Microdermabrasion

Symptoms

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture and tone. While it is not performed to treat a medical symptom, people usually seek microdermabrasion to address dull skin, uneven tone, mild acne scars, fine lines, age spots, enlarged pores, and sun damage. After the procedure, mild redness, slight swelling, or temporary skin sensitivity may occur, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day, leaving the skin smoother and refreshed.

Causes

The need for microdermabrasion often arises due to external and internal factors that affect the skin’s appearance. Sun exposure, aging, environmental pollution, stress, and improper skincare routines can lead to a dull complexion, clogged pores, and uneven texture. Acne, pigmentation, and early signs of aging like fine lines also contribute to the desire for rejuvenating treatments. Microdermabrasion is sought as a preventive and corrective measure to restore smoothness and clarity to the skin.

Treatment

Microdermabrasion works by using a specialized device to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell renewal. The treatment also enhances blood circulation and promotes collagen production, resulting in a brighter, more youthful appearance. Sessions are quick, generally painless, and require little to no downtime. Depending on the skin’s condition, multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results, often spaced a few weeks apart.

Tips from our experts

For best results after microdermabrasion, keep the skin hydrated and protected from the sun by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Avoid harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or strong exfoliants, for at least 48 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to recover. Maintain a regular skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing and moisturizing to prolong results. A healthy diet, adequate hydration, and avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure help maintain a smooth, radiant complexion. For persistent skin issues like deep scars or pigmentation, combining microdermabrasion with other dermatologist-recommended treatments may offer even better results.
