Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that removes damaged, wrinkled and scarred surface layers of skin.  Dermabrasion is sometimes used to improve the appearance of traumatic scars and acne scars.  Sometimes cosmetic surgeons use a combination of dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing techniques to achieve specific results.

In a dermabrasion procedure, the skin is numbed with local anesthesia and a diamond fraise is used to plane down the scarred and damaged skin.  The dermabrasion procedure is stopped once the skin begins to have pinpoint bleeding.  Dermabrasion is different from microdermabrasion, which is a painless procedure that only removes dead skin cells and makes the skin feel smoother.  Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure.
