Is microdermabrasion bad for darker skin? (Photos)

saro 15
Hi, I am 22 years old , i have been taking a microdermabrasion treatment for an past 3 years. I noticed a mild white spot on my face. I just want to know whether this occurred due to continuous treatment taken or treatment was not suitable for dark skin. I think this may be a post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Is microdermabration cause hypopigmentation. Then How do i get rid of that. Anyone please help me..
