Dermabrasion costs will vary from surgeon to surgeon
Prices for all cosmetic procedures will vary from surgeon to surgeon. This is the case with dermabrasion. There is no set price schedule that plastic surgeons use. Each plastic surgeon may feel that a specific procedure is more ideally suited for one patient versus another in the same area.
I recommend you consult with several board certified plastic surgeons to find one you are comfortable with. You may benefit from different laser treatments instead of dermabrasion.

Two types of Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion has to be performed by a physician. Topical, local, or monitored anaesthesia could be needed during this procedure. The average price will be around $1500. Microdermabrasion could be performed by an aesthetician. It is a lighter and more superficial treatment.
