Is Microdermabrasion suitable for mild acne scarring? (Photo)

Question

I have been battling with acne for about 4 years now. I have gotten 4 microdermabrasion treatments in the past which lead to significant results- but then I had to stop because my dermatologist had moved away. I only have scarring on my cheeks, and the odd couple breakouts here and there. I was curious about other doctors opinions regarding my skin, and what the best treatment would be.

Several sessions of microdermabrasion and
chemical peels can reduce pigmented scars and mild pitted scars.
