What it is – What it offers
What is Microdermabrasion with Microcrystals
Microdermabrasion with microcrystals is a modern, non-invasive technique for deep cleansing and renewal of the skin. The method relies on the controlled projection of microscopic crystals (sterile aluminium oxide) onto the skin surface, which carry away dead cells and are simultaneously suctioned up together with impurities.
Microdermabrasion with microcrystals is a useful tool for radiance and anti-ageing. Through this advanced medical exfoliation, microcirculation is activated and the natural production of collagen is stimulated. The treatment is adapted to the needs and skin type of each patient, offering immediate cellular renewal, a reduction in dullness and visibly smoother, firmer and more velvety skin.
Microdermabrasion
Areas of application
Areas & Indications
Microdermabrasion with microcrystals is applied to the face and may help improve the following conditions:
- Fine lines and expression lines
- Dullness, lack of tone and loss of natural radiance
- Some superficial pigmentation irregularities and spots (their appearance may be improved)
- Acne marks and scars
- Blackheads and clogged pores (deep medical cleansing)
Beauty by Design
Deep cleansing. Instant radiance.
The controlled projection of microcrystals carries away dead cells and stimulates the natural production of collagen for a velvety texture from the first session.
How it is done
How the treatment is performed
The treatment is carried out at the clinic, offering a comfortable and quick experience, following a personalised treatment plan.
Micro-exfoliation & Suction
Using a special handpiece, the specialist projects the microcrystals onto the skin. The crystals precisely remove dead cells, while simultaneous suction (vacuum) cleanses the pores and boosts circulation.
Hydration & Protection
Immediately after the procedure, the skin is more receptive, and rich moisturising, soothing creams or special serums are applied, along with sun protection.
Home Care Instructions
Simple instructions are given to maintain the result, with an emphasis on systematic hydration over the following days.
Preparation before treatment
Preparation before treatment
The treatment does not require special preparation, however it is recommended to arrive at the clinic with clean skin, without make-up. Also, avoid using products containing retinol or strong chemical peels (AHA/BHA) for 2–3 days before the session.

Aftercare
What to expect after the treatment
After the treatment, the plastic surgeon will give you detailed instructions on what to do and what to avoid, so that there are no surprises.
First hours
You can return to your commitments immediately. A very mild, temporary redness (pinkish skin) may appear, which subsides within a few hours, leaving the skin radiant.
Activities & Perspiration
For the first 24–48 hours, it is advisable to avoid very intense physical exercise that causes excessive sweating, as well as saunas, to avoid irritating the freshly cleansed pores.
Protection & Make-up
It is recommended to avoid heavy make-up for the first 24 hours. Sun exposure should always be accompanied by sunscreen.
Daily Care
After microcrystals, the skin is "thirsty" for hydration. It is essential to apply a rich moisturising cream and a high-SPF sunscreen every day, following the specialist's instructions.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Patients who use microcrystals as a complementary treatment, combined with other therapies, see visible results. Because the method removes dead cells, the skin becomes more permeable. When combined with mesotherapy, injectable hyaluronic acid, collagen treatments or autologous fat, the regenerative results are enhanced.
No. Devices sold for home use do not have the same power, sterilisation or precision as medical systems. Only a well-trained plastic surgeon or dermatologist can safely control the pressure and flow of the crystals, avoiding injury to the skin.
Microcrystals provide noticeable smoothing of superficial marks, pigmentation irregularities and mild acne scars, making the skin more even. For very deep scars (such as rolling or boxcar), the method works in a supportive role, as skin preparation or as a complement, but it usually needs to be combined with other medical resurfacing techniques for a fuller result.
As this is a non-invasive method with a high safety profile when performed by a doctor, complications are rare. Some skin types may show temporary mild irritation, dryness or redness, which subside within a few hours with the use of a moisturising cream.
