What Is Dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is a specialized and effective technique primarily used to help flatten raised scars and improve overall skin texture. During the dermabrasion process, a sterile, meshed tool is gently and precisely rubbed over the raised scar. This action works to carefully remove superficial layers of skin and scar tissue, allowing for a smoother, more even contour to be achieved. The treatment continues until the desired level of flattening and refinement is reached, revealing a more uniform skin surface.

Benefits of Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion offers significant advantages for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of certain types of scars and refine skin texture, providing a noticeable enhancement with a relatively quick recovery. This method excels at flattening raised scars, effectively reducing the prominence of hypertrophic scars and other elevated marks to create a much smoother surface.
How Dermabrasion Works and Treatment Details
Dermabrasion works by precisely abrading the uppermost layers of the skin, thereby removing damaged cells and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin. This controlled exfoliation process is particularly effective for smoothing out raised scars.
During your Dermabrasion treatment at MOY MD, your comfort is prioritized. The scar and surrounding skin will be thoroughly numbed with a local anesthetic. Our skilled provider will then use a specialized, high-speed rotary instrument with an abrasive tip (the sterile meshed tool mentioned) to carefully and gently resurface the raised scar. This tool meticulously sands down the scar tissue, allowing for a controlled reduction in its height and improving its blend with the adjacent skin. The procedure is precise, allowing the provider to achieve the desired contour and smoothness.
Most patients experience significant healing within about one week, after which the new, smoother skin will begin to emerge. While initial redness is common, it typically fades over time, revealing the full benefits of the treatment. Depending on the scar’s characteristics and desired outcome, a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve the best possible results.
