Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a family of cosmetic procedures popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the strateum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion, to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin.

The procedure is not very painful and requires no anesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane in the previous twelve months.

Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed with a wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come.  The term   dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia

In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there is a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion. However while there is a multiplicity of machines available for performing this procedure, the results of their use are not consistent or standard in the industry. The key factor in achieving the desired results is having the treatment performed by a qualified and well trained Aesthetician. Generally the results of microdermabrasion are subjective in the eye of the beholder. Any purchaser of Microdermabrasion services should understand and accept that microdermabraision is purely cosmetic and does not permanently improve any skin conditions.  It is critical that the technician properly analyze the skin prior to commencing with a microdermabrasion treatment. This will determine the proper settings, depth, and number of treatments in order to achieve the desired and realistic results.

The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion methods available.

Multiple professional microdermabrasion methods exist:

 Crystal microdermabrasion

Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system.

 Diamond microdermabrasion

The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it (diamond microdermabrasion machine). With both conventional crystal and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are withdrawn away from the face.  Just as any aesthetic procedure to goal is aesthetic improvement not perfection.  Microdermabrasion in conjuction with other procedures like Skin Classic, Dermaplanning, Chemical Peels, or Roller Therapy will dramaticly improve skin and more likely meet your clients' expectation.

Home Microdermabrasion

Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments. These are cheap and very easy to perform, and although not as powerful as professional systems, they may be used to maintain the effects of clinical microdermabrasion. There is a great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands launching their own home systems.

Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. The surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Treatments focus on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells post microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.
