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

The procedure 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 affected patch. Skin in the treated area will be a little reddish or pink for a couple of weeks afterward.

You may find your skin to be tight for the first 24-48 hours. It may feel like a moderate sunburn or windburn, but no further pain is common. A 30 SPF will help protect the skin from solar burns after the microdermabrasion treatment. Also, some peeling and light crusting can 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 improving of skin proves to heal acne scars, as well as overall appearance.

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

Microdermabrasion evolved from a procedure called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been used for many years and was used to treat severe scarring by polishing the uppermost surface of the skin with a rough, metallic attachment. This highly efficient procedure requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is gifted with a gentler, less invasive skin-resurfacing technology. And, there is no risk of dyschromia on darkly pigmented patients.

Microdermabrasion Treatments - Explained in 3 steps

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

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

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