If you’re interested in microdermabrasion treatment, keep reading to learn more about the procedure and its benefits.
What Microdermabrasion Treatments Are Used For
Microdermabrasion treatments are ideal for addressing sun-induced pigmentation, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scarring, and stretch marks. In some cases, your doctor may combine it with topical skin care, such as in the case of most acne.
The procedure may vary depending on the clinic you use and your doctor’s preference based on your history, although it generally goes as follows:
- We will clean your skin of any makeup or other products.
- Then, a hand-held device is slowly moved along the targeted areas. You may feel an odd sensation, similar to the feeling of sandpaper. The device will exfoliate the skin, continuously suctioning to remove old skin cells and debris.
That’s it! No topical or general anesthesia is needed. After the procedure, you may have to stay out of the sun and use sunscreen for a few days.

When you choose microdermabrasion treatments, you can receive many benefits, including:

As with any cosmetic surgery, there are some risks, though they are minimal.
