Scars treatments with 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 procedure can take about 30 minutes and maximum results are observed with 4 to 12 treatments, depending on the extension of the damage to the skin in the area. Skin in the treated area will be a little reddish or pink for a couple of weeks afterward.

In some cases, your skin may feel 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 sunburns after the microdermabrasion procedure. Also, some peeling and slight crusting can be expected in the area. No anesthesia is necessary for this procedure, 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 eliminate acne scars, as well as overall appearance.

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

Microdermabrasion comes from a procedure called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for many years and was created to treat severe scarring by scrubbing the uppermost surface of the skin with a rough, metallic attachment. This highly efficient procedure requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. A gentler and less invasive skin-resurfacing technology is used for microdermabrasion. And, there is no risk 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 treatment with any other regime is needed. First, clean your skin with an alcohol cleanser. Then just rub the cream on clean skin, with either the tips of your fingers or with a dry and soft cloth. Simply apply a small quantity to the skin and rub in a rotational pattern. Wipe after ten minutes.

2.- Application of the cream: The microdermabrasion product can be applied with your finger tips or with a cloth until redness appears. Leave the product on your skin for about ten minutes. Then cleanse by brushing or wiping off the micro-crystals. Normally with a 1-2 minutes massage to an area 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 reapplied every 2-3 days. Superficial acne scars will require a 2 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.
