Skin Lightening Using Microdermabrasion?

I have a dark brown tone by birth. If I get a microdermabrasion done will it help me to get a more lighter tone?

Microdermabrasion does not treat pigmentation unless due to excess keratin

Unless your pigmentation is due to hyperkeratosis ( callous, liver spots aka seborrheic keratoses for example), microdermabrasion, if performed properly, will not result in any improvement.

Very doubtful Microdermabrasion will help

Microdermabrasin is a very popular procedure usually done by aestheticians in a doctor's office. It can lighten some dark spots, but chances of it working or lasting are very small.
