Fixing the ice pick scars first then dermabrasion later is the best order.

Ice pick scars are best treated with punch grafting them first then about 6 weeks later , dermabrading them to blend them into the surrounding skin.

Dermabrasion for shallow acne scars

Dermabrasion is a very effective technique to correct some scars, including acne scars. Dermabrasion works by sending down the area around a scar so that the entire surface is on the same level. For deeper scars, you may also benefit from subcision or possibly filling the area under the scar with a dermal filler.
