I am 23 years old, and I have some acne scars and small lines under my eyes. I want to know if microdermabrasion is a safe treatment for these issues. How many sessions are usually needed to see results?
Answer: Microdermabrasion improves acne scars Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin by removing the dead skin cells from the epidermis. A series of treatments are necessary to improve acne scars and fine line and the results may be minimal. If you're looking for more dramatic changes you should consider lasers, such as Fraxel, which is safe and works great for acne scars, pigmentation and fine lines.

Answer: Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion is performed by a dermatologist who uses a special tool to get rid of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This is a non-invasive, safe procedure that reveals young, glowing skin and takes around 30 minutes. Since acne scars usually run deep in the skin, microdermabrasion will not offer dramatic results because it’s a more superficial procedure and only treats the surface of the skin.

Answer: Microdermabrasion HiThanks for your question. Due to Microdermabrasion being quite superficial in the skin and acne scarring often running deeper there is usually a minimal results and effect from a series of treatment. It will however improve and enhance the penetration of further products applied to the skin and increase cellular turnover, giving an overall smoother complexion.My go to treatment for scarring usually involves a series of skincare, peels and Collagen Stimulation Therapy. This treatment proves to be very effective at improving the depth and appearance of scars.Hope this helps

Answer: Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion can help your skin concerns, as long as they are not severe. If your scars are mild and the lines are fine, then you can benefit. The number of sessions you need depends on several factors; sometimes only 4 are needed while other times it can be 8 or more.

Answer: Microdermabrasion for acne scars Microdermabrasion can be used to even the skin and improve the appearance of acne scars, but will do little to recontour the acne scar deformity. I use microdermabrasion to treat active acne in patients who have acne scars. MD also works well in the lower eyelids to improve fine lines and aging of the skin.

Answer: Microdermabrasion versus Dermabrasion There is some confusion with terminology. Microdermabrasion is essentially a gentle form for dermabrasion. Dermabrasion takes several layers of skin off at one time and requires several days to heal. Microdermabrasion takes less off per treatment, but the recovery is essentially only a few hours of redness. After multiple treatments with microdermabrasion, you can achieve very nice results.
