Short answer

A professional microdermabrasion polish gently abrades the outer skin surface to improve smoothness, while results and suitability depend on your skin and the device used.

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

What the treatment does

Microdermabrasion is a surface exfoliation procedure that uses a professional device to remove loose outer cells. It may temporarily make rough or dull skin feel smoother. It does not remove deep scars, active infection, or every cause of uneven colour. Crystal and diamond-tip systems work differently, so the clinician should explain the device and the level of abrasion planned.

Prepare and recover

Before treatment, disclose active rashes, cold sores, recent tanning, medicines that increase sensitivity, and any tendency to form raised scars. Arrive with clean skin and follow the clinic's instructions. Afterward, use a gentle cleanser, bland moisturiser, and sunscreen. Avoid picking, strong acids, retinoids, waxing, and heat exposure until the skin has settled. A chemical peel is a different exfoliation option and may have a different recovery pattern.

When to seek care

Contact the treating clinician for worsening pain, marked swelling, crusting, pus, spreading redness, or colour change that continues rather than settling. Urgent care is needed for facial swelling with breathing difficulty or eye symptoms. Do not apply additional exfoliating products to a raw or blistered area while waiting for advice.

Questions for your doctor

Which device and intensity will you use? What problem is this expected to improve? Which medicines or skin products should I pause, and what aftercare should I follow?

Questions people ask

Is microdermabrasion suitable for everyone?

No. Active infection, inflamed skin, recent tanning, or certain medicines may make postponement or another approach safer.

Can I use acids after a polish?

Wait until the skin has settled and follow the clinician's specific aftercare advice before restarting exfoliating products.
