Possible to Do Dermabrasion at Home?

darlagirl
I have two acne scars on my nose and a few on my chin and cheeks. the ones on my nose are driving me nuts. Docs say not bad enough for dermabrasions and laser wont do the trick. I don't get why they wont try. I've told them I trade a flat scar that I can atleast cover w/ make up. Sooo I'm considering using med grade sandpaper and doing it myself. Even roughing up the edges to smooth it out. Or maybe an aggressive microderabrasion on edges of scars would work?? Suggestions
