What should you know about Kendal diamond microdermabrasion machine?

Short answer
A Kendal diamond microdermabrasion machine uses a diamond-coated tip to gently abrade the outermost skin surface while debris is removed.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

How the treatment works
Diamond microdermabrasion is a superficial exfoliation procedure. A handpiece passes over the skin, and the operator adjusts contact, pressure, and passes for the treatment area. It may temporarily make rough texture or dull surface appearance less noticeable, but it does not remove deep scars or replace treatment for an active skin disease.
The device itself does not determine whether treatment is suitable. Skin sensitivity, active acne inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, recent sun exposure, and medicines that increase skin fragility all affect the decision.
Preparing and caring for skin
Choose a trained provider who can explain the device settings, hygiene process, and expected reaction. Beforehand, disclose recent peels, laser procedures, waxing, injectables, retinoids, and any history of unusual scarring or pigmentation changes.
Afterward, use gentle cleansing, moisturiser, and broad-spectrum sun protection. Avoid scrubs, picking, hot environments, and irritating active ingredients until the skin has settled. A [Microdermabrasion Device](/technology/microdermabrasion-device/) page can help you understand the technology; a [Chemical Peel](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/chemical-peel/) is a different exfoliating option that uses a chemical solution rather than a diamond tip.
When to seek care
Mild redness or tightness can occur after superficial exfoliation. Contact the provider if redness is worsening, pain is substantial, swelling persists, or the skin develops blisters, crusting, pus, or darkening patches. Urgent assessment is appropriate for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, or eye exposure.
Questions for your doctor
Ask what concern the treatment is intended to address, which settings will be used, how your skin type affects the plan, and when to pause skincare products. Ask how active inflammation, pigmentation risk, or recent procedures change the recommendation.

Questions people ask
Is a diamond machine the same as a chemical peel?
No. Diamond microdermabrasion exfoliates mechanically, while a chemical peel uses a topical chemical solution.
Can it treat deep acne scars?
It may smooth the surface temporarily, but deeper scars usually need a different assessment and treatment plan.
