These are usually problems of the surface layers and can be removed through specialised procedures. Two of such specialised procedures are dermabrasion and microdermabrasion.

Is microdermabrasion an invasive, potentially harmful procedure?
No. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, does not employ surgical means or chemicals that can harm you. It uses microcrystals that are sprayed onto the surface of your skin, to remove a more or less thick layer of dead cells, dry skin and scars. The procedure resembles sanding your skin; only that it is milder and acts at a micro level. These are very tiny exfoliating crystals we are talking about. Dermabrasion, however, uses a special instrument along with anesthetics to get the job done. Both represent exfoliation procedures that rejuvenate skin and help younger, healthier layers resurface.
