Dermabrasion is a resurfacing technique that has been perfected. When the patient's skin dermabrasion process would be frozen or regions other scars. Doctors then remove the scarred skin to repair and rejuvenate the skin contour as a new layer of skin replaces damaged. These results are quite remarkable and durable.
