Is Microdermabrasion Safe After 60?

lukesmimi
I have been receiving microdermabrasion approximately every 6 weeks for about a year. My nurse friend says that she has consulted other nurses in her surgical unit, and they say it could actually be damaging to my skin. From everything I have read here on this website and others, I think it actually is improving and helping my skin. Doctors: please help!
