Everything You Need to Know About Microdermabrasion And The Best Treatments To Try Out

Your regular exfoliation routine gets super luxe and super effective with diamonds, 24-carat gold needles and more.

After having dabbled with good ol’ apricot, walnut, ground coffee and even sugar granules as scrubs, meet the current MVP of the beauty world – microdermabrasion.

While we may have given you the lowdown on this treatment, here’s a quick recap of the power exfoliator:

“Microdermabrasion is usually the first step of a good facial wherein you exfoliate the topmost layer of the skin with the help of a vacuum that sucks out dirt, debris, pollution and oils. It is an alternative to plucking out blackheads and preventing breakouts too. It is best to get it once a month followed by a medical or laser facial,” says dermatologist and cosmetic physician Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta.

The treatment increases the efficacy of subsequent beauty facials and is sometimes even coupled with the infusion of active solutions such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C to hydrate the skin. While microdermabrasion is often marketed as a 'skin polishing' solution, there is a new variant in the skincare circles - micro-needling.

'Micro-needling is the new, more advanced treatment that is now available. Unlike microdermabrasion, micro-needling is more beneficial as it reaches deeper down into the skin and promotes collagen production,' says Dr Simal Soin, cosmetic dermatologist.

So, we spoke to a few skin experts to find out all about the latest facials that are ruling the beauty roost. Here are their picks:
