What should you know about SilkPeel microdermabrasion?

A handpiece passes over the skin while it exfoliates and may deliver a topical solution. The treatment is designed for the outermost skin layers, so it is commonly used for a dull texture, mild congestion, or uneven surface appearance. The [Microdermabrasion Device](/technology/microdermabrasion-device/) and the chosen tip or solution affect how the session is performed.

Temporary tightness, pinkness, dryness, or sensitivity can occur. Microdermabrasion is not the same as a deep resurfacing procedure, and it cannot correct every scar, pigment concern, or active skin disease. A [Chemical Peel](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/chemical-peel/) uses a chemical exfoliant and may be considered for a different treatment goal.

Tell the provider about active acne inflammation, eczema, rosacea, cold sores, recent sun exposure, or medicines that make skin fragile. Arrive without irritating products unless the clinic gives other instructions. After the session, cleanse gently, moisturise, use broad-spectrum sun protection, and avoid picking or vigorous scrubbing while the skin feels sensitive. Delay strong exfoliants, waxing, or heat exposure until your provider says the skin has recovered.

Contact a clinician if pain is increasing, swelling is pronounced, the skin blisters, there is pus or fever, or a new dark or light patch develops. Eye exposure to a solution or unexpected facial swelling needs prompt advice. A review is also sensible when irritation continues instead of gradually settling.

What skin concern is this treatment expected to address? Which solution and intensity will you use? Should I pause retinoids, acids, or other products? How long should I avoid heat and direct sun? Is another procedure more suitable for my concern?
