Will Microdermabrasion Be Effective on Keratosis Pilaris Scarring on the Upper Arm?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Peels and fractional lasers for texture and other lasers for redness.  Otherwise glycolic scrubs and washes work well for maintenance and lactic acid creams for softness.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Laser hair removal can improve results as well by minimizing entrapped hair follicles and plugs. Best of luck to you.  Dr. Michael Omidi

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

Most likely these are not scars but marks where the lesions were and microdermabrasion is probably too superficial to help. see a board certified dermatologist for correct treatment
