In brief

Skin polishing, or microdermabrasion, is a clinical exfoliation that removes the dead outer layer of the skin with a machine. At Shree Skin & Hair Clinic on Senapati Bapat Road, Pune, Dr. Nileema Shisode, M.D. (Ayurved), PGDCC, uses it for sun-tanned, dull, oily and ageing skin and for enlarged pores, often together with a chemical peel.

What skin polishing can help with

  • Sun tan
  • Dull or rough skin
  • Oily skin and enlarged pores
  • Skin that has lost freshness with age

What happens in a sitting

  1. The skin is cleansed
  2. The machine is passed over the face in strokes, lifting the dead surface layer
  3. The skin is soothed and moisturised, and sunscreen is applied

Mild redness for a short time is common. You can go back to your day straight away.

What it will not do

Skin polishing works on the surface. It brightens the skin but does not remove deep pigmentation or scars, and its effect is kept up with periodic sittings. For melasma and marks, a chemical peel is usually added.

When to avoid it

It is not done over inflamed acne, sunburnt or broken skin, or a skin infection. Polishing inflamed skin can make it worse.

Questions patients ask

Is skin polishing the same as a facial?

No. A facial cleanses, massages and nourishes the skin. Skin polishing is a clinical exfoliation with a machine that removes the dead outer layer.

Does skin polishing remove tan?

It is one of the treatments the clinic uses for sun tan. A patient reported excellent results with microdermabrasion for tanned skin. Results differ from person to person.

How often can it be done?

Its effect is temporary, so it is repeated from time to time. The doctor will suggest an interval for your skin.
