Hi lightening1941,
The following is the result of my research for short and long-term
complications of dermabrasion:
Dermabrasion
"A device similar to an electric sander is applied to the face under
local or general anaesthetic. The rough surface of the rapidly
rotating pad rubs off the skin surface. The healing process promotes
new growth. Deep dermabrasion removes the most wrinkles, but also
increases the risk of complications such as scarring and infection."

Some complications which may occur from dermabrasion are:
==========================================
"The greater the amount of skin removed, the higher the risk of
complications. Some of the possible complications of dermabrasion
include:
*Whiteheads can develop over the treated area, which may need to be
surgically removed.
*Some patients experience enlargement of the pores over the treated
area (these usually return to normal size once the swelling has
subsided).
*Infection of the treated area.
*Scarring.
*Change in skin colour -may be darker or lighter.
*Excessive, uncontrolled scarring (keloid or hypertrophic scars)."

What are the potential complications of dermabrasion?
"Pigmentary alteration (transiently darker, or usually lighter) is not
uncommon, and makes dermabrasion of dark-skinned individuals somewhat
of a challenge. Sometimes the addition of pre- or post-procedure
bleaching creams can minimize this. The line of demarcation between
treated and untreated areas can also be problematic. Repeated
dermabrasion to the same site can definitely predispose to permanent
hypopigmentation (lighter skin tone). Thick (hypertropic) scars can
occasionally develop, particularly in areas more prone to develop
them, such as the upper lip and chin. Cortisone creams and injections,
as well as the newer silicone sheets and gels, can be very effective
early interventions for areas which may be starting to develop scars."

==========================================
"Some of the possible complications of dermabrasion are; alteration in
the pigmentation of the skin including excessive darkening or
bleaching of the skin; scarring; infection; increased sensitivity of
the skin to sunlight; excessive bleeding; prolonged inflammation and
discoloration of the skin.
Some of the complications of dermabrasion can cause the need for
further corrective surgery. The problems include unsightly and painful
residue scars."

==========================================
"Simple in concept, Dermabrasion is technically very difficult, with a
long "learning curve" for the surgeon. There are also certain areas
that cannot be effectively dermabraded, for example, the eyelids.
Currently dermabrasion is used mostly for acne scarring, often
preceded by "pocket grafting" of the deeper scars. As with other
resurfacing methods, complications can occur, including fever blister
outbreaks, skin infections, milial cysts, and persistent redness.
Scarring and loss of skin color from excessive penetration are
relatively common in the hands of inexperienced operators. The risk of
complications is directly related to the depth of the abrasion."
