Microderm Glo Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine: What to Know

Equipment and setting used in Microdermabrasion

Short answer

A Microderm Glo diamond microdermabrasion machine exfoliates the outer skin surface with a diamond tip and suction, so careful settings and clean skin matter.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

At a glance

Treatment type
Surface exfoliation with a diamond tip and suction
Main caution
Too much pressure or repeated passes can irritate skin

How the device works

The textured tip loosens surface scale while suction draws the handpiece across the skin. This can make skin feel smoother and help skincare products spread more evenly, but it does not remove deep scars or treat every cause of uneven tone. The device is a form of [Microdermabrasion Device](/technology/microdermabrasion-device/).

Using it thoughtfully

Start with the gentlest setting on a small area, keep the handpiece moving, and avoid eyelids, broken skin, active cold sores, and inflamed spots. Clean the tip as directed after use. Use a bland moisturiser afterward and protect treated skin from sunlight. Do not combine the same day with a strong exfoliating product or another resurfacing treatment such as a [Chemical Peel](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/chemical-peel/).

When to seek care

Stop if you develop marked swelling, blistering, increasing pain, pus, or redness that keeps spreading. A dermatologist can assess persistent irritation, unexplained darkening, or a reaction that does not settle after stopping the device.

Questions for your doctor

Ask whether your skin type, current products, acne, rosacea, eczema, or recent procedure makes home exfoliation unsuitable. Ask which areas and settings are reasonable, and how long to pause prescription creams before and after treatment.

Questions people ask

Can it remove acne scars?

It may smooth the surface temporarily, but deeper or indented scars usually need an assessment and a treatment plan matched to their structure.

Can I use it on active acne?

Avoid inflamed, tender, open, or infected spots; treating them mechanically can worsen irritation and spread inflammation.
