Scars treatments using a microdermabrasion cream can further promote new skin cell production in the deepest layer of the skin as it clears dull and damaged skin.

The process can take about 30 minutes and maximum results are observed with 4 to 12 applications, depending on the extension of the damage to the skin in the area. Skin in the treated area will be slightly red or pink for a couple of weeks afterward.

You may find your skin to be tight for the first 24-48 hours. You may feel like a mild sunburn or windburn, but no further pain is common. Using a 30 SPF will help defend the skin from solar burns after the microdermabrasion treatment. Also, some peeling and slight crusting may be expected in the area. No anesthesia is necessary for this treatment, since it is non-invasive.

Microdermabrasion treatment is a good option for those who wish to unclog pores and reduce fine acne scarring. Results will last and the healing of skin proves to heal acne scars, as well as overall appearance.

For pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is used by dermatologists to remove the deeply buried scar tissue. The cream should be applied before and after those treatments to accelerate new healthy skin creation and remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

Microdermabrasion comes from a procedure called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for decades and was used to treat severe scarring by polishing the uppermost surface of the skin with an abrasive, metallic instrument. This highly effective procedure requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is gifted with a gentler, less invasive skin-resurfacing technology. And, there is no chance of dyschromia on darkly pigmented patients.

Microdermabrasion Treatments - 3 Easy Steps

1.- Home Microdermabrasion. No skin preparation before the exfoliation is necessary. No pre-peel preparation with any other regime is necessary. First, clean your skin with an alcohol product. Then just apply the cream on clean skin, with either the tips of your fingers or using a dry and soft cloth. Simply apply a small amount to the skin and rub in a circular pattern. Wipe after 10 minutes.

2.- Use of the cream: The microdermabrasion cream can be applied with your finger tips or with a cloth until redness appears. Leave the product on your skin for about 10 minutes. Then cleanse by brushing or wiping off the micro-crystals. Usually with a 1 or 2 minutes massage to a patch of 10x10 cm (4 x 4 inches) the exfoliating of cells will be enough. Note that the entire area must be treated. The amount to be applied is about 0.5 g per 10 × 10 cm area.

3.- Multiple treatments are required to improve acne scars. Treatments should be reapplied every 2 or 3 days. Superficial acne scars will need a 2 months treatment to achieve about 60% to 80% improvement, whereas it may take as much as four or six months of treatment to significantly improve old, large and deep marks.
