Microdermabrasion is one the many skin rejuvenation treatments available at Advanced Aesthetic & Laser Surgery in Columbus, Ohio. This meticulous resurfacing procedure is widely known for helping patients achieve smoother, clearer complexion, but how effective is it on acne scars and discoloration spots from old blemishes? Read on, as we explore the benefits of microdermabrasion treatments. 

How Does Microdermabrasion Work on Acne Scars?

Microdermabrasion removes the top layer of damaged skin cells, which can help reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars. Using a specialized device and handpiece equipped with a diamond tip, the exfoliation removes and collects pore clogging debris and dead skin cells and encourages the skin to regenerate, leading to a smoother, more even texture and less noticeable scars.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars and Blemish Discoloration

Microdermabrasion offers several benefits for those looking to reduce the appearance of mild acne scars and blemish discoloration:

  • Stimulates Collagen- One of the key benefits of microdermabrasion is its ability to stimulate collagen production, a vital protein in skin structure. Increased collagen growth can continue to work below the surface post-treatment to diminish the visibility of scars and blemish discoloration. 
  • Immediate Results- Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture and brightness after just one session, with continued improvements over multiple treatments.
  • Enhanced Efficacy of Skincare Products- By exfoliating the skin, microdermabrasion allows for better penetration of topical treatments, improving the overall effectiveness of your daily skincare routine.
  • No Downtime- Unlike more aggressive treatments, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime.
  • Minimal Discomfort-The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort.
  • Quick and Convenient- Microdermabrasion sessions are relatively short, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Is Microdermabrasion Right for You?

At Advanced Aesthetic and Laser Surgery, your personalized care begins with a treatment consultation. During this initial meeting we will evaluate your skin and discuss your outcome goals. While microdermabrasion can be highly effective for improving the appearance of more shallow acne scars, it is important to note that results can vary based on the severity of the scars and individual skin types. 

If you are seeking improvement of deeper or more pronounced scars or texture imperfections, laser skin resurfacing or a chemical peel with microneedling may be a more efficient treatment approach. We have a comprehensive selection of non-surgical skin and laser treatments, and will work with you to develop a comprehensive plan to address your acne scars.
