dermabrasion

Schleifung - dermabrasion is a specific medical process, and should under no circumstances be left out.

dermabrasion
Dermabrasion may be used to minimize small scars, minor skin surface irregularities, surgical scars, and acne scars. As the name implies, dermabrasion involves removing the top layers of skin with an electrical machine that “abrades” the skin. As the skin heals from the procedure, the surface appears smoother and fresher.

laser resurfacing
Laser resurfacing uses high-energy light to burn away damaged skin. Laser resurfacing may be used to minimize wrinkles and fine scars.

ignore it

I'd ignore it in this case as it is just explaining 'abrasiv' to Germans. English speakers don't need this explanation.
