how effective is microdermabrasion on acne scars?

Can you answer bpk’s question about Acne?:

i understand acne scars cant be completely cured but does microdermabrasion help make them less visible, say probably 99%? and do you still need to continue going for treatments for years?
i mean help cure 99% of the acne scarring

    Acne Feedback: Microdermabrasion does work, but the downside to it is that you have to continue getting the treatments. The more treatments you get, the better the results. BUT if you stop getting the treatments then there is a chance that the scar will slightly appear. It is a costly process.

    Acne Feedback: Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective.

    Acne Feedback: Microdermabrasion only gets out the smal acne scars. What you might be interested in is a more invasive treatment like regular dermabrasion.
