Some of the risks and side effects that can come from a dermabrasion treatment include the following:
● Redness and swelling – This should be temporary, but can last a few weeks or even
months.
● Acne – Tiny white bumps might erupt, but it should be temporary.
● Enlarged pores – Swelling from the treatment might enlarge the pores temporarily.
● Skin tone changes – Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation can result from a dermabrasion treatment.
● Infection – It’s rare, but an infection can develop.
● Scarring – This can occur if the procedure goes too deep.
All of the above can be monitored during follow-up appointments.
