What is Dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure that involves the controlled abrasion of the skin’s outermost layers using a specialized instrument. This technique is used to improve the appearance of various skin conditions, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. By removing the damaged outer layers of the skin, dermabrasion stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin cells, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion.
The Process
During the dermabrasion procedure, Dr. Chopra carefully numbs the treatment area to ensure the patient’s comfort. He then uses a high-speed rotating instrument with a diamond or wire brush to gently abrade the skin’s surface. The depth of abrasion is determined by the specific skin concerns being addressed. Dr. Chopra’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that the procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, resulting in optimal outcomes.
Benefits of Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion offers numerous benefits for patients seeking to improve the appearance of their skin:
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles

Recovery and Results
Following the dermabrasion procedure, patients can expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which typically subside within a few days.
