Dermabrasion and Fair Skin Tones

Dermabrasion involves using a fine sand-like particulate to help buff away imperfections on the skin. For some patients, they seek out dermabrasion to simply refine the skin texture, while others seek to improve skin tone evenness. Patients with fair skin tend to be the most ideal patients for dermabrasion appointments.

What Fair Skin Tone Patients Can Expect

As with any dermabrasion procedure, a patient can expect to feel a slight discomfort when the skin is resurfaced. However, this discomfort is temporary and only results in a slight reddening of the skin in some patients. Fair skin patients are ideal for this procedure as they are less likely to have troubles with skin discoloration at the end. Dermabrasion can lighten the skin, but if the skin is already light, any changes will not be noticeable. Even if the skin tone is altered, it creates a creamier appearance and one that is more even in tone, which is desired by many patients.

With dermabrasion, patients with fair skin can enjoy a smoother skin texture and even some removal of light acne scars and wrinkles. By removing the outer layers of skin, new layers of skin can be revealed, allowing for a fresher and more attractive appearance.
