Get Rid of Acne Scars with Microdermabrasion


Acne scars are not only unsightly, but they appear most often in the face. Because of this, people are especially keen to correct them either by softening their look or getting rid of them altogether. Among all the cosmetic treatments that can revise acne scars, microdermabrasion is one of the gentlest and most effective.

What is Microdermabrasion and How Does it Work?
Microdermabrasion is a gentler type of dermabrasion. Instead of a burr or wire being applied directly to the skin, microdermabrasion uses a stream of crystals to exfoliate the very top layers of the skin. These layers not only hold acne and other types of scars but are made up of dry, dead skin cells. When these cells are removed, the body replaces them with cells that are new, fresh and supple.

During a microdermabrasion session, the client sits in a treatment chair. The aesthetician uses a wand that blows a stream of crystals onto the treatment area on the face. At the same time, a tiny vacuum cannula takes away the debris made up of crystals, dirt and dead skin. The treatment is painless, so clients who opt for microdermabrasion don’t need a numbing agent applied to their skin. Since microdermabrasion in New Jersey at the Medical Aesthetic Center lasts about a half an hour and is an outpatient procedure, the client can go home immediately after a treatment. They can also return for more than one microdermabrasion session.

How Microdermabrasion Gets Rid of Acne Scars
Microdermabrasion is an excellent option for certain types of acne scars. Specifically, the treatment is best for depressed scars that pit the skin but lie flat against its top layer. These scars are the result of mild or moderate acne.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Besides softening the look of acne scars, the benefits of microdermabrasion in New Jersey at the Medical Aesthetic Center include evening out skin tone and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion also corrects enlarged pores and age spots and gives clients smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin.
