Up to 70% of the population have sensitive skin, which means some skincare products and beauty treatments may irritate sensitive individuals. But microdermabrasion, when used with sensitive skin in mind, is highly safe — regardless of your skin type. So can sensitive skin folks get in on the glow-up? Short answer: yes. Long answer: with the right game plan in place.
Schedule a microdermabrasion/Diamond Glow appointment online or by phone with our dermatology specialists, led by Vindhya Veerula, MD, at Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for expert, accessible care.
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath. Think of it like a magic eraser for dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture.
Microdermabrasion is among the five most common types of nonsurgical cosmetic treatments. Dermabrasion is a more intense, deeper treatment with a longer recovery time.
For sensitive skin types, the key is choosing the right exfoliation method, spacing out sessions, and showing your skin some post-treatment TLC. You might require the gentlest version of microdermabrasion, especially if you have very sensitive skin. It can correct:
There’s no bleeding or extensive downtime required. Your Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa provider tailors a treatment plan that’s best suited for your goals.
Sensitive skin can look different from person to person. Your dermatologist may describe your skin as sensitive if you experience hyperactivity, irritation, hypersensitivity, or sensitive skin syndrome. You might have visible signs of discoloration, a rash, or other imperfections due to sensitive skin, or develop uncomfortable burning, stinging, tingling, or itching.
You can generally undergo microdermabrasion if you have sensitive skin. However, it’s not right for everyone. You may need to pass or choose a different treatment modality if you have eczema, psoriasis, severe acne, a rash, sores, moles, skin tags, or other growths that bleed or change in appearance.
Talk with your Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa specialist to determine which anti-aging options are best suited for your sensitive skin. They may suggest hypoallergenic skincare products, mild chemical peels, laser treatments, Botox®, dermal fillers, sclerotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or other non-harsh solutions in addition to or in place of microdermabrasion.
