We all know that microdermabrasion can be a great way to take simple exfoliation to the next level. What you might not realize is that, between the benefits of treatment and the range of results you can expect to see, microdermabrasion can provide a seriously big bang for your buck. And the best part? Microdermabrasion is great for just about everyone. Here’s what you need to know.

1. There’s Very Little (If Any) Downtime

One of the best things about microdermabrasion is that the treatment comes with very little downtime. The treatment only takes about 30 minutes and just feels like vibration on your skin. You might feel a little tender directly after having microdermabrasion, and if you have sensitive skin, you may be a bit red for a day or two, but that’s it. You can see amazing skin benefits without having to hide your face right after the treatment. Just make sure you keep your skin moisturized and protected from the sun.

2. Your Pores Can Look Smaller and Less Clogged

Not only can microdermabrasion help clean out clogged pores, but it can also help pores appear smaller. While your skin is being exfoliated with a diamond-tipped wand, your pores are being freed of all the dead skin, oils and dirt clogging them. This helps pores appear smaller while your skin looks and feels clearer.

3. Blood Flow to Your Skin Can Increase

During microdermabrasion, a vacuum is used to remove dead skin cells and crystals from the treatment, but that’s not all it does. The gentle suction increases blood flow to the surface of your skin, giving you a smooth, glowing complexion. It also stimulates cell production and delivers nutrients to your skin, which keeps your skin smooth and elastic.

4. Microdermabrasion Can Be Paired with Other Treatments

Microdermabrasion is gentle enough that it can be paired with your other favorite facial treatments. If you’re seeking to diminish the appearance of deep scarring or serious hyperpigmentation, microdermabrasion and a chemical peel can make the perfect team. Because both med spa treatments are so mild, you can plan frequent appointments as needed to enjoy the best results.

5. Your Skincare Products May Work Better

Not only should your skin look great after your treatment, your skincare products may work even better after microdermabrasion. Removing all of your dead skin and the dirt and oil clogging your pores can increase the penetration of your favorite skincare products. That means you should need less product to get the job done, saving you money. Since your skin should be soft, smooth and well-cared for, your makeup should apply more evenly as well.

6. Microdermabrasion Can Be Good for Just About Everyone

Nearly anyone can benefit from the effects of microdermabrasion, regardless of age, skin type or skin tone. If you have rosacea, eczema, shingles or a recent sunburn you might want to hold off, but aside from that, microdermabrasion can a great way to improve your complexion.
