Is Dermabrasion for you?

Before choosing to have Dermabrasion, you need to consider:

• Do you have any scarring or uneven skin?
• Have you recently had any kind of skin infection?
• Are you overly sensitive to the cold?
• Do you have time to properly care for healing skin?
• What prescriptions are you taking?

You should always speak to your surgeon about all of these things in the consultation, before going ahead with the surgery.
