My 21 yrs old sister has moderate acne scar could a microdermabrasion treatment done by a dermatologist help?

This might help to some degree. Seeing a dermatologist in general might help as they can recommend pharmasutical strength formulations that might be useful for her. Microdermabrasion helps to remove dead cell layers and refine the skin's surface, this often helps with acne as it cleans out the pores extensively. Scars are very hard to remove. The skin in the area is tougher than the rest of your skin and needs to be softened. Some people find Vitamin E to be helpful. You can buy Vit. E oil in the drug store, or simply get a bottle of Vit. E capsules at a vitamin shop and use those as single serve treatments.


They have some clinical products that are known to help some people with bad scars, your dermatologist would be the best person to discuss these with. Sometimes in the cases of bad acne scarring, a chemical peel is a good way to go as it forces the skin to regenerate a new layer. See what the doctor says and tell her to keep her expectations realistic. It is extremely unfortunate to have acne scars and they are especially upsetting for women.





I wish you both the best of luck!!!My 21 yrs old sister has moderate acne scar could a microdermabrasion treatment done by a dermatologist help?
I am not certain, however I had a scar on my face and it went away using a treatment called genesis, you might want to look into that.
