How does microdermabrasion work for acne and acne scars?

How Acne is Caused
1. Clear Pores. This shows a heathy follicle and sebaceous gland.

2. Duct clogged by dead cells, sebum starts to accumulate.

3. Bacterial infection, inflammation triggered – Pimple.

4. Follicle ruptures, pustule with fluid is formed, resulting in Acne.

Different types of acne
Most serious acne scarring is caused by the more severe forms of acne, with nodules more likely to leave permanent scars than other types of acne.Your skin type will have an impact on the acne or acne scarring you have and whether microdermabrasion is the best treatment for you.
Mild acne

Moderate acne

Severe acne

This severe acne causes nodules — painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps to appear under the skin.
Microdermabrasion is usually best for treating acne scars or non-inflammatory acne. If it’s used on inflammatory acne, it can have a negative impact and make the skin feel more sore and raw.
Microdermabrasion for acne scars before and after

Before
“I’d had bad skin since I can remember, I exacerbated the problem by piling on make up and generally picking at breakouts. People who have never suffered from bad skin don’t realise how debilitating it can be. After spending hundreds of pounds on make up, I was desperate to find a solution that worked. “

After
“The SkinBase Facials™ have made such a vast improvement to my skin that wearing foundation has for the first time in many years become a choice rather than a necessity, I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that the treatments have made such a huge improvement to my skin. I feel amazing.”

Before
“I’ve had acne scarring for years and had come to accept that my skin would never look or feel smooth. I decided to try The SkinBase Facial™ following a long list of failed treatments, I really didn’t know what to expect.”

After
“I came for treatment for my acne and, the results were fantastic, the deep scars had visibly reduced and the overall feel and look of my skin was much smoother. Unexpectedly I also noticed a real improvement with the lines on my forehead.”
