If you are looking for a way to improve skin without have to hide away from public sight for excessive periods of time due to extreme redness, raw skin, swelling and if you have minor skin issues such as, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, small depressed scars, irregular pigmentation, and faint to moderate stretch marks, you should be a candidate. When performed with an aesthetician-level machine, microdermabrasion should be appropriate for any skin type. If you are considering use of the stronger, medical microdermabrasion, it would be smart to seek out a professional dermatologist as the stronger machines do have lower settings and they are probably more versed in the topical treatment part of the procedure. Those with darker skin tones may be prone to hyperpigmentation and special attention should be paid to the strength of the treatment used. Anyone who has keloid formation should avoid this procedure.
