Summary Dermabrasion is a resurfacing procedure that has been part of dermatology for almost 100 years. With the advent of laser resurfacing in the 1990s, the art of dermabrasion has temporarily been partially eclipsed. This review article covers the history of dermabrasion, (pre-operative selection of patient equipment, the techniques and the post-operative care of dermabrasion patients. Many clinical examples are illustrated. The combination of dermabrasion with other resurfacing techniques, such as laser (CO2 and Erbium) and chemical peels (trichloracetic acid (TCA)) are illustrated.
