Can Microdermabrasion help with Vitiligo? Or can it possibley exacerbate it? I am going to school to be an Esthetician and we are on the chapter of Microdermabrasion. I was diagnosed with Vitiligo about 3 years ago. In learning the chapter, there was a small segment that mentioned microderm could exacerbate Vitiligo. I dont want to do anything that will make it worse, it is only around my eyes on my face, but dont want it to show up anywhere else. Help?
While microdermabrasion is superficial and really has minimial adverse potential, one cannot guarantee that it would not trigger spread of vitiligo. In my years of practice, I have seen a couple cases of focal acne cystic flare leading to new areas of vitiligo. You need to weigh pros and cons of procedures and figure out your priorities.
I am wondering what, if anything, is a good treatment to combine with microdermabrasion if I want to start seeing more results. I have a few brown spots on my cheek bones and nose, still get some acne on my cheeks and chin, and now have fine lines/wrinkles showing up on my forehead and under my eyes. It just seems like microdermabrasion by itself isn't cutting it anymore. Thanks!
