Will Aggressive Microdermabrasion Remove Facial Hair?

airen
Dear Doctors, I signed up for a series of 6 Diamond Acid Peel Microdermabrasion. The esthetician that performs the microdermabrasion uses an aggressive technique that feels like she's scraping my face. I've completed 4 out of 6 treatments and though I've seen an improvement in clogged pores and acne scarring, I'm concerned that the technique is removing the fine hair on my face and causing the hair to grow longer? Can that be possible? Can aggressive microdermabrasion remove facial hair? Thanks
