Will microdermabrasion damage tattoos?

April 25, 2019
Asked By:dogmom91 in Somerville MA

I have always had pretty bad KP on my arms and I’ve never really found a solution that works. I just bought a microdermabrasion machine for home use and I want to also do it on my arms to help with the KP but I also have a few tattoos on my arms that I don’t want to do any damage to! I haven’t been able to find anything online about this.
