The procedure requires local anesthetic and is performed in the hospitals or other medical centers. It is commonly used to treat deep acne scars, surgical scare, and sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths known as keratosis. Actinic keratosis, also called as solar keratosis, is scaly appearance caused by damage from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Dermabrasion is also performed along with other dermatology procedures such as laser treatment. After the procedure, the skin appears bright pink which gets faded in over three months.

Furthermore, rising demand for skin care treatment measures fuel the market growth. Additionally, the development in dermatology and cosmetology and availability of skilled healthcare professionals such as dermatologist influence the market growth. The growth of the market is hampered by high cost of dermabrasion, and availability of alternative treatment such as laser therapy.
