   Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. It's also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermabrasion can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face. If there are depth scars during the same application they can also be removed during application. Chemical peeling operation can also be added during dermabrasion. Generally chemical application is applied for removal of surface wrinkles and dermabrasion is applied for deeper irregularities. Besides applying as a single procedure it can also be applied together with face lift, scar correction or other plastic surgeries.
