Microdermabrasion Techniques for Acne Scars Removal
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic technique that is used to exfoliate the top layer of the skin to brighten skin, and slowly reduce the appearance of scarring and blemishes. Although, this technique is professionally done but it can be used at home, that is both effective and quite easy. Several cosmetic scrub products are using the name Microdermabraision in their marketing campaign, but do not use them without consulting a dermatologist.
Dermabrasion is usually used for surgical purpose to abrade the upper layers of the skin, whereas Microdermadbraision is used for non-surgical purpose to abrade the lower layers. These two procedures follow the similar mechanisms, but the only difference is in their results.
