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

The process can take about 30 minutes and best results are achieved with 4 to 12 applications, depending on the severity 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 moderate sunburn or windburn, but no further pain is common. Using a 30 SPF will help protect the skin from solar burns after the microdermabrasion treatment. Also, some peeling and slight crusting can be expected in the area. No anesthesia is needed 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 applied before and after those procedures to accelerate new healthy skin creation 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 effective 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 individuals.

Microdermabrasion Treatments - Explained in 3 steps

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

2.- Use of the cream: The microdermabrasion cream can be applied with the tips of your fingers 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 should be enough. Note that the entire area must be treated. The quantity 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 repeated every 2 or 3 days. Superficial acne scars will require a two months treatment to achieve about 60% to 80% improvement, but it may take as much as 4 or 6 months of treatment to significantly treat old, large and deep marks.
