Microdermabrasion is a precise, mechanical method of removing dead skin cells that not only improves the appearance of the skin but also supports its biological functions. This treatment is particularly valuable in the therapy of acne-prone skin – with blackheads, enlarged pores, discoloration, and post-acne scars. Through controlled microdermabrasion, pores are cleansed, cell renewal is stimulated, and absorption of active ingredients is improved, preparing the skin for subsequent stages of therapy.
When is it worth opting for microdermabrasion?
The treatment is recommended for individuals with:
- comedonal and seborrheic acne,
- enlarged pores and uneven skin texture,
- post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and minor post-acne scars,
- dull, lifeless, and polluted skin,
- poor absorption of cosmetics and skin regeneration problems.
Microdermabrasion can be performed regardless of age and skin type – appropriate depth and intensity are individually selected.
Effects of microdermabrasion treatment on acne
The treatment works in multiple directions, bringing immediate improvement to the skin's condition:
- Deep cleansing of pores and reduction of blackheads ⟶ reduction of sebum production and significant decrease in skin shine
- Smoothing and evening out skin texture ⟶ skin becomes smoother, firmer, and refreshed
- Lightening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation ⟶ skin gains a brighter, more even tone
- Improvement of microcirculation and oxygenation ⟶ acceleration of regenerative processes and skin rebuilding
- Increased absorption of active ingredients ⟶ effective preparation of the skin for oxygen therapy, ampoules, masks, or lasers
Quick guide – is microdermabrasion a good choice?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for:
- introducing acne skin therapy before peels or oxygen infusion,
- treating blackheads and sebum, especially in the T-zone,
- individuals who do not tolerate chemical peels well,
- regeneration after dermatological treatment when the skin needs cleansing and stimulation for renewal.
However, if there are active, purulent inflammatory conditions or cystic acne – the treatment is not recommended as the first choice method.
How to enhance the effect?
To achieve deeper and longer-lasting results, it is advisable to combine microdermabrasion with:
- Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion – Clarity or Vitamin C
⟶ When: directly after microdermabrasion
⟶ Why: the skin is prepared to receive concentrated substances – effect: intense hydration and antibacterial action
- Chemical peel with anti-acne properties (e.g. azelaic acid, salicylic acid)
⟶ When: 7-10 days after microdermabrasion
⟶ Why: enhancing the cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect
- LED Therapy (blue light)
⟶ When: the same day or 1-2 days later
⟶ Why: soothes micro-irritations, acts bactericidally, and aids in regeneration
Microdermabrasion increases skin permeability and facilitates the penetration of active substances – therefore, combining it with other therapies accelerates acne treatment effects. It is advisable to avoid combining it with invasive treatments on the same day or with skin having numerous purulent changes – in such cases, it is better to calm the inflammatory state first.
Why do patients choose microdermabrasion?
It is a quick, effective, and safe treatment that brings immediate skin refreshment. It works well as the first step in acne therapy, is well-tolerated, and has a low risk of irritation. Additionally, it improves the skin's appearance after just one session, motivating further care and continuation of therapy.
