Advice? would microdermabrasion help with blackheads spots and large pores?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Microdermabrasion, peels, and laser resurfacing can all help with large pores. The difference is that it may take quite a few microdermabrasion treatments to see a significant improvement. Deeper peels or laser treatments will likely give you a faster and more significant improvement. However there may be a few days of a recovery period with the more aggressive treatments
