Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion, which is a more invasive procedure, is done by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. This is a method where a specialized tool like a rotational wire brush or a diamond-coated device is used to remove the top layers of the skin. The process is aimed at resurfacing the skin to solve problems like deep wrinkles and scarring, as well as uneven pigmentation.
In the dermabrasion procedure, the area to be treated is first numbed by local anesthesia, and then the device is passed over the skin, exfoliating the damaged layers gently. This process causes a regulated damage to the skin, that is followed by the production of new, healthier skin cells. Subsequently, the area under treatment has to recover and may have some redness, swelling, and crusting. At the end, after several weeks to months, the results appear gradually on the face with a smoother and younger look.
Dermabrasion is usually advised for the people with more severe skin damage like deep acne scars, surgical scars or deep wrinkles. It is mostly not appropriate for people with darker skin colors, because it may cause uneven pigmentation changes.

Micro dermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a less drastic and more delicate procedure that can be provided by a dermatologist, aesthetician, or by even using kits at home. It is a kind of treatment that is done by hand with a small abrasive device or a wand having a fine abrasive tip to give a light exfoliation of the skin. This instrument either sprays or vacuums small crystals or uses a diamond tipped applicator to remove dead skin cells and dirt from the skin surface.
Microdermabrasion is less aggressive than dermabrasion and focuses mainly on the superficial skin problems like small acne scars, fine lines, clogged pores and dull skin tone. It is not only painless but also downtime-free, which makes it a good option for people who are interested in a quick skin renewal. The procedure usually is performed throughout a series of sessions to achieve the best results and maintenance treatments may also be recommended.
