Can microdermabrasion cause scarring?

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses suction and sand to rejuvenate your skin. It is helpful for skin discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. Your face may be a bit red for an hour after your procedure, and strict sun avoidance is recommended till all redness has subsided. Your skin will feel smooth and look healthful immediately following your microdermabrasion.

I hope this helps, and best regards.
