Sarah Davis, 42, is a high school teacher and mother of two. For years, she felt self-conscious about the deep acne scars on her cheeks and forehead, a remnant of severe teenage acne that never fully faded. The texture made applying makeup difficult and she often caught her reflection in classroom windows with a pang of regret. During a consultation, her dermatologist, Dr. Evans, recommended dermabrasion, explaining it would mechanically resurface the skin to smooth out the pitted scars. The procedure itself was performed under local anesthesia; Sarah remembers the sound of the rotating brush and a sensation of pressure, but no pain. The recovery was the hardest part, her face was red, swollen, and oozing for about a week, requiring diligent wound care. Over the next three months, the redness faded to a pink hue and then subsided. The texture of her skin improved dramatically. Emotionally, Sarah moved from a place of resigned acceptance and hidden shame to one of newfound confidence. She now enjoys going makeup-free on weekends and feels her outward appearance finally matches her vibrant, energetic personality.
