See details: Dermabrasion can refer to any process in which the skin surface is abraded, but usually refers to the use of a mechanical rotary device similar to a "sander." salabrasion specifically refers to the use of a concentrated saline solution (saltwater) to perform the abrasion.

Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion uses mechanical means to remove the outer layers of the skin. Salabrasion uses salt and water as the agent to remove the outer layers of the skin.
