subject: Using Microdermabrasion For Acne Scar Treatment [print this page] When getting microdermabrasion acne scar treatment, it is important to understand that this is not an instant solution to eliminating acne scarring. Additionally, several treatments may be required before significant results are seen. In fact, microdermabrasion works better for light scarring, which is not deep or extensive. For deep acne scars, microdermabrasion can offer some lightening and smoothing of the skin, but it will not be able to completely eliminate the pitting and roughness in which acne has caused.
