Board certified dermatologists are best for dermabrasions
I agree that a board certified dermatologist is your best option for a dermabrasion treatment. You should choose a dermatologist who specializes in cosmetic procedures and has a good deal of experience with dermabrasions.

These treatments work by delivering uniform heat at a controlled depth to the deeper levels of the skin....

Who should do Dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is surgery. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with hospital privilages should perform this procedure. I would ask how many years have you practiced? How do you decide who should have dermabrasion? Your surgeon should follow you closely during your recovery,so that you understand your post-operative instructions for the best result.

Facial plastic surgeons and dermatologist can perform dermabrasion
Facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists can both perform dermabrasion quite satisfactorily. It is a great procedure for acne scars and perioral wrinkles. When used conservatively it is an excellent adjunct to facial cosmetic surgery procedures.

Dermabrasion
This is an invasive surgical procedure and should be performed by a physician or surgeon who is well trained in performing it. The MD must understand the indications, contraindications and post treatement management. In Canada this procedure is most commonly done by Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeons practicing Facial Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgeons, or Cosmetic Dermatologists often with dermatologic surgical training.
