What are Dermabrasion and Dermaplaning?
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning are non-invasive skin resurfacing techniques designed to improve skin tone, clarity, and texture. These procedures address issues like wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, and scarring through the careful removal of outer skin layers:
- Dermabrasion involves the controlled scraping of the skin’s surface using a specialized instrument with a rough brush or diamond-encrusted wheel.
- Dermaplaning uses a precision scalpel to remove surface skin, smoothing deeper acne scars and creating a more even skin surface.
Both treatments encourage cell regeneration, revealing fresh, vibrant skin beneath and restoring a healthy glow.
Why Consider Dermabrasion or Dermaplaning?
The skin naturally loses elasticity and vibrancy with age, exposure to sunlight, and lifestyle factors. These treatments are ideal for individuals seeking a lasting solution for concerns that topical products alone cannot address, such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Redness or bumpiness of the nose (rhinophyma)
- Precancerous skin growths

WHAT WILL MY RECOVERY LOOK LIKE, AND WILL THERE BE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning are usually performed as outpatient procedures. After the treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and pain, as well as difficulty eating or talking. To combat these side effects, Dr. Sedgh will prescribe a specific aftercare treatment plan, along with oral and topical medications. Patients should notice a gradual decrease in redness and swelling within the first week, but it takes about two weeks for the treated skin to be deemed “socially presentable.”
As part of his commitment to providing exemplary care, Dr. Sedgh will personally monitor your recovery within the first few days after the procedure up until your skin is fully healed. You can expect regularly scheduled follow-up appointments throughout the next few months.
He also makes it a point to be available for all postoperative questions and concerns.
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SKIN AFTER TREATMENT?
faq
Once the resurfacing procedure is complete, the skin may be treated with a wet or waxy dressing, a topical ointment, or a dry treatment.
These procedures usually last anywhere between a few minutes to two hours, at the most.
1. Is dermabrasion or dermaplaning painful?
Both procedures involve controlled removal of the skin’s surface, which can cause discomfort. Local anesthesia is typically used, and for sensitive patients, Dr. Sedgh may recommend additional numbing techniques to ensure comfort.
2. How long does the procedure take?
Most sessions last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area and skin concerns. Dr. Sedgh will discuss the specifics during your consultation.
3. How soon will I see results?
Results are often noticeable within a few days as redness and swelling subside, with full results appearing in a few weeks as new, healthier skin emerges.
4. Will I need more than one session?
While many patients achieve desired results after a single treatment, some may benefit from additional sessions for optimal improvement. Dr. Sedgh will guide you on the best approach for lasting skin rejuvenation.
5. Can I combine dermabrasion or dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, these procedures can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. Dr. Sedgh will recommend complementary treatments suited to your needs during your initial consultation.
