Microdermabrasion is used to remove or exfoliate the outermost or epidermal layer of the skin associated with melasmaor hyperpigmentation with little to no damage to underlying skin.

However this treatment is not a deep enough exfoliation to clear deeper hyperpigmentation or resistant Melasma by itself.

The surface exfoliation achieved from Microdermabrasion  is synonymous with a softening of the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

This establishes microdermabrasion treatment as a definitive and effective tool for treating hyperpigmentation and melasma, but it is more effective when  especially combined with  some treatments such as fruit enzymes, chemical peels for dark spots and some lasers.

Microdermabrasion especially useful individuals with coarse texture skin and dullness and individuals with moderately sensitive skin because it results in fewer side effects than other procedural treatments such as  chemical peels and lasers.
