A: Dermabrasion usually of limited benefit for scars

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

Dermabrasion is generally not advised for burn scars due to lack of adnexal structures which can compromise healing after the dermabrasion. If performed, it must be done cautiously. It also may need to be repeated.  Do not expect dramatic results.
