Via http://www.dermtv.com - Microdermabrasion is a physical exfoliation procedure that uses very small particles to remove the dead, outermost layer of the skin. Dr. Schultz will demo his in-office microdermabrasion machine and discuss in detail what microdermabrasion is.

  • hi dr schultz!

    i'm 24 and still have acne i'm trying to control but i'm also dealing with darkened spots as well which i presume is scarring. could microdermabrasion help me with those? and can i use it if i have active acne? thanks. :)

  • @ANGELIKI5002 - Microdermabrasion can help even out skin tone, such as darkness and scarring, if the discoloration and depth of the scars are relatively superficial. You can have micordermabrasion treatment with active acne. However, I would recommend seeking the opinion of a your local dermatologist during an office visit to ensure that you pick the right treatment options for your issues.

  • I was wondering what is better Crystal Microdermabrasion or Diamond Tip?

  • Would you recommend physical exfoliation daily as you do chemical, or is chemical better because it's more gentle?

  • Since microdermabrasion makes your skin thinner because of its ability to remove layers of the top skin, does that mean you are more susceptible to wrinkles in the long term. Thanks

  • If microdermabrasion can remove brown spots on the skin, then why don't brown spots naturally disappear with time as your skin sheds?

  • what age would you reccomend for this treatment? would teenagers be considered?

  • thank you! :)
