Is microdermabrasion safe for your face?

Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types. The exfoliating crystals are very fine and do not harm the skin. Because microdermabrasion requires no incisions or anesthesia, there is no risk of scarring or infection. The treatment is painless and may last an hour or less.

Microdermabrasion can exfoliate the skin, reduce signs of aging and make the skin look more even. The procedure is safe for all skin types. After microdermabrasion, the treated skin may be pink or red and slightly swollen. This tends to go away within a day.

These homemade microdermabrasion kits often can't provide the depth of skin abrasion or remove dead skin cells by vacuuming them like professional microdermabrasion. Most home microdermabrasion machines and kits are generally weaker than professional in-office treatments.
