A patient is most likely to visit a dermatologist to undergo dermaplaning for which of the following disorders?
A
alopecia areata
B
carbuncle
C
cyst
D
acne
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dermaplaning is used to treat deep acne scars with a hand-held instrument called a dermatome. The dermatome looks like an electric razor and has an oscillating blade that moves back and forth to evenly “skim” off the surface layers of skin that surround the craters, or other facial defects.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you are prone to acne, dermaplaning can result in a fresh breakout. You can reduce your chances of a breakout by avoiding active acne when dermaplaning. As Swierczynska says, “Dermaplaning shouldn’t be performed on active acne, as it can easily spread the bacteria and cause another flare-up.”

Detailed explanation-3: -By removing the top layer of the skin, dermaplaning can dramatically reduce the appearance of any acne scars, by removing the discolouration, and the uneven texture, associated with scar tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mild redness after the procedure. Getting cut by the blade, which could scar. Risk of infection. Discolored skin (lighter or darker than surrounding skin) Temporarily more sensitive to the sun. 04-May-2022
