Microdermabrasion is a proven, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure. Through controlled, mechanical exfoliation of the upper layers of the skin, dead skin cells are removed, cell renewal is stimulated, and skin texture is visibly improved. At Dr. Juliane Bodo's practice in Berlin, we use this procedure specifically to gently yet effectively refine the skin's appearance – with absolutely no downtime.

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a medical-cosmetic treatment in which fine crystals or diamond tips remove the top layer of skin (stratum corneum). The gentle abrasion promotes the regeneration of skin cells and improves the absorption of skincare ingredients. The treatment is painless and particularly suitable for patients who desire fresh, smooth skin – without the need for a scalpel or injections.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and is particularly recommended for the following skin types:

  • pale, tired or large-pored skin
  • mild acne or impure skin
  • superficial pigment disorders
  • fine wrinkles and sun-damaged skin
  • Skin thickening (hyperkeratosis)
  • Preparation for medical-aesthetic treatments

Before the first treatment, an individual skin analysis is carried out in order to select the best possible form of therapy.

Treatment process

Microdermabrasion is performed in several steps:

  1. Cleansing the skin
  2. Abrasive removal of the upper skin cells using a diamond grinding head
  3. Deep penetration of active ingredients, e.g. hyaluronic acid or vitamin C
  4. Soothing final mask and care

The treatment lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes. For optimal results, we recommend a course of treatment with several sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Possible side effects

Microdermabrasion is very well tolerated. In isolated cases, slight redness, tightness, or temporary skin sensitivity may occur. Complications are rare when performed properly.

Aftercare and behavior after treatment

  • No sauna or intensive sun exposure for the first 24 hours
  • Sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 50) for at least one week
  • No peelings or irritating cosmetics in the first few days
  • Moisturizing care to support skin regeneration
