dermabrasion treatment?

Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared to ensure precision and safety. A specialized resurfacing instrument is then used to exfoliate targeted areas of the skin in a controlled, methodical manner. Treatment length varies depending on the area treated and the depth required.

Following dermabrasion, the skin may appear red, sensitive, or slightly swollen as the natural healing process begins. Over the next several days to weeks, the outer layers regenerate, gradually revealing smoother and more even-looking skin. Your provider will offer detailed aftercare guidance, including skincare and sun protection recommendations, to support proper healing and long-term results.

Because dermabrasion works at the surface, recovery timelines and results depend on treatment intensity and individual healing response.
