Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure. It involves a skin care specialist removing the top layer of skin with a small hand-held device.
Microdermabrasion can exfoliate the skin, reduce signs of aging, and make the skin appear more even. The procedure is safe for a person with any skin color.
A healthcare professional usually performs the procedure, but some stores sell at-home kits.
You’ll consult with the professional who’s doing the procedure.
In a microdermabrasion consultation, you’ll discuss your goals, the procedure’s risks and benefits. You’ll also get instructions to follow before and after dermabrasion and perhaps have “before” photos taken to compare with your results later.
Our VERSALIS PEEL from Silhouet-Tone is a new and powerful microdermabrasion device that offers the versatility functions of the crystal-free system and the highly pure corundum crystal application, which can be precisely performed thanks to our unique Turbo Flow Projection System. The Turbo Flow System propels crystals onto the skin, safely and evenly, while keeping a circular, vortex-like motion. This offers a constant linear and rotational velocity, without causing any discomfort or irritation of the skin.
Microdermabrasion is less invasive than dermabrasion.
Dermabrasion uses more intensive methods to remove the top layer of skin. A dermatologist may recommend dermabrasion for acne scars, scars from accidents or surgery, or to remove tattoos.
Dermabrasion is only suitable for people with fair skin. Microdermabrasion can be suitable for people with any skin color.
Yes. As with all treatments that penetrate the skin or disrupt the skin’s surface, the safest procedure will be carried out by a professional. In fact, many people choose microdermabrasion over chemical peels and laser treatment because it is generally safer and more cost-effective.
The procedure may be a little uncomfortable but shouldn’t hurt. However, your skin will be slightly tender afterwards and a bit red.
People with uneven pigmentation, fine lines and clogged pores can benefit from a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
The procedure stimulates blood flow, which increases the nutrition delivered to skin cells. This improves cell production, which improves skin’s elasticity and texture. So, if you have scarring, it may help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
However, it’s not recommended if you have skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, active sunburn, herpes, lupus, open sores, psoriasis, fragile capillaries or widespread acne. This can irritate the skin and cause further breakouts.

Most treatments last about 30 minutes. Microdermabrasion can also be incorporated into a longer facial service, during which it removes skin to help serums penetrate more deeply.
