What should be avoided to prevent irritation during microdermabrasion?

Being overly aggressive with the treatment is crucial to avoid in microdermabrasion procedures because it can lead to skin irritation, redness, and even damage. Microdermabrasion is designed to exfoliate the outer layer of skin gently, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. If the technician applies excessive force or intensity, it can compromise the skin’s barrier, leading to increased sensitivity and potential adverse effects.

Gentle techniques are essential for maintaining the client's comfort and ensuring the best possible results without causing trauma to the skin. This approach allows for effective treatment while minimizing the risk of irritation or long-term damage to the skin. Therefore, balancing the pressure and technique is key to a successful microdermabrasion session.
