Micro-dermabrasion should not be performed on young skin unless it's in medically supervised setting.

I've seen too many young women do cosmetic micro-dermabrasion at home or through unscrupulous beauty therapists, get hooked on the temporary sensation it provides and thoroughly destroy their previously healthy skin.

Use a fine micro-polishing scrub once a week, and go to a proper skincare technician and see about your dry skin and mild scarring. They'll hook you up with the right products and give health/lifestyle tips to correct your skin in the long term, not give you a damaging quick fix.

My friend, who is 22 like me, had microdermabrasion performed by a surgeon.
She had a course of microdermabrasion and laser to help with acne scars.

Personally, I think the microdermabrasion kits and scrubs are useless.

So are proper microdermabrasion sessions carried out with the proper thing at clinics safe and not damaging?

And are all the micro d kits out there bad for the skin?
