Can Microdermabrasion Remove Freckles and Blackheads?

Microdermabrabion can improve the appearance of blackheads and freckles; however it usually cannot remove them completely. It is a superficial treatment to have such dramatic results. The best treatment for freckles will be IPL or fraxel laser, usually done 3-5 times. Blackheads can be manually extracted during a facial and to control them try using oil-free products, Retinoids at night and exfoliate regularly by doing a microderm or a chemical peel.

Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective treatment to aid in reducing oil production, blackheads and refining skin texture.  It can be a nice treatment to partner with topical therapy for lightening unwanted pigment and enhancing cell turnover, but does not work well as a long-term or stand alone for treating freckles specifically. Before pursuing treatment, I would visit with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to ensure that another form of treatment such as a chemical peel or laser procedure wouldn't be a better solution for you.

Microdermabrasion is great for giving your skin a deep cleanse as well as extracting impurities such as clogged pores and black heads. This deeply exfoliating treatment works best as a course of treatment and with a cosmeceutical branded homecare routine such as ZO or Environ.It will have little effect on your freckles.Kind regards
