I'm Considering Microdermabrasion to Help Lessen my Melasma. Can It Be Performed by a Doctor or a Technician?

MissMommee
I'm considering microdermabrasion to help lessen the severity of my melasma. I'm fair skinned and the spot is between my brows and on up to the center of my forehead. It isn't terribly noticeable with makeup, but is still a huge source of concern. I despise it and want it gone! With Micro is it best to have it performed by a medical professional or an Esthetician? Can you help lead me in the right direction on how to find a trained professional in my area? Thank you!
