About the procedure
Microdermabrasion mechanically removes part of the outermost skin layer. Diamond tips and suction are combined with skin-care steps adapted to the skin. It works at a shallower depth than dermabrasion.
Your consultation
Assessment reviews skin texture, sensitivity, inflammation and recent procedures. Selection depends on the skin’s current condition, rather than a wish for a smoother surface alone.
What to expect
- Assess the skin and whether exfoliation is appropriate.
- Select the area and intensity and explain accompanying steps.
- Perform the procedure and check the skin’s response.
Recovery and follow-up
Redness, sensitivity or a feeling of dryness may occur. Recovery depends on intensity and tolerance; instructions are adapted to the skin and products used.
What to consider
The procedure can cause irritation, abrasions and pigment changes in susceptible people. It does not remove deep scars or treat every form of acne.
Common questions
How does it differ from dermabrasion?
It works more superficially. The names are similar, but depth, indications and recovery are not identical.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Not automatically. Inflammation, fragility or an active condition can change the choice. Assessment determines whether another type of care would be preferable.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
