I am getting married in August. I have very big open pores. And as my skin is oily, I have some acne also. Will microdermabrasion treatment help clear all these and make the skin surface smooth?
Answered on 6th Apr '22
For very big open pores, the oil secretion needs to be controlled, because if oil secretion is not controlled, the pores wont reduce. For oil correction using salicylic acid based face washes, avoiding hair oil are important measures. Apart from that micro-needling or micro-needling radiofrequency, CO2 Laser are better options than just dermabrasion though microdermabrasion might have little effect on open pores.

Ma'am I am 36 now. I have wrinkles and dark circles under my skin. The skin is really looking dull. Can crystal microdermabrasion help to reduce these problems permanently?
Answered on 6th Apr '22
Micro-needling Dermabrasion or crystal microdermabrasion somewhat work as wrinkle treatment, but it wont result in dark circle improvement.

Hello doctor can microdermabrasion work for pregnancy stretch marks?

Microdermabrasion does not work in pregnancy stretch marks. It is either CO2 Laser with PRP or micro-needling radiofrequency with PRP that works best

I have oily skin and acne problem. The problem is that scars are not removed completely. Some are getting light but not removed completely. I recently heard about microdermabrasion for acne scars from one of my friends. Does it really work? I am 23 now. Does it have any side effects?
Answered on 12th May '22
If you have oily skin and acne problem, sometimes if acne is severe they might burst or get infected or if you pick your acne too much they might result into scars. As per Dermatologist there are 5 types of scars which are commonly encountered.
1. Ice Picks Scars: Very small in surface but deep and narrow below.
2. Roll-Over Scars: Wide but borders are difficult to appreciate
3. Box-car Scars: wide and borders can be easily appreciated.
4. Open pores like Scars: Small Ice Pick Scars
5. Hyper-trophic Scars:
so the treatment for the scars depends upon the type of scars. Commonly treatment which are effective are TCA cross, subsition treatment, microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, PRP treatment, CO2 Laser, RBM Glass laser and even dermal fillers.
As you are 23 and you are asking about microdermabrasion, it removes superficial skin layers and it is effective only for superficial scars which are not very deep. This might require you multiple sessions like 8-10 sessions for it to work. Instead of Microdermabrasion you can go for microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency which will require less number of sessions and on top of it you can add PRP to it.

I am 25-year-old man I am at level 2 baldness now. I am facing severe hair loss since the age of 23. I have already tried medication and other treatments, none of them has really helped me. I am thinking of doing hair transplant, would it help me and what which type of treatment should I go for?
Answered on 1st Apr '22
Hair transplant is not permanent cure for hair loss. Once the hair loss is started, it will progress gradually from front to back or from center to sides. So even if you are getting your hair transplant done that is basically getting hair or grafts from back of your scalp towards the front part because they don't thin. Your existing hair need to be maintained with continuous medications otherwise in 3-4 years your transplanted hair will be there and existing hair will fall and gradually you will notice the gap again. Yes, Hair transplant is nice option but need to do along with medication prescribed by hair transplant surgeon.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.
Answered on 28th Mar '22
As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.
