Microdermabrasion Risks?
When performed by a fully qualified skin care professional, there are minimal risks with Microdermabrasion. Most risks are associated with performing Microdermabrasion under unsterile conditions or improper application of the treatment.
Patients are at risk of contracting infections if the Microdermabrasion applicator and vacuum nozzles are not properly sanitized. If the machine is improperly used at too high a strength, there is a risk that the patient’s skin may be perforated by the fine crystals that are used to exfoliate the skin. There is also a risk that when improperly applied, the Microdermabrasion crystals can enter a patient’s eye and cause irritation.
These negative side effects of Microdermabrasion are very rare, and they will not occur when the Microdermabrasion procedure is properly performed.
