Can Microdermabrasion Minimize Acne Scars?

As the most common skin disorder in the U.S., acne impacts as many as 50 million Americans per year. Unfortunately, even after acne lesions heal, they often leave behind scarring and discoloration. While some acne scars heal quickly, others may take years to fully disappear. 

Thankfully, there’s a selection of aesthetic treatments that can speed up the process of overcoming acne scars. Microdermabrasion is a popular option that works by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of skin cells.

If you’ve ever looked into treatments for wrinkles and facial lines, you’ve likely heard of Botox. But, did you know that this popular injectable can also be used to resolve excessive underarm sweating?
