dermabrasions
Surface skin removal
Dermabrasions are cosmetic or medical procedures that remove the outer layers of skin through abrasion, typically using a rotating instrument or rough surface.
The procedure treats scars, wrinkles, or sun damage by encouraging new skin growth: After several dermabrasions, her acne scars were barely visible.
