Post-treatment recommendations – Dermabrasion

What care should I take following dermabrasion?

Part of the success of surgery depends on the post-treatment care. It is very important to follow the surgeon´s recommendations to reach the desired outcome. Dr. Nieto closely observes her patient´s convalescence and healing. Please do not hesitate to contact her if you have questions or concerns. You will be given written instructions for your postoperative care to you and your family.

   
1
You will be given precise instructions for postoperative care. Be sure that medical instructions are clearly understood by you and your family members.
2
Your surgeon may recommend an ointment to help the healing process. It is important to follow this recommendation.
 
3
Skin sensitivity, mild redness and swelling are considered normal post-treatment side effects. Use of the prescribed ointment may help to minimize these symptoms.
 
4
Lifting heavy things, animals or children may affect the treated area. You must avoid any activity that increases risk of hitting.
5
Avoid active sports and exercise for 4-6 weeks.
 
6
Ask your doctor when you may return to normal activities. Most people resume normal activities after 2-3 weeks. However, as each person has a different healing response, you must give your skin enough time to recover.
 
7
Avoid sun exposure until your normal skin color has returned. This may take 6-12 months. You must wear a daily sunblock lotion. Sunblock lotions diminish the damaging effects of ultra violet radiation on skin and delay the visible signs of aging.
   
8
The skin may feel tight as if expose to the sun or wind after treatment.
 
9
Avoid swimming pools for at least the first month after treatment.
 
10
Do not consume alcoholic beverages.
 
11
Some months after the procedure, a new, fresh, and soft skin will be revealed. You must use appropriate skin products if you want to maintain this condition..
 
12
Right after the procedure, your skin may experience a mild redness condition. This symptom is part of the skin´s healing process and may take 3 months to diminish. Women may wear makeup for cosmetic camouflage. Your doctor may guide you on what is the appropriate makeup for you.
 
13
Do not smoke. Nicotine inhibits the healing process.
   
14
Avoid taking any medication that has not been prescribed by your doctor, especially aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid) or aspirin-like products (Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin or Aleve). These medicines have anticoagulant adverse effects and may increase the risk of bleeding or scarring complications.
