Microdermabrasion Removed Mole - What Should I Do? While having a microdermabrasion treatment a mole was taken off the top, tip of my nose. It was small and I think she thought it was a blackhead. Now today the scab fell off of where the mole was, what should I do?

A: Have a dermatologist check your mole after microdermabrasion injured it

You should probably have the area checked by a board certified dermatologist to see if any residual mole is still present. Chances are the microdermabasion only removed the top of the mole and sometimes the mole can grow back. Without an expert check, you can't be sure what it was. It could have been a skin cancer, freckle, mole or something else entirely.

Blue Peel or Laser Resurfacing for Mild Hyperpigmentation? What is the best treatment for acne scars with mild hyperpigmentation? Will I benefit more from Blue Peel or from laser resurfacing? I've had microdermabrasion with Glycolic Acid Peel but the effect wasn't drastic.

A: Peel or Laser for Acne Scars

The challenge with your question is that the best treatment for textured acne scars is different than the best treatment for pigmented acne scars (hyperpigmentation).

For pigmented acne scars consider:

Depigmentation programs including hydroquinone
Q-stitched lasers
Chemical Peels

For Textured Acne Scars consider:

CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Punch Excision
Subcision
Dermabrasion

	“It is What It Is...good for Certain...” I do microdermabrasion monthly as part of my regular skin care regimen. Microdermabrasion has done more for my infrequent pimple breakouts more than any other acne medication or treatments combined. Just exfoliating that top layer of skin makes my face feel smoother, refreshed and cleaner. It is a little drying though, but nothing a little facial moisturizer can't cure. On top of that,... more
	“I Like the New "Wet" Microderm -...” I have had micordermabrasion monthly for the past 5-6 years and absolutely love it! But I recently tried the new "Silk Peel" which is the same as wet microdermabrasion at the dermatologist's office. This is where they infuse either salisylic acid, lightening cream, or hydrating cream into the skin simultaneously while performing the microderm. The procedure only lasts a half hour... more
	“It Really Depends but Overall, Very Good” I first had microdermabrasion done at my dermatologist's office when I was 32 or 33 years old. The first time it did feel uncomfortable, and my face was red for the day. I think I did a series of 4 instead of 6, but the results were great for the year. It really depends on the type of machines they use and what types of salt or crystals are used on your face. I've also had... more
