Dermabrasion for thick African American skin? (Photo)

July 2, 2022
Asked By:Fabulous429463 in Atlanta, Georgia

I have very thick African American skin. I have deep scarring on both sides of my nose. The scarring is small, but deep. I have had countless microneedling treatment but the scarring is still there. A plastic surgeon mentioned dermabrasion. I researched it and it says it not safe for black skin only fair skin. But do you think if done lightly and since my scarring is rather small could it work for me? If not dermabrasion can you suggest something that should work?
