They will be able to tell you at this point whether dermabrasion is the correct treatment for your type of scarring. If the outcome you hope for from dermabrasion is achievable you can then expect to be quizzed extensively about your lifestyle and medical history. If you need to make any changes to your lifestyle, i.e. if you are a smoker you will need to quit smoking around two weeks before the treatment, these will now be discussed.

If your consultant decides you are an appropriate candidate for dermabrasion you will then be taken though the procedure and the possible side effects and risks that come with it. Feel free to ask any questions you have, it is extremely important to understand the procedure and feel comfortable with your practitioner. You should also enquire about your practitioner’s experience of dermabrasion and their medical career to ensure you are in the best hands possible. It is often a good idea to request to view before and after examples of their previous dermabrasion work.

You should now arrange either another appointment or the treatment itself and discuss cost and possible payment plans.
