Who is a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion Procedure?
Microdermabrasion is recommended for almost everybody. For this procedure, skin pigmentation makes little to no difference. Age is also not a factor many discuss before treatment as it is recommended to most individuals from the teenage years to those with mature skin. There is no downtime after the procedure and post-treatment, patients only need to apply sunscreen and keep the face hydrated with facial lotions.
This procedure is not recommended for anyone with:
- Severe acne
- Open wounds on the face
- Those with facial psoriasis or eczema
- People who have capillaries prone to damage
Before having microdermabrasion treatments, it is important to discuss concerns and skin conditions with your doctor. This treatment is an exfoliation process and the goal is to treat the face while avoiding further irritation to already damaged or broken skin. If you are an individual who tends to scar easily, other treatment options may be preferred.
If you are concerned as to whether you can benefit from microdermabrasion, we invite you to contact our office and come in for a consultation. Even if this procedure is not recommended for your skin, we can assist you in finding one that is right for you.

Benefits and Limitations of the Microdermabrasion Treatment
Microdermabrasion treatments will yield results, but results do vary from individual to individual. If you have deep scars or wrinkles, more treatments may be needed to get the look you desire. With that being said, microdermabrasion is one of the most requested services and is not cosmetic surgery. It is a fast treatment option that provides great results. The treatment process, when done by a professional, targets problematic areas with the right amount of exfoliation to achieve the desired result without excessively harming healthy tissue.
Dead skin cells are sloughed away revealing beautiful, radiant skin below. All skin types respond to the fine crystals during the microdermabrasion sessions and the resulting smaller pores and glowing skin are almost immediate. Acne scarring will lessen as will discoloration of brown spots and age spots. Although minor bruising may occur as the outer layers are exfoliated, this side effect is rare and within a few hours you will see results.
One treatment of microdermabrasion will help with the skin’s appearance, but it is typically recommended to have multiple sessions, spaced apart to reap the best results from the service.

What to Expect After the Microdermabrasion Cosmetic Procedure
Microdermabrasion devices remove the top layer of skin from the face while pulling the debris away from the face. This process often results in slight redness and sun sensitivity. On rare occasions, there can be minimal bruising, but overall there it is an easy procedure from which to heal.
Sunscreen and a good moisturizing cream are the recommended post-procedure care plan, along with drinking plenty of water. It is important that the client does not scratch the skin of the face after the treatment as the new layer of skin may be slightly more sensitive and, therefore, more prone to injury. Clients need to wait a few weeks between treatments to allow the face to properly heal between sessions.
The skin will appear much more radiant and enlarged pores will visibly be reduced. As the new skin heals, redness, sun damage, and age spots will become lighter and may go away altogether. Unlike skin bleaching products, microdermabrasion is not a chemical process, so the face does not get as tight or peel as with chemical treatments.
Medical conditions may affect microdermabrasion results, so be sure to discuss medical conditions with the practitioner prior to getting a microdermabrasion treatment.
