title: Dermabrasion in our practice.
abstract: Dermabrasion is a technique of facial resurfacing that allows the physician to sculpt the skin surface by surgically abrading, or planing the contours of the skin. User technique, device settings, and the combination of dermabrasion with other skin resurfacing treatments enable the physician to treat a wide variety of skin defects.
