Does Microdermabrasion Remove Pigmentation Marks on Black Skin?

Haz12
I am fairly light skinned but i have developed some black marks below and on the sides of my eyes, the marks are very symetrical i.e they are exactly in the same places on both sides of my face. When i look in the mirror they are all i see and are affecting my self esteem, i need to have them removed. Will Microdermabrasion work for me?
