Have you ever had Dermabrasion?

I've struggled w/ acne and finally got rid of it w/ 5 months of Accutane. Now I've get the scars to deal with. They aren't like giant marks and holes in my face, but they're there. I'm extremely self-conscious about my appearance and long of clear skin. I have only found dermabrsion as a viable solution to uneven skin. So have you ever had it? Known someone who has had it? Or maybe your even a dermatologist with some tips. Any details on the process would be welcome.

Can you only get that dermabrasion stuff only by a dermatologist or can you do it yourself for acne and pimple

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE and is there other good ways to get rid of pimple and acne scars?

What does it cost to see a dermatologist?

I don't have a severe acne problem, but I seem to always have a few pimples here and there. I've tried proactiv, etc., but think there may be something that a doctor could perscribe to get rid of those few nagging pimples.

How much does it cost to see a dermatologist? I live in LA.
