Description
A non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the outermost layer of skin using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to improve texture, tone, and appearance.
Main Uses
Primary clinical uses include: (1) Non-surgical facial rejuvenation for mild photodamage and dull complexion, (2) Improvement of superficial acne scarring and enlarged pores, (3) Enhancement of topical product penetration (e.g., antioxidants, retinoids), (4) Adjunctive therapy for keratosis pilaris and mild melasma, (5) Pre-procedure skin conditioning before laser treatments or medium-depth chemical peels.
Normal Range
Microdermabrasion (superficial keratolysis) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure, not a diagnostic laboratory test; therefore, it has no quantitative 'normal range' or numerical reference values. Clinical assessment is qualitative—based on visual and tactile evaluation of skin texture, erythema, desquamation, and patient tolerance during/after treatment.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Insufficient treatment effect may result from: (1) Inadequate device calibration or pressure settings, (2) Excessively short treatment duration or insufficient passes, (3) Overly thick stratum corneum resistant to mechanical exfoliation, (4) Use of worn or clogged crystal tips or diamond heads, (5) Patient non-compliance with pre-procedure skin preparation (e.g., residual oils or moisturizers).
High Values - Possible Causes
Excessive or adverse response may arise from: (1) Excessive treatment intensity (pressure, speed, or number of passes), (2) Overlapping passes or prolonged dwell time in one area, (3) Contraindicated skin conditions (e.g., active rosacea, eczema, or herpes simplex), (4) Recent use of topical retinoids or chemical peels (<7 days prior), (5) Hypersensitive or Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI with increased post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk.
