Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a controlled abrasive technique of smoothing the surface of the skin. Dermabrasion stimulates surface skin inflamation (therefore indicates greater synthesis of collagen) but not more than chemical peel so the healing is faster, lower intensity redness and less possibility of hyperpigmentation.
