What might occur if microdermabrasion is administered too aggressively?

When microdermabrasion is administered too aggressively, one of the potential outcomes is pinpoint bleeding. This procedure involves exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells to promote a more refreshed and youthful appearance. However, if the treatment is performed too aggressively, it can damage not only the surface layers of the skin but also result in trauma to the underlying skin, leading to small areas of bleeding.

This bleeding indicates that the skin's protective barrier has been compromised, which can also heighten the risk of further complications, such as inflammation or infection. Gentle and controlled techniques are crucial to ensure clients receive the benefits of microdermabrasion without experiencing adverse effects such as pinpoint bleeding.
