By using a small hand held tool, a metal wheeled tool which has a rough surface, the physician or the dermatologist attempts to make scars less noticeable by sanding the scars over the surface of the scar when the wheel spins rapidly, causing the scar to be worn away. Either a wire brush or a diamond fraise may be used as the abrading tip to create an open wound in order to achieve a more regular plane, or a more gradual transition between different planes, in that way improving skin contour.

The process changes the top layer by scraping off the dead skin and the irregularities to give it a smooth surface. This process also works to smooth wrinkles on the face. The skin looks like a shallow wound or red brush burn and is tender, when the procedure is over. Before the treatment, local anesthesia is injected to the area. It takes several months for the skin to re grow and heal and it depends on your skin type, the elasticity and your medical history.

Before dermabrasion, you should ask plenty of questions have an open discussion with your physician about your expectations and goals, should be honest with your medical history, so your doctor can explain the procedure thoroughly, give you specific instructions on how to prepare and may conduct an examination and even take photographs of your face, and usually treatments depens on the severity of your scar.
