Dermabrasion For My Back/Chest/Shoulders?

We understand the dilemma. But you are a potential keloid former so any skin breakage procedure could worsen the already significant scarring that you have.

Very difficult scarring problem to correct

I understand your level of distress from your physical deformity. Your scarring is deep into the dermis and no level of treatment is going to give you any degree of improvement. Unfortunately the damage is done. Some consideration could be give to direct excision of the deeper or wider scars but you should not expect a great deal of improvement. Sorry that I could not offer any good suggestions or alternatives for you.

the skin on its own has been improving greatly, with microdermabrasion at home, salt scrubs, and light acid peels. Looking overall there is significant scarring, of all kinds. It is non keloidal- but hypertrophic. My body was hit hard, because I poisoned myself! I have great skin, great healing genetics! I altered everything by the use/abuse of anabolic steroids. Eachday on my own I see improvements. I know that Professionals such as your selfs can help as well! -Skin Stem Cell Sprays and other healing tools are being utilized! I know we can improve the appearance, the body is an amazing thing.
