Everyone would like the fresh-faced look of youthful glowing skin but very few people have such perfect skin. Even if one is lucky enough to have great skin naturally, there are many factors like sun exposure, aging, smoking that take the freshness and glow off the skin.

Indicure knows how important it is to someone’s inner confidence that they feel and look their best. For this it offers dermabrasion technique, to resurface and revitalize the skin. By scuffing or abrading the skin with tiny particles, the old layer of skin is removed to reveal new skin underneath. Less harsh than chemical peels and laser skin treatment, dermabrasion is used to reduce wrinkles, lines, blemishes, uneven skin tone, and to improve acne, facial scars and to remove pre-cancerous growths.

Plastic surgeons also use dermabrasion for the treatment of scarring related to acne, a condition known as “rhinophyma” and for acne, rosacea, tattoos, chicken pox, scars, skin growths, multiple pigmented birthmarks, blotchy brown or liver spots, keloids and sun damaged skin. It produces smoother skin by removing the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) so that new tissue grows back to replace the old.

The process is done under local anesthesia but some surgeons also prefer to use general anesthesia so that you are completely unaware of all the facial skin manipulation that is evidently required during this procedure.

First, the skin is cleansed with antiseptic agent. Many surgeons freeze the skin with ice packs or a spray that freezes the skin. The surgeon then uses a hand-held high speed rotating dermabrasion machine — about the size of a pencil — with a small cone of sandpaper or a stiff brush on its end. That instrument sands down the outer layer of the old skin and leaves a scab which remains on the face for about a week. As the scab peels off, new skin appears to reveal its natural radiance and luminosity, reducing fine lines and rejuvenating your complexion quickly and without discomfort.

Dermabrasion has several benefits. It evens out the skin’s surface that has become dry and cracked as a result of too much exposure to the sun or due to aging factors by stimulating the connective tissues. It eliminates the dull and faded appearance of the skin and boosts cell regeneration by increasing blood flow and oxygenation. It removes the wrinkles that appear due to repeated muscle contraction, such as the ones around the mouth and eyes. It reduces acne scars and opens blocked pores. It reduces the difference in the distribution of pigmentation and reduces scars marks.

Indicure is the leading name for cosmetic surgery in India. Indicure provides specialty treatment for cosmetic and dermatological procedures, at its network of centers to people looking for affordable services in India.
