A: Dermaplaning unlikely to be effective for significant acne scars

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

Dermaplaning on acne scars is a relatively minimally invasive intervention which is not likely to have any dramatic effects on acne scarring. It is more likely that you will derive greater benefit from dermabrasion and this may take multiple sesions. A 30% improvement is considered a decent result.
