Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a controlled blast of crystals or fine particles to exfoliate the top layer of skin. This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other skin concerns.

There are two main types of microdermabrasion machines: those that use crystals and those that use suction. Crystal microdermabrasion machines use a stream of aluminum oxide crystals to exfoliate the skin. Suction microdermabrasion machines use a vacuum to remove dead skin cells.  There are machines that have both functions.

Suction microdermabrasion machines are generally considered to be more gentle than crystal microdermabrasion machines. They are also less likely to cause redness or irritation. However, they may not be as effective at removing deep-seated skin problems.

How to Choose a Microdermabrasion Machine or Suction Tool

When choosing a microdermabrasion machine or suction tool, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Your skin type: If you have sensitive skin, you will need to choose a machine that is gentle.

  • Your budget: Microdermabrasion machines can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. The ones that appear above are for use at home, at affordable prices.

  • Your desired results: Some machines are better at removing deep-seated skin problems, while others are better for general exfoliation.

  • The features you want: Some machines come with additional features, such as LED lights or heat therapy.

How to Use a Microdermabrasion Machine or Suction Tool

Before using a microdermabrasion machine or suction tool, it is important to read the instructions carefully. Most machines come with a set of instructions that will tell you how to use it safely and effectively.

In general, you will need to cleanse your skin before using the machine. Then, you will apply a gel or cream to the area you want to treat. The machine will then exfoliate the skin by removing the top layer of dead cells.

After using the machine, you will need to rinse your skin with cool water and apply a moisturizer. You may also want to avoid sun exposure for a few days after using the machine.

Here is a general guideline for how often to use a microdermabrasion machine:

  • Sensitive skin: Once a week

  • Normal to oily skin: Twice a week

  • Dry skin: Once every two weeks

  • Acne-prone skin: Once a week

  • Rosacea-prone skin: Once every two weeks

It is also important to use a microdermabrasion machine on a consistent basis to see the best results. If you only use it once in a while, you will not see much improvement.

Here are some tips for using a microdermabrasion machine safely and effectively:

  • Always start with the lowest setting and gradually increase it as your skin tolerates it.

  • Do not use the machine on the same area for more than 2-3 minutes.

Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your skin. With a little research, you can choose the right machine or suction tool for your needs.
