Mikrodermabrazja czy retinol - Co lepiej działa na Twoją skórę?
Hydradermabrasion
Hydradermabrasion, also known as a hydrafacial treatment, is a combination treatment that offers the same exfoliation one might expect from a diamond tip or crystal microdermabrasion, as well as a skin infusion treatment. These infusions of solutions “contain active ingredients like antioxidants for added anti-aging benefits,” Dr. Zeichner explains.
“Microdermabrasion is a versatile procedure that can address various skin concerns and promote healthier-looking skin,” explains Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Entière Dermatology in New York. “It is generally safe for all skin types and can be an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive way to improve their complexion and address specific skin issues.” Dr. Levin notes that the main benefits of microdermabrasion may include:
- A smoother and brighter complexion
- More even skin tone and texture
- Improved appearance of age spots and dark spots
- A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhanced penetration of skincare products

Here’s a look into what we know, based on the current research available to dermatology providers.

Microdermabrasion is a fairly simple in-office cosmetic treatment that involves physical exfoliation of the skin and helps address concerns like uneven tone and texture, age spots, a dull complexion, and fine lines.
