Acne.org ProductsWhat Is It?
Dermabrasion is a procedure performed under anesthesia, in which a rough tool, such as a spinning diamond wheel, is used to slough off the outer layers of the skin so that when the skin re-grows, its surface will be smoother and more even.
This procedure is normally done only once and you should see gradual results with time. Your skin should continue to improve month after month.
