The short answer
Start with the clearest answer.
Microdermabrasion may not be appropriate over inflamed lesions; candidacy depends on the skin condition and the protocol.
Who this is for
Start with your actual goal.
People considering diamond microdermabrasion for congestion or texture.
Bring this to a consultation
Leave with fewer unknowns.
Ask what the provider will treat, avoid, and recommend if acne is active or scarring. A useful provider should answer plainly, explain tradeoffs, and make room for a second opinion when the fit is not right.
Use this checklist
- Share current acne medications.
- Ask whether active areas will be skipped.
- Confirm post-treatment product guidance.
