Should I do microdermabrasion for scar removal?

March 1, 2010
Asked By:Indiblue in NY

I have had this scar for more than 20 years. I have tried retinol, bleaching creams, and scrubs. My skin texture is very fine and I scar very easily, as a result, my legs are not my best feature. What else can I do? Would microdermabrasion help?
