What the gurus are saying
Microdermabrasion wins fans for its gentleness, with reviewers finding it remarkably soft exfoliation and listing it among in-office treatments that help stretch marks. The caution comes from the other side: several experts warn that physical scrubbing can cause micro tears instead of even exfoliation. Gurus also warn against scrubbing at home, so leave the harsh scrubs in the drawer between visits.
