Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasian is one of the most common acne treatments available. It is quick, easy, relatively painless and very commonly used. Microdermabrasian works by removing the top layers of dead skin cells. The "scale" or dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin can cause blockages in the hair follicles. Microdermabrasian removes these dead skin cells, leaving the surface of the skin soft, smooth and free of scale.

Although microdermabrasian is good at removing scale, it does not address two other major causes of acne, acne bacteria and overactive oil glands.
