Skin microdermabrasion machine

The device abrades superficial dead cells and uses suction or another controlled method to lift debris from the surface. This can make rough texture feel smoother and may help selected concerns such as mild surface dullness. It does not remove deep scars or diagnose a rash.

The strength, passes and tip choice affect the amount of exfoliation. A professional should adjust these settings for the body area, skin sensitivity and any history of pigment changes. Home devices may be less predictable when used over inflamed or fragile skin.

Tell the practitioner about eczema, psoriasis, active acne, cold sores, recent tanning, medicines and products that make your skin sensitive. Do not treat over an open wound, active infection or unexplained rash. Clean skin gently and follow the provider's preparation instructions.

Afterward, use a bland moisturiser and protect exposed skin from ultraviolet light. Avoid scrubs, waxing, strong acids and irritating actives until the surface has recovered. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur, but worsening discomfort should not be ignored.

Contact the practitioner if redness intensifies, blisters, marked swelling, crusting, pus or severe pain develops. Seek dermatology advice if dark or light patches appear afterward, or if the original concern persists and may need a different diagnosis.
