What kind of pressure should be used during microdermabrasion?

Using light glides during microdermabrasion is essential for ensuring the procedure is both effective and safe for the client. This technique allows for the gentle exfoliation of the skin, removing dead cells and promoting cell turnover without causing irritation or damage to the underlying layers of the skin.

Light pressure minimizes the risk of creating microtears or excessive trauma to the skin, which can lead to complications such as redness, sensitivity, or uneven results. Additionally, this approach is more comfortable for the client, making the overall experience more pleasant.

While factors like skin type do play a role in determining the specific technique used, the baseline pressure applied should always lean towards light glides to ensure sensitive areas are treated with care and the skin's integrity is maintained. This method promotes the desired outcomes, such as improved skin texture and tone, while prioritizing the client’s safety and comfort.
