The chemical peels session made my skin thin and super sensitive. I was flushing red for many years, especially under the sun. It took quite many years before my skin stopped flushing badly. I would like to share my experience about microdermabrasion(MD) on my acne scars though. Honestly, I have developed a habit of not looking at myself in the mirror due to my past acne issue, I didn\u2019t observe how bad my scars were. My mum was the one keeping track of my progress. After so many years of doing MD monthly with my aesthetic GP, I would say that I do not have any pitted scars or big pores. According to my mum, she said in my younger days before I had MD treatments, my pores were big and there were holes on my face. So, I guess MD did play a big part in reducing\/removing my acne scars. Again, patience is the key. There\u2019s no instant fix.

If you still have existing acnes, it would be better to clear the acne first before starting these procedures for scar treatment.

Furthermore, doctors\u2019 grade machines are stronger than those of beauticians, so results would be more noticeable. Of course, not all doctors are good. Grasping the intensity to use on the different skin types takes experience and using too high an intensity might lead to sensitive skin. The strength of chemical peels to use by the doctor is also crucial. I have had a&nbsp;bad experience with chemical peels with a famous aesthetic GP, causing me to have sensitive skin.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a4d25c2\" data-block-id=\"a4d25c2\"><style>.stk-a4d25c2 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Previously, I went to another aesthetic GP to do microdermabrasion once a month until I relocated to Jakarta. Microdermabrasion helps to remove the outer skin layer and sucks out the whiteheads\/blackheads. I saw the strands of whiteheads\/blackheads coming out from my nose with my own eyes when the nurse was doing microdermabrasion for me. From then on, I was sold. It\u2019s painless too unlike extractions done in beauty salons. I don\u2019t believe in extractions as if it\u2019s not done properly, it might lead to scarring.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-33ea5e4\" data-block-id=\"33ea5e4\"><style>.stk-33ea5e4 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, I must caution that if we have existing acne outbreak, microdermabrasion might possibly make us break out even more. That\u2019s what happened to me! My GP doesn\u2019t do microdermabrasion for me if I have outbreaks. Instead, we just do a calming and anti-bacterial mask. However, after I relocated from Singapore to Jakarta in 2012. I\u2019ve not went for facials and my skin never looked better just by using Skinlycious routine . The one time I tried doing a hydradermabrasion with an aesthetic doctor in Jakarta left me with super oily skin thereafter for a few days. I took a look at the hyaluronic acid serum they were infusing while doing the dermabrasion, sodium hyaluronate was ranked lower than the preservatives, I knew the concentration was so low that I\u2019m better off using my own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/skinlycious.com\/product\/hydrating-serum\/\">hydrating serum<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acne Scars There are essentially two basic types of acne scars: \u2022 Atrophic&nbsp;\u2013 Pitted, depressed acne scars \u2022 Hypertrophic and Keloidal&nbsp;\u2013 Raised acne scars Red\/Brown\/Purple \u201cScars\u201d What about the red\/pink\/purple\/brown colored marks left on our skin when our acne is clearing and skin is healing?
