I had micro silicone injections of 0.04 mL into my acne scars a few month ago. I know this is not a lot and there is really no point of removing it, but I no longer want this substance in my face. I have talked to one doctor and he recommended dermabrasion to remove this. Does dermabrasion actually work to remove this ???
