Is dermabrasion good for scars?
-
Hello, I am 35 years old. My friend has done dermabrasion to remove her scars. Is dermabrasion good for scars? I learnt that dermabrasion can decrease the appearance of fine facial lines and improve the look of many skin flaws, including acne scars, scars from surgery, age spots and wrinkles. Is it true? Please leave your comments.

@deepan Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a rapidly rotating device to remove the outer layer of skin. The skin that grows back is usually smoother. Dermabrasion can be used to treat or remove:
Scars caused by acne, surgery or injuries
Fine wrinkles, especially those around the mouth
Sun-damaged skin, including age spots
Tattoos
Swelling and redness of the nose (rhinophyma)
Potentially precancerous skin patches
