Scars treatments with a microdermabrasion cream can further promote new skin cell synthesis 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 severity 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. You may feel like a moderate sunburn or windburn, but no further pain is common. A 30 SPF will help defend the skin from solar burns after the microdermabrasion procedure. Also, some peeling and light crusting may be expected in the area. No anesthesia is necessary 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 healing of skin proves to heal acne scars, as well as overall appearance.

For pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is used by dermatologists to remove the deeply buried scar tissue. The cream should be used 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 comes from a procedure called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been used for decades and was used to treat severe scarring by scrubbing the uppermost surface of the skin with a rough, metallic attachment. This highly effective 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. There's no need of skin preparation before the exfoliation. No pre-peel treatment with any other regime is needed. First, clean your skin with an alcohol product. Then just apply the cream on clean skin, with either the tips of your fingers or with a dry and soft cloth. Simply apply 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 cream on your skin for about 10 minutes. Then cleanse by brushing or wiping off the micro-crystals. Normally with a 1-2 minutes massage to a patch of 10x10 cm (4 x 4 inches) the exfoliating of cells will be enough. Note that the full area must be treated. The amount to be used is about 0.5 g per 10 - 10 cm area.

3.- Multiple treatments are needed to improve acne scars. Treatments should be reapplied every 2 or 3 days. Superficial acne scars will require a two months treatment to achieve about 60% to 80% improvement, whereas it may take as much as 4 or 6 months of treatment to significantly treat old, large and deep marks.
