Main Information

Dermabrasion, Dermasanding or Dermaplaning is a surgical procedure that has been performed since the late 1950’s. It is another example of a treatment, which aims to “resurface” the skin. It is similar in its aim to <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Laser-Skin-Rejuvenation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">lasers</a> or <a href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Chemical-Peels" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">chemical peels</a>, but uses a machine to remove the outer layer of the skin or epidermis and then the top third part of the dermis of the skin.
In recent years, the use of this particular form of skin treatment has declined as chemical peels and lasers have become more popular. A milder form of dermabrasion, known as <a title="Microdermabrasion" href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Microdermabrasion" target="_self">microdermabrasion</a>, has become very popular recently.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 5,427 dermabrasion (not including microdermabrasion) procedures took place in 2017, a decrease of 27.9% on 2016 statistics. They did not gather data on this for 2018.
Dermabrasion is still a useful procedure, however, particularly for certain types of scars.
