Scars treatments using a microdermabrasion cream can further stimulate new skin cell production in the deepest layer of the skin as it clears dull and damaged skin.

The process can take about 30 minutes and best results are achieved with 4 to 12 applications, depending on the severity of the damage to the skin in the affected patch. Skin in the treated area will be a little reddish or pink for a couple of weeks afterward.

You may find your skin to be 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 protect the skin from solar burns after the microdermabrasion procedure. Also, some peeling and light crusting may be expected in the area. No anesthesia is needed for this procedure, since it is non-invasive.

People who want to unclog pores or reduce acne scarring may find that microdermabrasion treatment is a good option. 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 dermatologists to break up 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 synthesizing new collagen and elastin fibers.

Microdermabrasion comes from a procedure called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for decades and was used to treat severe scarring by scrubbing the uppermost surface of the skin with an abrasive, metallic attachment. This highly effective procedure requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is gifted with a gentler, less invasive skin-resurfacing technology. And, there is no risk of dyschromia on darkly pigmented patients.

Microdermabrasion Treatments - Explained in 3 steps

1.- Home Microdermabrasion. There's no need of skin preparation before the exfoliation. No pre-peel preparation with any other regime is needed. First, clean your skin with an alcohol cleanser. Then just apply the cream on clean skin, with either the tips of your fingers or using a dry and soft cloth. Simply apply a small quantity to the skin and rub in a circular pattern. Wipe after ten minutes.

2.- Application of the cream: The microdermabrasion product can be applied with the tips of your fingers or with a cloth until redness appears. Leave the cream on your skin for about ten minutes. Then cleanse by brushing or wiping off the micro-crystals. Normally with a 1 or 2 minutes massage to an area of 10x10 cm (4 x 4 inches) the exfoliating of cells should be enough. Note that the full area must be treated. The quantity to be used is about 0.5 g per 10 × 10 cm area.

3.- Multiple treatments are needed to alleviate acne scars. Treatments should be reapplied every 2 or 3 days. Superficial acne scars will need 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 improve old, large and deep marks.
