Dermabrasion Procedure for Shallow Acne Scars

She_Ra
hi, how long do you need to continue your social activities after dermabrasion? And do you take medicine to lessen pain? If I have 20 sessions of microdermabrasion is it equal to one dermabasion? Thanks I have shallow acne scars on my face. They are pitted and I wish a smoother face, is it possible to make them less visible and fade?
