Contrary to popular belief, acne cannot be cured by using dermabrasion. Acne scars can be treated to the extent of the scar being removed or greatly reduced, but it cannot be cured by using a mechanical procedure.

Let’s take a look at the facts about the process:

There are various different reasons why microdermabrasion would be considered as skin treatment. For some it may just be a matter of removing wrinkles or minor imperfections from the skin, but for others it may be more serious, such as removing acne scars or blemishes. The cost of microdermabrasion depends on the desired outcome, and the condition addressed.

As we grow older, the body loses its regeneration capabilities, and as a result of that the outer layer of skin starts showing imperfections such as wrinkling. Because of the old skin not being removed quickly enough, the new skin layer cannot surface. The unwanted layer of skin cannot be removed naturally, resulting in the need for treatment. Microdermabrasion removes the old skin, helping nature speed up the regeneration process. The new layer of skin is allowed to surface, without the scars or blemishes of the previous layer.
