Question:
I’ve heard many doctors have stopped offering microdermabrasion in favor of lasers. Is this valid?
Answer:
Microdermabrasion is generally used to treat wrinkles, acne scarring and acne. Because microdermabrasion treatments only remove superficial layers of skin, they are never as effective as lasers in the treatment of wrinkles and acne scars. However, microdermabrasion can be effective in cleaning out the blackheads and whiteheads of acne as well as temporarily tightening pores.
