Microdermabrasion’s a mighty match for these 5 skin imperfections

18 August 2020 by Beth Ryan

Like a supercharged version of your favourite facial, microdermabrasion sends dead skin cells packing, leaving you practically glowing. It does this by gently blasting your face with fine crystals or a diamond tip. Then, it sucks away the debris. On top of giving you a quick beauty boost, it can treat a range of skin imperfections. Ready?

  • 1 Fine Lines

    As one of our five beauty treatments to try before botox, microdermabrasion can help if you've started to notice some… let's call them fine lines – in the mirror – and you want them gone. Because this treatment removes the top layer of skin, those fine lines appear less deep. It also stimulates your collagen production, making your complexion look naturally plumper.

  • 2 Acne scars

    Microdermabrasion can reduce those light pockmarks left behind after acne. You'll usually need a few sessions to see major improvements, but a study on 41 people with facial scars found that they all experienced good or excellent results after about nine sessions.

  • 3 Clogged pores

    Get to grips with the sciencey bit first: pores work by pushing dead skin cells to the surface. When they get clogged up, you're left with blackheads and whiteheads. Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation that sloughs the bad stuff away. And the happy ending: your pores feel cleaner and look clearer afterwards.

  • 4 Pigmentation

    Brown patches on your skin are usually caused by one of two things. One: spending too much time in the sun (sad emoji) and two: a hormonal condition called melasma that's triggered by pregnancy or birth control. Because microdermabrasion removes the very top layer of your skin, the darker areas start looking lighter after several sessions.

  • 5 Dull skin tone

    When we said microdermabrasion leaves you glowing, this was what we were talking about. Getting rid of the dead cells on your skin makes it look brighter. It'll feel softer and smoother as well. So long, farewell, blemishes.
