What is microdermabrasion for?

Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and skin tones. People might choose to get the procedure if they have skin concerns, such as:

• fine lines and wrinkles
• hyperpigmentation, age spots and brown spots
• enlarged pores and blackheads
• acne and acne scars
• stretch marks
• dull-looking skin complexion
• uneven skin tone and texture
• melasma
• sun damage

Diamond-tip handpiece

A diamond-tip handpiece is designed to gently exfoliate dead cells in your skin. At the same time, it will suction them off immediately.

The depth of the abrasion may be affected by the pressure applied on the handpiece as well as how long the suction is allowed to remain on the skin. This type of microdermabrasion applicator is generally used in more sensitive facial areas, like close to the eyes.

What to expect after microdermabrasion

There is little to no downtime after microdermabrasion. You should be able to resume your daily activities immediately.

After the treatment, it is important to do the following:

• keep your skin hydrated
• use gentle skin care products
• avoid using topical acne medications for at least 2 days after treatment
• protect your skin with sunscreen, as sun sensitivity to the sun in the few weeks after the treatment.

You can typically expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of microdermabrasion sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations.
