Thank you for your question. It is really hard to say exactly how many treatments you need without actually examining you and seeing what it is we are treating. Dermabrasion is a procedure that is done to improve the appearance of scars, skin irregularities and certain other skin conditions. A microdermabrasion is a gentle procedure that is done to resurface the skin and give you skin a healthy glow.
You need to say the area and basically why is dermabrasion being suggested. It could be one or many more. I do suggest you consider only a board certified physician with a lot of experience in derma-abrasion. A properly selected case with the proper doctor can give good results.
It depends on your skin type as well as the blemish you are trying to correct. For example, minor skin color variation may only require one or two, whereas deep pitting type acne scars often require 3-6 rounds of microneedling in order to minimize their appearance.
