What is dermabrasion and will it get rid of my back acne?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
ACNE: When the dermatologist thinks that you need dermabrasion to remove your acne and scars, he applies a chemical and use an instrument to clear your skin of the acne and scars. Check your back acne if dermabrasion is needed.

NO: Dermabrasion is like sanding wood to make it smoother. You won't like it and it will not make your back look any better. It is somewhat useful on the face.
