Dermabrasion Treatment

Dermabrasion is a specialized skin resurfacing procedure designed to improve the appearance of facial skin by removing the outermost layers. By using a controlled mechanical exfoliation technique, dermabrasion smoothens rough skin, reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin tone and texture.
At Phoenix Plastic Surgery Centre, Bangalore, dermabrasion is performed by skilled dermatologic and plastic surgery experts using precise, safe, and patient-tailored techniques. Our goal is to help you achieve clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin through this clinically proven method.

Understanding Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a procedure that uses a high-speed rotary instrument with an abrasive surface to gently remove the damaged outer layers of skin. This stimulates new collagen production and promotes healthier skin regeneration from within. It is commonly used to treat:
  • Acne scars
  • Surgical or traumatic scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the mouth)
  • Pigmentation irregularities
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Precancerous rough patches (actinic keratoses)

The treatment is most effective on individuals with lighter skin tones, as there is a lower risk of pigmentation changes.

is Dermabrasion right for you?

You may get dermabrasion if:

At Phoenix Plastic Surgery Centre, Bangalore, we conduct a comprehensive skin analysis and medical evaluation to determine if dermabrasion is right for you or if alternative treatments (e.g., chemical peels, microneedling, or laser resurfacing) would be more appropriate.
