DermaSweep microdermabrasion is used to treat a number of skin problems, including hyperpigmentation, scarring and blotchy skin.* The idea behind this procedure is to aid the natural cell shedding process by manually removing dead and damaged skin cells from the surface.* This stimulates new skin cells to grow faster.*
However, because this microdermabrasion is less drastic than strong chemical peels, it will require more sessions to see the best outcomes.* For example, whereas someone who gets a TCA Peel may see significant improvement after just one treatment, multiple DermaSweep treatments may be needed to show optimal outcomes.*
There is a direct tradeoff between the number of treatments and healing times, however. For example, whereas a strong chemical peel typically requires several weeks to heal and will create strong flaking and crusting of the skin, a DermaSweep typically has milder side effects and requires no time off.*
